Syllabus

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: Gain knowledge of the basic theory of plastic and reconstructive surgery. Furthermore, acquire adequate biomedical terminology.
ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: being able to apply the acquired knowledge, as a solid foundation for understanding the basic techniques of plastic and reconstructive surgery.
MAKING JUDGMENTS: acquire an adequate capacity for critical elaboration to discriminate the various pathologies inherent in plastic and reconstructive surgery.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS: the acquisition of adequate biomedical terminology is essential for interfacing within the biomedical scientific community between colleagues and patients.
LEARNING SKILLS: the study of Plastic Surgery is essential for the study of related disciplines (in particular, General Surgery, Orthopedics, Dermatology).

To attend this course, with advantages, the student must have the basic knowledge of histology, anatomy, physiology and pathology.

Through an oral exam with an open question lasting about 15-20 minutes. Through the interview, on one of the topics of the program, the student's ability to identify the main clinical manifestations of pathologies of surgical interest, knowledge and understanding of the therapeutic diagnostic procedure will be verified. The evaluation grid adopted is the following: - Excellent (30 - 30 cum laude): excellent knowledge of the topics, excellent language skills, excellent analytical skills; the student is able to brilliantly apply theoretical knowledge to concrete cases. - Very good (27 - 29): good knowledge of the topics, remarkable language skills, good analytical skills; the student is able to correctly apply theoretical knowledge to concrete cases. - Good (24-26): good knowledge of the main topics, good command of the language; the student shows an adequate ability to apply theoretical knowledge to concrete cases. - Satisfactory (21-23): the student does not show full mastery of the main subjects of the teaching, even if he/she possesses the fundamental knowledge; however, he shows satisfactory language skills and sufficient ability to apply theoretical knowledge to concrete cases. - Sufficient (18-20): minimal knowledge of the main teaching topics and technical language, limited ability to adequately apply theoretical knowledge to concrete cases. - Insufficient: the student does not have an acceptable knowledge of the contents of the various topics of the programme

This course explores topics closely related to one or more goals of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (SDGs)
