Learning Outcomes
Knowledge of the main pathologies of the digestive system, ability to
conduct a reasoned clinical examination in order to formulate a
diagnostic hypothesis and prescribe the appropriate instrumental
investigations
Prerequisites
Students must have passed the Surgical Pathology exam and have
acquired basic knowledge of Histology, Anatomy, Biochemistry,
Physiology and Radiology.
Teaching Methods
Frontal lessons with slide presentation
Additional Information
The course is associated with clinical internship in the department
Assessment Methods
Learning is assessed through an oral exam. Each candidate will be asked
several questions that may concern all the topics included in the
educational program with prevailing attention to the topics covered in the
lectures Each of the teachers of the Integrated Course will ask questions
relating to their teaching. and will propose a mark out of thirty from
which the overall mark is out of thirty, expression of a weighted average
with a final evaluation shared by the teachers of the individual modules.
The exam is passed when the final mark is 18 or higher. The assignment
of the highest marks with honors (30 with honors) is envisaged.

Expected Learning Outcomes
The expected learning outcomes are consistent with the general
provisions found within the European Qualifications Framework (Dublin
descriptors) as follows: Assess the physiological principles governing the
function of main body systems and alterations induced by functional
abnormalities and structural. Describe the main signs and symptoms
associated with specific clinical disorders and provide an adequate
explanation of the underlying reasons. Know the diseases of surgical
interest affecting the different systems. Know the necessary clinical and
surgical methodology to deal with the main pathologies of surgical
interest. The student is also required to be able to put correct therapeutic
indications, to be generically oriented on the most common surgical
techniques, on surgical "timing" and on prognosis, taking into account the
psychophysical and social characteristics of the patient. An adequate
knowledge of the problems relating to the pre- and post-operative
periods is also required, related to both small, medium and high surgery
interventions. health care both for their incidence and for the
repercussions on the quality of life of patients Understanding the
etiopathogenetic and pathophysiological mechanisms of these
pathologies by describing the diagnostic and therapeutic pathways on the
basis of a reasoned and critical elaboration of the clinical, functional,
laboratory and diagnostic imaging, which take into account the possible
differential diagnoses and the risk / benefit and cost / benefit ratios.
Learn the indication for the main instrumental and laboratory tests of
surgical interest. Know the preventive strategies and the possible
evolutions and prognostic implications of the main surgical pathologies.
