Training objectives

------------------------------------------------------------
Modulo: 015434/4 - DIAGNOSTICA CHIMICO-CLINICA
------------------------------------------------------------
CHEMICAL AND CLINICAL DIAGNOSTICS
The course will be aimed at conveying basic knowledge of fundamental aspects of cardiovascular, digestive and renal physiopathology and the associated laboratory features.

------------------------------------------------------------
Modulo: 23814 - FARMACOLOGIA
------------------------------------------------------------
The main training objective concerns the understanding of the fundamental principles of general pharmacology. The student will acquire knowledge on the concepts of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics that underlie the therapeutic effects of drugs. The student will therefore be able to understand the variables that affect both the movement of drugs within the organism and their mechanism of action at the molecular and cellular level. At the end of the course, the student will acquire the basic terminology to describe the effects of drugs and the rational basis of drug therapy. The student will also acquire the basic knowledge of some specific classes of drugs, understanding the general concepts that characterize their mechanism of action.

------------------------------------------------------------

Learning assessment procedures

CHEMICAL AND CLINICAL DIAGNOSTICS
The final exam consists of an oral examination, that consists on average of 2 questions about the topics in the course program. The average duration is 15 to 20 minutes. The final grade is made by evaluating the clarity of explanation, the ability to link, rigor and communication skills of the student. To pass this test it is required to get at least 18 points out of 30.
PHARMACOLOGY
Oral exam aimed at verifying the preparation of the student on the pharmacology concepts, the reasoning skills and the acquisition of a correct terminology. The exam will consist of 3 questions, one on pharmacokinetics, one on pharmacodynamics and one on special pharmacology. Each answer will be given a score between 0 and 10. To pass the exam it is necessary to obtain a minimum score of 18.
ORAL DISEAS
Written exam: test with multiple choice. 30 questions with 4 different answers to select. Test will take 60 minutes. Score 1 will be assigned to every right answer. Score 0 will be assigned to wrong or no answer. You need at least score 18 to pass the exam.
The final grade is a weighted average of the marks obtained in each of the three exams.
