The aim of this subject is to prepare the student to understand the basis of diseases that are commonly found in the ear and in particular the reasons for a patient having a hearing and/or balance disorder. The knowledge the students have gained about the structure and function of the ear will be built on, and this will be integrated with the impact of the different types of pathology on the patient’s life.
The teaching and learning will take place in three ways:
- a series of lectures
- additional information on the Learning Management System (LMS)
- a group project on the diagnosis and management of a pathological condition.
Intended learning outcomes
On the completion of this subject the student should:
- understand the effects of different ear pathologies on the structure and function of the ear; and
- understand the presentations and management of ear conditions.
Generic skills
On completion of this subject students should be able to demonstrate:
• critical thinking, analytical and problem solving skills
• independent learning skills
• the ability to communicate knowledge in both oral and written form
• the ability to work collaboratively and in particular to demonstrate respect for the rights and opinions of others
