Main Objectives
The course aims at providing students with theoretical and practical knowledge needed to identify main respiratory diseases and provide evidence-based pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapy.
Expected outcomes: competent and critical knowledge of signs, symptoms, diagnostics and therapy of respiratory diseases.
Traditional lessons will allow students to properly identify and diagnose main respiratory diseases. Practical lessons will provide students with clinical skills needed to understand signs, symptoms and diagnostics of respiratory diseases.

Specific objectives
Knowledge and understanding: passing the exam implies the ability of understanding etiopathogenesis, pathophysiology, genetics and clinical aspects of main respiratory diseases, including gender differences.
Applying knowledge and understanding: passing the exam implies understanding analytical correlation of clinical signs, symptoms and functional abnormalities with respiratory pathophysiology, risk- and cost effectiveness-based selection of respiratory disease diagnostic work-up, interpretation of blood gas analysis, pulmonary function tests, bronchoscopy, biochemical diagnostic tools and imaging of the respiratory system, general concepts of respiratory pathology, respiratory drugs and therapeutic indications according to main European guidelines, non-pharmacological treatment of respiratory diseases and main respiratory diseases surgery 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 in cardiovascular medicine.

demonstrate knowledge and understanding that extend and/or reinforce those typically associated with the first cycle and allow for the elaboration and/or application of original ideas, often in a research context.
solve problems in new or unfamiliar fields, placed in broader (or interdisciplinary) contexts, related to the respective field of study.
integrate knowledge and manage complexity; formulate judgments even in the presence of limited or incomplete information; reflect on the social and ethical responsibilities associated with the application of certain knowledge and judgments.
communicate knowledge by being able to illustrate the processes that led to their acquisition to specialist and non-specialist interlocutors.
study in a self-directed or autonomous way, being able to anticipate new and unforeseen developments of the discipline of specialization. Being able to conceive and develop a project, bringing it to fruition successfully, within the set time limits.

It appears USEFUL and important to have basic knowledge of the anatomy of the respiratory system and the physiological mechanisms that regulate breathing.

Frontal lessons will be held, for some courses practical exercises in the department and in the laboratories of respiratory physiopathology and thoracic endoscopy

You must attend at least 80% of the scheduled lessons. Attendance will be noted by signing.

Oral exam to evaluate the knowledge acquired

To pass the exam, the student must obtain a mark of at least 18/30. The student must demonstrate that he has acquired sufficient knowledge of the topics of the respiratory system diseases analyzed during the lessons. To obtain the score of 30/30 cum laude, the student must demonstrate an excellent knowledge of all the topics covered.
