Course objectives
The course provides an overview of the methods used in laboratories of clinical genetics including prenatal cytogenetics, postnatal cytogenetics, cytogenetics in oncology, molecular cytogenetics and modern DNA and RNA diagnostic methods. In addition, genetic counseling and selected model case reports are presented to students. The subject matter presented in this course will help to better understand other medical subjects including internal medicine, neurology, surgery etc. Visit to Mendel's museum in Brno.
Learning outcomes
Student will be able to:
- to examine the patient with suspected genetic disease
- build a lineage
- to indicate the tests that will lead to the diagnosis of genetic diseases
- Have a basic overview of cytogenetic and molecular biological methods
- have a basic overview of the types of inheritance and the most important inherited diseases

Teaching methods
Practical training (about 10 % of the total volume of teaching) is complemented by a comprehensive range of simulation teaching methods on simulators with varying degrees of fidelity, trainers and virtual patients. Simulation results in subsequent debriefing (feedback to the student). There is also problem-oriented learning in the foreground, where the student is taught by solving the problem presented, as well as team-oriented teaching when small groups of students discuss and choose a solution of the problem. Emphasis is also placed on the development of soft skills, incl. so-called "21st century skills", particularly communication, decision-making skills, critical thinking, crisis communication and teamwork.
Assessment methods
for giving of course-unit credit is necessary full attendance in the lessons. Traditional methods are complemented by objective clinical evaluation that verifies clinical knowledge and other skills such as communication, physical examination, performance, performance interpretation, etc. This evaluation method provides students with objective and specific feedback.
