Learning Outcomes
Know the main surgical pathologies and the main pathologies affecting the musculoskeletal system and related diagnostic-therapeutic algorithms.
Prerequisites
Ii is necessary to have passed the pathological anatomy exam and have
acquired basic notions of histology, anatomy, biochemistry, physiology and
radiolog
Teaching Methods
Lectures with slide projection.
Assessment Methods
Learning is assessed by oral examination. Each candidate will be asked
several questions that may relate to all the topics included in the
educational program with a prevalent focus on the topics covered in the
lectures Each of the 2 teachers of the Integrated Course will ask
questions relating to their teaching and propose a mark out of thirty from
which the overall grade will be 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 grade is 18 or higher. The
assignment of the highest marks with honors (30 with honors) is
envisaged.
