Knowledge and ability to understand: at the end of the fourth year of the course, the student should have consolidated the knowledge of ITEMS achieved in previous years

Applied knowledge and ability to understand: at the end of the fourth year of the course the student should be able to relate to the person being cared for considering the physical, psychological and social aspects in interaction with the environment around them, be able to identify basic needs and prepare a personalized care plan to cope with them, know how to measure vital parameters. He/she will need to be able to approach the initial assessment of the patient also of specialist expertise (from both the Medical and Surgical areas) through semeiotics, clinical methodology, specialist instrumental diagnostics, laboratory, anatomo-isto pathology and radiology. He/she should also be able to render aid in cardio-respiratory arrest (BLS-D) and prepare major medical certifications/notifications/reports

Autonomy of judgment and communication skills: in addition to knowledge and understandings of topics for their clinical application, the internship aims to develop students' autonomy of judgment, communication skills, and ability to learn.

clinical knowledge acquired in the previous years

It deals with practical activities carried out in the wards.
The program focuses on the following: 1) Development of knowledge required for initial patient assessment: semeiotics, clinical methodology, instrumental diagnostics
specialty, laboratory, anatomic-histopathology and radiology, 2) BLS-D, 3) medical certifications/notifications/referrals

The internship refers to practical activity. Books suggested for the courses of the IV year (see in the Syllabus the books suggested for each course) may be useful

Anatomic-histopathologic and radiology diagnostics.
BLS-D.
Medical certifications/notifications/referrals.

Practical activity with discussion of clinical cases followed in the departments of the Medical and Surgical area, including specialized ones.

-

Oral exam: discussion of a clinical case with open-ended test questions aimed at assessing the student's knowledge and reasoning ability. The exam will last about 20 minutes with approximately two or more questions.
The evaluation is expressed in judgments (excellent, distinguished, good, fair, sufficient, insufficient).
The grading grid adopted is as follows:
-Excellent: very good knowledge of the topics, very good ownership of language, very good analytical ability; the student/ess is able to brilliantly apply theoretical knowledge to concrete cases, in particular is able to optimally apply the knowledge of semeiotics, clinical methodology, specialized instrumental diagnostics, laboratory, anatomo-isto pathology and radiology, forensic medicine and occupational medicine, and BLSD acquired during the course to the clinic.
-Distinct: good knowledge of topics, remarkable language property, good analytical ability; the student/ess is able to correctly apply theoretical knowledge to concrete cases, in particular is able to correctly apply knowledge of semeiotics, clinical methodology, specialized instrumental diagnostics, laboratory, anatomo-isto pathology and radiology, forensic medicine and occupational medicine, and BLSD acquired during the course to the clinic.
-Good: good knowledge of the main topics, fair language property; the student/ess shows adequate ability to apply theoretical knowledge to concrete cases; in particular, he/she is able to apply the knowledge of semeiotics, clinical methodology, specialized instrumental diagnostics, laboratory, anatomo-isto pathology and radiology, forensic and occupational medicine, and BLSD acquired during the course to the clinic.
-Discreet: the student does not show full mastery of the main topics of the teaching, although he/she possesses the fundamental knowledge; however, he/she shows satisfactory language property and sufficient ability to apply theoretical knowledge to concrete cases; in particular, he/she demonstrates sufficient ability to apply the knowledge of semeiotics, clinical methodology, specialized instrumental diagnostics, laboratory, anatomo-isto pathology and radiology, forensic medicine and occupational medicine, and BLSD acquired during the course to the clinic.
-Sufficient: minimal knowledge of main teaching topics and technical language, limited ability to adequately apply theoretical knowledge to concrete cases.
-Insufficient: the student does not possess acceptable content knowledge of the various program topics.
