To be able to perform a complete medical examination.
To know the dimension of a disease phenomenon, its profile, its physiognomy, its physiopathological aspects, in the way and in the form in which it really presents to healthcare operators by means of a deductive clinical approach based on the analysis of the problems, the individualization of the priorities and the sifter of the diagnostic hypotheses.
To know the physical and instrumental examinations and the laboratory tests with the main objective of a correct methodological and diagnostic itinerary for the diseases of: Hematopoietic apparatus, Respiratory apparatus, Cardiovascular apparatus, Digestive apparatus, Genitourinary apparatus, Endocrine apparatus, Muscular and Skeletal apparatus, Nervous system.

Specific Objectives of the integrated course
