Systemic manifestations of skin diseases. Dermato-logical emergencies. General venereology. Syphilis, gonorrhea, chancroid, granuloma inguinale, lymphogranuloma venereum, genital warts. Cutaneous manifestations of HIV infection. Genital ulcer disease.

Teaching mode and outcomes: The course takes place in conjunction with clinical practice in small groups of students. The students are fully integrated in the operation of the clinic (outpatients, inpatients, specialized clinics). They acquire the essential theoretical background and practical skills in clinical dermatology by training under the instruction of faculty members. By completing the course the students must be able to recognize/diagnose (and propose treatment plans for) the most frequent pathological conditions of the integumentary system and the common venereal diseases.
