Training objectives
- To provide the medical student with theoretical and practical principles on the management of the neurological patient at the Health District Level. The most relevant care-pathways (percorsi diagnostico-terapeutici assistenziali, PDTA) for neurological diseases will be presented and discussed with examples from the Ferrara health system. Fundamentals of burden-of-disease and cost-of-illness studies in Neurology will be presented aimed to analyse the socio-economic burden of these disorders in the population, and according to a societal perspective. The ultimate aim of the Course is to stimulate the student’s training on the ‘how-to-do’ perspective of the Neurologist at different health care levels.
