Every other spring semester

The objective of the course is to provide an overview over areas in various medical fields, but is not intended to be a short version of the MD education! The course is given as lectures with invited speakers, all with very high competence within their specialties (sometimes world leading). In that way a good insight into current trends in the research front is given. It is these lectures that define the course. Sometimes the lecturer will angle his talk towards technical solutions, to show how technology solves a specific problem, or how it could be solved. We believe that the student will assimilate the course best if he or she is at the end of his or her education, so that the student best can relate the presented medical problems to his or her technical competence.

As mentioned above, the course is defined by the lectures, given by specially invited researchers and clinical specialists. The course does not appear the same from year to year, as new topics may be added and other fall away. Consequently, there is no book covering the entire course. In a few cases, the lecturer may give out handouts, but normally the student must rely on his or her own notes.

Lectures in Swedish during evening time at LTH.
The course is also given at first cycle level with course code: BMEA01
