Lectures and seminars.

This teaching unit consists of 4 credits linked to prof. Steindler lectures and 2 credits to those of prof. Bravar.

Oral test generally dealing with three different topics. The exposition of the learnt concepts should use the right terms, both from a technical and clinical points of view.

This course explores topics closely related to one or more goals of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (SDGs)
