Ateneo - UPO

The course aims to continue the study and learning process of surgical diseases with the aim of leading the student to a direct, often multidisciplinary, clinical approach, with a view to being able to set up a diagnostic-therapeutic program according to current knowledge, current clinical practice and when available current guidelines. Great importance is placed on the differential diagnosis and on the surgical treatment path.
