Medical doctors are in need of solid knowledge in the area of Therapeutics. Evidence is in constant shift, the same happening to recommendations. In this light, one of the pillars of this discipline consists in the study of therapeutic recommendations concerning common cardiovascular diseases. The second pillar of this discipline concerns the exceptions to the general rules, and aims at the study of circumstances that may lead to the fact that common recommendations cannot be followed.
Competences: The identification of the main sources of information regarding evidence on cardiovascular therapeutics; to be able to apply a set of recommendations and of therapeutic norms of particular importance in the treatment of common cardiovascular diseases; the identification of circumstances that may limit the application of frequently used norms, setting the stage for therapeutic individualization.Medical doctors are in need of solid knowledge in the area of Therapeutics.
