- knows the clinical, radiological and clinical-physiological examinations of the most common diseases
- is able to define the findings of the examinations performed in relation to the stage of the disease
- knows the treatments for the most common diseases, the consequences of treatment and is able to identify abnormalities in the patient’s condition
- knows the follow-up, monitoring and prognosis of the most common diseases
- understand that nursing and multidisciplinary activities require the skills described above in patient’s care on a daily basis

Pathology
The student
- knows the basics of the development of various diseases
- understands the principles of treatment of tumors and inflammatory diseases and the process of wound healing in internal medicine and surgery courses
- knows the changes in the body caused by aging
- knows the mechanisms of action of radiotherapy and chemotherapy
- understands the mechanisms of action of antimicrobials in pharmacology
- notices that pathology, or pathology, is a basic science that manifests itself in nursing activities in everyday life on a daily basis

Oncology
The student
- knows the prevalence of cancer, its causes, the role of genetics in the pathogenesis of cancer and the principles of cancer prevention
- knows the principles of the origin, growth and spread of cancer
- knows the general principles and treatments of cancer treatment
