At the end of the course the student will have to demonstrate that he has acquired the theoretical knowledge concerning the anatomy and pathophysiology of the arterial and venous system, the diagnostic modalities of arterial and venous pathologies, the etiopathogenesis and the treatment of pathological conditions in vascular surgery. With reference to the Dublin indicators: D1 Knowledge and understanding: learn the theoretical bases regarding the pathophysiology, diagnosis and therapy of the main arterial and venous diseases. D2 Applied knowledge and understanding: knowing how to recognize the main indications and contraindications, as well as the relative advantages and disadvantages, of the main therapeutic methods used for the treatment of arterial and venous diseases. D3 Making judgments: be able to formulate a rational diagnostic-therapeutic plan for the main arterial and venous diseases. D4 Communication skills: be able to communicate key clinical details with appropriate medical terminology. D5 Learning skills: being able to integrate new knowledge acquired with that already possessed in a coherent way.

N/A

Oral and/or written examination. The assessment relating to this module takes place with a specific oral exam relating only to the topics of the module in question, i.e. Vascular and Endovascular Surgery. The exam grade is then weighed together with that of the other modules making up the integrated course. The questions asked during the test are open questions, regarding the theory and, where deemed appropriate, the discussion of clinical cases. There are no practical tests for verification. To pass the test with the maximum mark, the student must demonstrate excellent mastery of the specific topics of the subject, know how to integrate them with the knowledge that is a prerequisite for the subject itself, and know how to contextualize them in the clinical approach in an adequate way. The grade is recorded using the "Partial tests" IT tool provided by the Esse3 platform and subsequently recorded in a single final exam in which the Commission proceeds to verify the overall results of the integrated teaching and record it. The grade of the partial test is expressed in thirtieths with possible honours, based on the parameters listed below. Score 29-30 cum laude: the student has an IN-DEPTH knowledge of the subject, has excellent communication skills and masters medical-scientific language. Score 26-28: the student has a GOOD knowledge of the subject and explains the topics clearly using appropriate medical-scientific language; Score 22-25: the student has a DISCRETE knowledge of the subject, even if limited to the main topics and explains the topics quite clearly with a reasonable command of language; Score 18-21: the student has the MINIMUM knowledge of the subject and explains the topics clearly enough although the language skills are poorly developed; Exam not passed: the student DOES NOT HAVE THE MINIMUM KNOWLEDGE required of the main contents of the course. The ability to use specific language is very poor or non-existent and he is unable to apply the knowledge acquired independently.

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