The course gives you the opportunity to learn about some of the most prevalent diseases in society (common diseases) and diseases of particular relevance to healthcare providers.
The course consists of 100 hours of study and is offered as E-learning, where the student studies according to a guided plan for each topic.
In parallel, personal assistance from the instructor is offered via the AM Academy Intranet and an e-learning forum is held once a month where the instructor offers help at AM Academy.

Pathology (the study of diseases) and pharmacology are divided into topics according to which organ system the diseases belong to. Each subject ends with a short subject test, which must be completed and passed before the student can register for the exam. The test consists of 10-20 questions on the topic in question and is time-limited.
The course ends with a written attendance exam held at AM Academy. It will consist of short answer and multiple choice questions.

The course is based on the 3rd edition of the book “Hånden På Hjertet – Sygdomslære” by Arne Lykke Viborg and Annette Walsøe Torup. When you buy the book, you also get a code for an i-book version of the book, which provides great opportunities to read on the go.

E-learning forum should serve as an opportunity for sparring with the other students and help with the topics. It is also possible to talk to other students about reading and note-taking techniques or spend time reading or doing a topic test if you want some peace and quiet.
It is emphasized that this is not necessarily a class and that attendance is not mandatory. It may be necessary for students to inform the teacher about the topics they would like help with in advance, so that the teacher can be as prepared as possible and possibly prepare an actual lesson in a desired topic.
