Course content
In semester 2D, the following subject areas are taught: obstetrics and women's diseases, children's diseases, skin diseases/venereal diseases, plastic surgery, rheumatology and infectious diseases.
In connection with the above-mentioned subjects, teaching is given in microbiology, pharmacology, pathology and diagnostic imaging.
All Norwegian students including Norwegian exchange students (not the foreign exchange students) must also during the autumn of the fourth academic year choose a topic for their main thesis, make an agreement with a supervisor and submit a protocol for approval by 31 January of the following semester. See also semester 3A.
In addition, there will be teaching in the longitudinal threads "Scientific competence", "Health promotion and prevention" and "Communication, patient contact and professionalism" which will run from start to finish throughout the entire medical course.
Course MDA4043 is the decentralized variant of course MDT4043. Prerequisites, exam forms and learning objectives are identical, while the learning forms vary.

There are several learning objectives related to the semester subjects. These objectives are available at the "Læringsutbyttedatabasen" at the faculty`s home page.

Teaching in the subject takes place at NTNU Campus Ålesund, Ålesund Hospital and Ålesund Local Medical Center. A very high degree of student activity is planned both in clinical teaching with patients and in theory teaching. The students must come prepared and are assigned to carry out consultations under supervision or to solve theoretical tasks in small groups before they are reviewed in plenary.
