Knowledge and understanding
By the end of the course, the student must have acquired a good knowledge of the female reproductive system patho-physiology, during and outside of pregnancy, and the male genito-urinary system patho-physiology.

Applying knowledge and understanding
By the end of the course, the student must be able to apply their knowledge of patho-physiology to understand the main complications of pregnancy, the major disorders of the female reproductive and male genito-urinary system, and to identify their best diagnostic and therapeutic management.

Making judgement
By the end of the course, the student must be able to use the acquired knowledge
- to provide counselling on sexual and reproductive health, and on family planning
- to provide information on the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases, infertility and gynecologic and male genitourinary tumours
- to diagnose the major gynecologic and urologic disorders
- to identify gynecologic and urologic emergencies
- to assess the appropriate evaluation and treatment in infertile couples.

Communication skills
By the end of the course, the student should be able to correctly communicate the diagnostic and therapeutic conclusions of the various clinical situations both to patients and colleagues. They should be able to provide correct counseling for the most frequent clinical cases.

Learning skills
By the end of the course, the student must have acquired the necessary skills to study in a largely self-managed and autonomous way and to deepen the various topics of obstetrics, gynecology and urology.

Advanced knowledge on human anatomy and patho-physiology

course of diseases of the urogenital system aims to treat the physiology of the female genital system, its transformations during pregnancy and childbirth and any complications of gestation. Furthermore, it aims to make people understand the pathogenetic mechanisms with which the main female and male genital pathologies develop, their prevalence in the population, the possibilities of prevention, diagnosis and treatment, as well as how human reproduction can alter and establish a condition of infertility and what are the opportunities and limits of assisted reproduction procedures. The course also includes discussion of the methods that women and men can use for birth control.

The evaluation of the student includes two oral partial tests in which three open questions or clinical cases from the obstetric and gynaecological field and three open questions or clinical cases from the urological field are proposed. The student must demonstrate that he/she is able to describe the etio-pathogenesis, diagnostic and therapeutic course of the pathology in question and/or indicate prevention and follow-up strategies. The examination is based on the entire course programme. It lasts approximately 20-25 minutes. The grade is expressed in thirtieths.
The grading grid adopted is as follows:
- Excellent (30 - 30 cum laude): the student shows excellent knowledge of the topics, very good ownership of language, excellent analytical ability; the student is able to brilliantly apply theoretical knowledge to concrete cases.
- Very good (27 - 29): the student shows good knowledge of the topics, remarkable ownership of language, good analytical ability; the student is able to correctly apply theoretical knowledge to concrete cases.
- Good (24-26): the student shows good knowledge of the main topics, discrete properties of 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 topics of the teaching, even though he/she possesses the fundamental knowledge; however, he/she shows satisfactory properties of language and sufficient ability to apply theoretical knowledge to concrete cases.
- Sufficient (18-20): the student shows minimal knowledge of the main topics of the teaching and of the technical language, limited ability to apply theoretical knowledge adequately to concrete cases.
- Insufficient: the student does not possess acceptable knowledge of the content of the various topics of the syllabus.

In order to pass the examination relating to the teaching, the student must obtain a mark of ≥ 18 in each of the partial examinations; he/she may not reject the result of the partial examination, but only the mark for the entire integrated course, in which case he/she must repeat all the partial examinations.
The student must register for the online roll call of the partial examination in ESSE3. The grade for the partial examination is valid until the extraordinary session of the academic year in question.
The final examination grade for the integrated course, expressed in thirtieths, is derived from the weighted average, thus weighted on the CFUs of each module, obtained in the individual partial examinations.
The course has 8 credits, 5 for the gynaecology and obstetrics module and 3 for the urology module.
Therefore, the gynaecology and obstetrics module contributes 62.5 % to the final grade and the urology module contributes 37.5 %. For the purposes of defining the average, any honours obtained in the partial examinations will be given the value of 1 point, i.e. a mark of 30 cum laude in the partial examinations corresponds numerically to a mark of 31. In order to award honours to the final examination mark, it will be necessary for the weighted average obtained by the student in the partial examinations for the various modules to be >30.5.

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