THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODELING

Course objectives

General teaching objectives The general objective of the Course is to provide the cognitive instruments and the methodology for a correct approach towards infective pathology and human reproduction. In particular: a pathogenetic approach with specific reference to notions of epidemiology, microbiology, general pathology, immunology and endocrinology already known by the student; a clinical approach that facilitates the connection with other subjects of the Course is required and enables the student to acquire behavioural methodology in the clinical environment; a logical, reasoned therapeutic approach towards confirmed or presumed etiology; an individual and collective approach towards preventative medicine. The course is divided into lessons in class and interactive lessons with the help of didactic instruments aimed towards permitting the student to carry out both a clinical and a laboratory diagnostic course of human reproduction and of the most common infective forms of disease and to formulate antibiotic therapy, general medical treatment as well as using prophylaxis and providing the necessary Public Health requirements.
