Knowledge and understanding: - To know the fundamentals about the most important orthopedic pathologies and musculoskeletal trauma in the pediatric and adult patient, from diagnosis to treatment and eventual complications. The student will have to demonstrate the ability to define a rehabilitation program for the main musculoskeletal disorders of a traumatic, degenerative-inflammatory, oncological, infectious nature.
Applying knowledge and understanding: - to be able to apply to clinical practice, through the analysis of clinical cases, the acquired knowledge
Making judgements: - to be able to define the severity and the medical doctor role in orthopedic or trauma pediatric and adult cases and act accordingly in clinical practice. To be able to define a congruent rehabilitation program for the main musculoskeletal disorders of a traumatic, degenerative-inflammatory, oncological, infectious nature.
Communication skills: - to be able to clearly and synthetically communicate, especially with patients, the course arguments
Learning skills: - to be able to integrate the acquired knowledge with other didactic acquirements

Knowledge about musculoskeletal anatomy, nervous and vascular system, physics, physiology, general pathology
