Learning outcomes
Knowledge and Understanding:
By the end of the course, students should have acquired knowledge and understanding of the etiology, pathogenesis, pathophysiology, and clinical aspects of the diseases covered in the various modules of the integrated course, applying this knowledge to the medical-scientific reasoning that leads to the diagnostic process and the application of therapeutic protocols.
Communication Skills:
Students should be able to effectively communicate the principles and concepts learned, including through appropriate medical-scientific language, and be able to discuss and present the knowledge acquired in a clear and structured manner.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of the anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology of the organs/systems covered in the Integrated Course (cardiovascular and thoracic/pulmonary systems)
