The questions will focus on the program carried out and will be theoretical. In order to pass the exam the student will have to demonstrate to have acquired knowledge and understanding of clinical features and treatment of the principal psychiatric disorders, and of organization and legislation of mental health assistance. The exam will be carried out only in the form of an integrated exam (the only exam for the Nervous System Diseases and Psychiatry Course) with 106 multiple choice questions with four answers of which only one is correct. The task consists of 106 questions; the questions will be divided proportionally to the CFU of the individual modules as follows: Neurology N=52; Psychiatry and Clinical Psychology N=40; Child Neuropsychiatry N=14. The vote will thus be calibrated in thirtieths, transformed proportionally with respect to the maximum total of answers which are 106. The written exam will not give access to any optional oral exam: therefore the only option for the student who is not satisfied with the grade received in the written exam is to repeat the written exam in the next exam session. Duration of the written exam: 1 hour and 45 minutes.

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