In this course, the students are expected to acquire in-depth knowledge of how organs and organ systems function in relation to each other and how pathophysiological processes and medical conditions start and develop. This knowledge forms a necessary basis for the students' ability to observe, assess and identify symptoms in relevant patient groups.

Knowledge about the effects and side effects of drugs and an understanding of pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic principles will help to enable students to administer advanced pharmacological treatments in a professionally sound manner.

Students need knowledge about advanced medical treatment of failure of vital functions in connection with medical and surgical conditions in order to be able to take part in, perform and monitor advanced medical treatment and prevent complications from occurring during treatment.

The immune system of acutely and/or critically ill patients is weakened, leaving them particularly susceptible to nosocomial infections. To be able to care for acutely and/or critically ill patients, the students must acquire in-depth knowledge of the life of microorganisms, their virulence and how infection is transferred, as well as infection prevention work.
