At the end of the integrated course “Technomedical Methodology”, students will be expected to demonstrate knowledge, skills, and transversal competences in the following areas:

Knowledge and Understanding

Understand the fundamental principles of medical and surgical semiotics, with particular attention to history-taking, general and systematic physical examination, and the correlation between signs, symptoms, and organ-related diseases.

Acquire knowledge of the basic methodologies of clinical research, including observational study designs (cross-sectional, case-control, cohort), as well as the concepts of bias, confounding, measures of association, and confidence intervals.

Develop a foundational understanding of informatics in medicine, including data representation and management, programming principles, and clinical applications of digital systems.

Understand the main themes of medical humanities, including the historical and cultural evolution of the concept of disease, the epistemological paradigms of medicine, and the narrative, social, and ethical dimensions of medical practice.

Applying Knowledge and Understanding

Collect and critically interpret anamnesis and semiotic data in order to formulate coherent and evidence-based diagnostic hypotheses.

Apply principles of clinical reasoning and evidence-based medicine in the discussion and analysis of real or simulated clinical cases.

Read, analyze, and interpret basic scientific articles, identifying their structure, objectives, methodology, and limitations.

Use informatic tools and basic programming skills (Python) for the management and understanding of biomedical data and information systems.

Integrate biomedical, psychological, and social perspectives in patient care, developing a bio-psycho-social and culturally aware vision of medicine.

Making Judgements

Develop critical awareness of the epistemological limits and uncertainties of medical knowledge.

Critically evaluate scientific evidence, recognizing methodological biases, limitations, and the cultural contexts of knowledge production.

Formulate ethically grounded and well-reasoned clinical decisions aimed at promoting patient well-being.

Communication Skills

Communicate effectively with patients using active and inclusive listening techniques, adapting language to the clinical and relational context.

Present clinical reasoning, examination findings, diagnostic hypotheses, and therapeutic decisions clearly and coherently.

Use appropriate scientific and technical terminology in both oral and written communication, including clinical reports and presentations.
