Module Manager: Prof. Dr. med. Holger Dressel and PD Dr. Thomas Radtke

Occupational diseases have a large variety of phenotypes and sometimes only become apparent several decades after actual exposure. In other cases, the  association between work-related exposure and the development of clinical symptoms and diseases is not obvious at first glance. In this module, students learn about important occupational diseases and how to diagnose them. There will be practical elements in the module, e.g. a workplace visit. Emerging topics will be 
discussed. 

Upon completion, students will be able to:
– Diagnose frequent occupational diseases

diseases and work-related health problems
– Deal with complex cases concerning occupational 
diseases and work-related health problems of 
individuals and groups
