Frontal lessons with slide projection

The course is associated to a clinical ward internship.

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.
