In internal medicine, students of dental medicine learn about diagnostic-therapeutic important internal (internistic) diseases: their clinic, diagnostics and treatment principles.
The aim of dermatovenerology studies is the understanding and knowledge of theoretical basics of skin and sexually transmitted diseases. Students of dental medicine will understand the clinical picture of a patient with skin and sexual diseases in everyday practice. Students will be able to diagnose skin and sexually transmitted diseases in the neck and head area through clinical examination, i.e. simple diagnostic tests. They will gain knowledge of differential diagnostics of these diseases, methods of treatment, prophylaxis and their epidemiology.
Knowledge of etiopathogenesis, clinics, diagnostics and treatment principles of some internal diseases. Intensive medicine and cardiology: heart relaxation, heart rhythm disturbances, rheumatic and infectious endocarditis, acquired heart defects, ischaemic heart disease, arterial hypertension, shock and reanimation.
Angiology: atherosclerosis and vascular damage (disability), venous thrombosis.
Pulmology: bronchitis, asthma, COPD, pneumonia, respiratory tract cancer, pulmonary TB.
Gastroenterology: oesophagitis and gastritis, oesophageal tumours, upper GI peptic ulcers, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver, acute holecystitis and gallstones, obstructive hepatitis.

Haematology: anaemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, acute and chronic leukaemia, thrombocytopenia and drug-induced thrombocytic dysfunction, haemophilia and von Willebrand disease, coagulation disorders due to liver and drug diseases.
Rheumatology: rheumatic fever, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus ertematosis, sclerodermia, Sjögren syndrome, ankylosing spondylitis.
Endocrinology: thyroid diseases, diabetes mellitus, pathophysiology and basic clinical data of other glands with internal secretion.
Dermatovenerological propedeutics, specific treatment of skin diseases, pyoderma, skin tuberculosis, skin and mucosal viruses, dermatomycosis, parasitic skin diseases, sexually transmitted diseases, non-sexual diseases of the external sexual organ, allergic and reactive skin diseases, autoimmune skin diseases, photodermatitis, erythematous dermatitis, diseases of sebaceous glands, genodermatoses, skin tumors, pigmentation disturbances, nail diseases, hair, scalp, diseases of sweat glands, metabolic skin diseases, vasculitis, vein diseases of lower extremities, tropical skin disease, oral cavity disease. The emphasis is on the manifestation of skin diseases on the mucous membranes of the mouth, head and neck.
