lessons and seminars

final oral examen: clinical discussion about a case, going deeply from the case to theory. It consists of an interview starting from a clinical case, an urgent or elective clinical situation, in the simulation of an interview with a patient or his family, then deepening pathology and therapeutic choices even with different cases, trying to stimulate the transversality of the topics. The final evaluation is out of thirty, with a weighted average of the previous exams of the integrated course. In essence, it is also a global review of the entire integrated course, in terms of knowing how to be and knowing how to do.

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