Objectives

Learning outcomes:
• To understand and critically discuss medical research articles in English.
• To classify a publication based on its genre, goals, and characteristics.
• To transform a non-linear text (graphs, tables, figures) into a linear text and viceversa.
• To recognize, in a research article, the methodological elements used by the researchers (inclusion and exclusion criteria, sample choice and size, laboratory methods and data management methods).
• To interpret and critically evaluate the medical and scientific value of the data presented based on its statistical soundness.
• To perform researches on biomedical databanks in English (online and on printed journals).
• To communicate in English (oral or written) with the correct register for scientific communications with colleagues or at conferences.

Programme

Module: APPLIED MEDICAL SCIENTIFIC METHODS I - DISEASES OF THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

Internal Medicine – Evidence-based practice in clinical care
1. Frontal lectures (clinical cases) to understand: the concept of different type of prevention; refresh pyramid of evidence-based medicine sources; types of clinical and experimental studies; basic concepts on how to analyze a cardiovascular RCT; discuss how to apply the evidenced based result of a RCT to a clinical case.
2. Students will be asked to read and analyze with the help of a grid:
- a prospective study (selected by the teacher) in order to understand when we could define a factor as prognostic for a certain disease and the clinical significance applied to a particular clinical case
- a cardiovascular RCT selected by the teacher in order to understand the methodology behind an RCT and how to critically analyze methods, results.



Module: APPLIED MEDICAL SCIENTIFIC METHODS I - DISEASES OF THE CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
Contents:
Through the discussion of clinical cases, we will discuss the diagnostic assessment and prognostic stratification of congestive heart failure, acute coronary syndrome and pulmonary embolism.



Module: APPLIED MEDICAL SCIENTIFIC METHODS I - GENERAL SURGERY

Exam mode

Module: APPLIED MEDICAL SCIENTIFIC METHODS I - DISEASES OF THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

The students will have to discuss a clinical case, chosen by the teacher, in terms of definition of prevention and find out the how to identify “evidenced based prognostic” factors for that particular case and disease; identify methodological pitfalls and strength of selected part of a RCT chosen by the teacher. The following evaluation grid will be used:
- Critical understanding of the case (types of prevention, Chronic disease, etc.): max score 4
- Describe methodology for a prognostic factor: max score 4
- Pitfalls and strengths of an RCT: max score 2
