Medicine and Surgery

Main Objectives The course aims at providing students with theoretical and practical knowledge needed to identify main haematopoietic system diseases and provide evidence-based pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapy. Expected outcomes: competent and critical knowledge of signs, symptoms, diagnostics and therapy of haematopoietic system diseases. Traditional lessons will allow students to properly identify and diagnose main haematopoietic system diseases. Practical lessons will provide students with clinical skills needed to understand signs, symptoms and diagnostics of haematopoietic system diseases. Specific objectives Knowledge and understanding: passing the exam implies the ability of understanding etiopathogenesis, pathophysiology, genetics and clinical aspects of main haematopoietic system diseases. Applying knowledge and understanding: passing the exam implies understanding analytical correlation of clinical signs, symptoms and functional abnormalities with haematopoietic system pathophysiology, risk- and cost effectiveness-based selection of haematopoietic diagnostic work-up, biochemical diagnostic tools and imaging of the haematopoietic system, general concepts of haematopoietic system pathology, related drugs and therapeutic indications according to main European guidelines, non-pharmacological treatment of haematopoietic diseases and main haematopoietic system specific procedures. Making judgment: passing the exam implies the ability of appropriately judging and putting in context medical history, signs and symptoms for appropriate diagnostic work-up and therapy. Communication skills: passing the exam implies mastering the ability to expose clinical reasoning and decision-making from signs and symptoms collection to appropriate diagnosis and therapy. Learning skills: passing the exam implies mastering the ability to learn the rational basis of differential diagnosis.
