To recognize conditions that due to the need of diagnosis techniques and/or more specific therapies, should be timely referred to Specialties; 3. To diagnose emergency situations and to know how to initiate the more indicated therapeutic measures; 4. To be familiar, even briefly, with the more rare conditions.
