De Toma, Bellantone, Montorsi CHIRUGIA GENERALE edizioni Minerva Medica

Know the main surgical pathologies, the main pathologies affecting the musculoskeletal system, the main pathologies affecting the urinary system and related diagnostic-therapeutic algorithms

It is necessary to have passed the pathological anatomy exam and have acquired basic knowledge of histology, anatomy, biochemistry, physiology and radiology

Frontal lessons with slide projection

The course is associated to a clinical ward internship

Learning is assessed through oral exams. Each candidate will be asked several questions that may cover all the topics covered in the curriculum, with a primary focus on the topics covered during lectures. Each of the three instructors of the Integrated Course will ask questions related to their own teaching and propose a grade out of 30, which will result in the overall grade. This grade is expressed as a weighted average, with a final evaluation shared jointly by the instructors of the individual modules, taking into account the level of learning ability, communication and presentation skills, and mastery of appropriate vocabulary. The exam is considered passed when the final grade is 18 or higher. The maximum grade with honors (30 cum laude) is awarded.

Expected outcomes The expected learning outcomes are consistent with the general provisions found within the European Qualifications Framework (Dublin descriptors), as follows: Evaluate the physiological principles governing the function of major body systems and the alterations induced by functional and structural abnormalities. Describe the main signs and symptoms associated with specific clinical disorders and provide an adequate explanation of the underlying causes. Knowledge of surgical, orthopedic, and urological diseases affecting the various systems. Knowledge of the necessary clinical and surgical methodology to address the main surgical, orthopedic, and urological diseases. Ability to conduct a reasoned clinical examination to formulate a diagnostic hypothesis and prescribe appropriate instrumental tests. Ability to assess the severity, treatment, and prognosis of general, orthopedic, and urological surgery injuries.
