Course info
The course entails 360 credits in total, distributed in the six course years, of which at least 60 (professionalizing credits) should be acquired in educational activities aiming at the maturation of specific skills. Each credit corresponds to 25 hours, of which normally: 10 hours of lectures. Each professionalizing credit corresponds to 25 hours of student work, including 20 hours of professionalizing work, in small groups, under the guidance of a professor within the course facilities or covenant regional territorial facilities SPECIFIC MISSION OF THE ONE-CYCLE DEGREE COURSE The specific mission of the one-cycle Degree Course is training a medical professional with a biomedical-psycho-social culture, aiming to the actual development of the "professional competence" and "values of professionalism." It is based on the importance of integrating the biomedical paradigm of "curing the disease" with the psychosocial paradigm of "taking care of the human being", in the meta-paradigm of the "complexity of care." This particular mission is therefore aimed at training a doctor owning: • a multidisciplinary, integrated and inter-professional vision of the most common problems of health and disease; • an education geared to the prevention of disease and promotion of health within the community and surrounding areas; • a deep understanding of the new needs of care and health, focusing not only on the disease, but, more importantly, on patients, considered as a whole of soma and psyche and placed in a specific social context; SPECIFIC MISSION OF THE ONE-CYCLE DEGREE COURSE The specific mission of the one-cycle Degree Course is training a medical professional with a biomedical-psycho-social culture, aiming to the actual development of the "professional competence" and "values of professionalism." It is based on the importance of integrating the biomedical paradigm of "curing the disease" with the psychosocial paradigm of "taking care of the human being", in the meta-paradigm of the "complexity of care." This particular mission is therefore aimed at training a doctor owning: • a multidisciplinary, integrated and inter-professional vision of the most common problems of health and disease; • an education geared to the prevention of disease and promotion of health within the community and surrounding areas; • a deep understanding of the new needs of care and health, focusing not only on the disease, but, more importantly, on patients, considered as a whole of soma and psyche and placed in a specific social context; THE SPECIFIC EDUCATIONAL PLAN AND THE TEACHING METHOD The teaching methodology, useful to achieve the expected qualification, include the horizontal and vertical integration of competences, a teaching methodology based upon sound cultural and methodological bases obtained through the study of pre-clinical subjects, and later on mostly based on problem solving skills, on the early contact with the patient, on the acquisition of good clinical skill together with the ability to human contact. The educational project of the Degree Course provides the right integration balance among: a) core sciences, which should be broad and include the knowledge of evolutionary biology, molecular biology and genetics and of biological complexity aimed at understanding the structure and function of the human organism under normal conditions for the preservation of health, and to the correct application of scientific research; b) The knowledge of disease processes and of the mechanisms that cause them, in order to define prevention, diagnosis and treatment; c) clinical and methodological medical practice, which must be particularly strong, through the extensive use of tutorial teaching , transforming the theoretical knowledge in personal experience to build one’s own scale of values and interests, and to acquire the professional skills useful to manage the complexity of medicine; d) social sciences, which should be a useful tool to reach the awareness of being a medical doctor and of the values of the medical profession. e) the acquisition of scientific, medical, clinical and professional methodology for individual or collective health issues. The expected learning outcomes are defined through the integration between the European descriptors (5 Dublin descriptors) with the proposals of the Institute for International Medical Education (IIME), Task Force for Assessment, and of “The TUNING Project (Medicine) – Learning Outcomes/Competences for Undergraduate Medical Education in Europe”. The learning objectives for the Degree course in Medicine and Surgery and allocated to the various methodological skills defined by Ministerial Decree 16/03/2007, Art. 3 Paragraph 7 and required for graduates of this course are also consistent with what is indicated by the Core curriculum for the Degree Course in Medicine as proposed by the Conference of Presidents of the Italian CdLM.
Profile: Medical Doctor Functions: • Treatment of the most common and widespread dysfunctions, diseases and injuries in the population; • implementation of measures for the early detection of serious diseases in patients at risk; • prescription of drugs and non-pharmacological therapies, clinical tests for diagnosis, hospital admissions and specialist examinations; • follow-up of the course of diseases and related treatments; • promotion and implementation of prevention actions towards patients or in the organizations. Skills: General pratictioner replacement of general practitioners emergency medical Service health officer Professional opportunities: Graduates in medicine and surgery who have also passed the state examination for professional qualification may find professional opportunities in: Universities and Research Centers; Hospitals and Specialist Centers of the National Healthcare System; Public and private clinics National and international healthcare and humanitarian organizations. The single-cycle degree is also a requirement for admission to medical graduate schools
To be admitted to the final examination, students must have acquired, all the credits related to the teachings of the educational programme, except the credits assigned to the final examination, which will be acquired with the latter. The final examination consists of both in the presentation of a thesis, written in an original way, aiming at ascertaining the level of scientific, technical and professional competence achieved, and in the discussion of possible questions posed by members of the Board. The final mark, expressed out of 110, is determined by the average of the marks obtained in the teachings examinations, the assessment of the discussed dissertation, and the assessment of any other activities, in the manner established by the Board of the Degree Course.
