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.

Learning outcomes

At the end of the course, students will be able to apply theoretical knowledge to clinical practice in the diagnosis and treatment of metabolic, cardiovascular, surgical and internal diseases.

Prerequisites

The knowledges acquired in Applied Pathology 3
