Medicine and Surgery HT

The internship aims to enable the student to apply the theoretical knowledge acquired during the Degree Course, while developing clinical skills and medical reasoning abilities. During the internship, the student will: Participate in clinical activities within Internal Medicine wards and related specialties (Cardiology, Pulmonology, Nephrology, Gastroenterology, Endocrinology, Rheumatology). Perform medical history taking, physical examination, and clinical data collection under the supervision of a clinical tutor. Address the main diagnostic and therapeutic pathways of the most frequent internal medicine conditions (e.g. febrile syndromes, chest pain, dyspnea, anemia, heart failure, renal failure, diabetes mellitus, COPD, pneumonia, autoimmune diseases). Take part in clinical briefings, case discussions, and ward activities, working in close collaboration with the multidisciplinary healthcare team. Develop communication skills in the doctor–patient relationship and the ability to present and discuss clinical cases. The internship concludes with a pass/fail evaluation, based on attendance, active participation, acquisition of practical skills, and the ability to discuss a clinical case.

The practical training (TPV) can be attended not before the fifth year of the course and after having passed all the fundamental exams of first four years. The TPV is organized according to the laws and educational regulations of each study course.

Clinical training in hospital and outpatient settings related to internal medicine

Main Teaching Objectives: The course is organised in professional activity, aimed towards the student acquiring a diagnostic methodology (clinical, in the laboratory and instrumental) and subsequently to recognize therapeutic indications. Bearing this in mind the discussion of clinical cases and video projections are fundamental in the student’spractical professional activity. The following principal clinical symptoms of interest to doctors and surgeons are dealt with: dysfagia, vomiting, abdominal pain , thoracic pain, alterations of the alvus, icteri, arterial hypertension, tumefaction, anemic syndromes, dyspnea. During the course particular attention is paid to the main geriatric syndromes and the evaluation of surgical risk in geriatrics. Multi Dimensional evaluation (VMD) and predictive medicine will be dealt with. Common symptoms in geriatric practice will be dealt with, such as the following: bedsores, senile malnutrition, osteoporosis, urinary incontinence, dementia, acute confusional states and the “case management” of the healthy elderly patient and risk of disability. At the end of the course the student must be able to make a decision aimed towards therapeutic ends in pathologies of statistical importance. The student will also have acquired general knowledge about intensive therapy, enteral and parenteral nutrition, transfusions, obvious and concealed hemorrhage, and, as far as the surgical patient is concerned, to prepare him for the operation, and to deal with post-operative complications, paying particular attention to infection and antibiotic treatment.

The student must have completed integrated clinics and internal medicine 1-2 as well as pharmacology, pathological anatomy and laboratory medicine
