2 Dermatologic emergencies o Drug eruptions o Erythema multiforme, TEN, DRESS o Urticaria, angioedema, anaphylaxis o Erythroderma o Vasculitisi o Toxic shock syndrome, Kawasaki s disease, Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome o Haemangioma of infancy o Multiple blisters, pustules Each of the above topic areas is supported by an online module. Each contains its own specific learning outcomes, topic content, additional resources, quizzes, and a range of images and case studies. Learning Outcomes: After completing this subject, students will be able to: 1. Establish a safe and appropriate clinical environment 2. Effectively communication with patients and other stakeholder 3. Develop an effective protocol for generating a relevant history 4. Critically assess a patient s condition through systematic examination 5. Formulate appropriate diagnosis and differential diagnoses based on a critical assessment of evidenced gather during diagnostic investigations 6. Devise and implement an effective treatment management plan 7. Evaluate the role of Evidence based medicine (EMB) in clinical case-based dermatology 8. Evaluate the effectiveness of treatment plans. These outcomes will be achieved in respect of each of the assessment, diagnose and manage the common dermatologic diseases listed in the subject outline Student Workload: The following extract for the ACD Academic Awards Framework Policy should be used as a guide to the minimum time a student should spend working on this subject. A 3 credit point subject will have a minimum of 36 hours teaching time associated with it per semester. 1CP will equate to a minimum of 2.5 hours personal study time per week for the student. Over a semester (20 weeks) this equates to 150 hours of personal study time for a 3 CP subject. Teaching: Weekly F2F Lecture/Tutorials Weekly Virtual classroom sessions (Includes case based online discussion contribution) Student self-paced online study H:\01Management\01 Quality Management\ HEP\Subject Outlines Page 2
