Basic knowledge in biological and medical sciences: Students must have a solid understanding of fundamental concepts in biological and medical disciplines such as anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and pathology. Completion of preclinical courses: Before studying ophthalmology, medical students typically need to complete preclinical courses covering topics such as cellular biology, biochemistry, human anatomy, and physiology. Basic clinical competence: It's important for students to have acquired basic clinical skills, such as approaching patient medical history, conducting physical examinations, and making differential diagnoses, before focusing on ophthalmological practice. Practical experience: Students may be required to complete clinical internships or practical experiences in healthcare settings, where they have the opportunity to work with patients and acquire relevant practical skills. Knowledge of fundamental principles of ophthalmology: Students should be familiar with basic principles related to the anatomy and physiology of the eye, common ophthalmic diseases, diagnostic and therapeutic principles, and ophthalmological surgical procedures. Communication and relational skills: Since communication with patients is a fundamental aspect of ophthalmological practice, students should have developed effective communication skills and the ability to work in multidisciplinary teams.

ORGANI DI SENSO - PATOLOGIE TESTA-COLLO MANUALE PER L'APPROCCIO INTEGRATO ALLE PATOLOGIE TESTA-COLLO - Presentazione di Eugenio GAUDIO POLIMENI ANTONELLA; DE VINCENTIIS MARCO, LAMBIASE ALESSANDRO, VALENTINI VALENTIN

Frontal lessons on Monday from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM.

Oral Examination: Students may be evaluated through an oral examination in which they must demonstrate understanding of theoretical concepts and the ability to apply them to specific clinical situations. During the oral exam, questions may be posed regarding clinical cases, diagnostic procedures, and ophthalmic therapies. Presentation of Clinical Cases: Students may be required to prepare and present clinical cases in which they describe the patient history, physical examination, differential diagnosis, and management plan. The presentation may be followed by questions and discussions with the instructor and/or an examining committee.
