The course aims to provide a solid scientific foundation on the principles, applications, strengths, and limitations of Diagnostic Imaging, across its various modalities, in order to understand its clinical significance and usefulness for patients, with particular attention to the potential risks associated with its use and to the importance of providing appropriate patient information to promote awareness, trust, and cooperation; in parallel, the Internal Medicine course seeks to systematically address the most common and clinically relevant diseases, fostering an integrated diagnostic approach based on clinical reasoning and comprehensive patient management; finally, the Clinical Pharmacology component aims to develop knowledge of the main aspects of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of selected drug classes, drug interactions, and adverse reactions, as well as the foundations of personalized therapy, in order to ensure the effective, safe, and appropriate use of pharmacological treatments in clinical practice.
Course Prerequisites
The course does not require any prerequisites.
Assessment Methods
Assessment of learning consists of a written examination with multiple-choice questions in Internal Medicine and two separate oral examinations, respectively in Pharmacology and Diagnostic Imaging, aimed at evaluating both mastery of disciplinary content and the ability to integrate clinical knowledge and present critical reasoning. Please note that the final grade is a single mark and is calculated as the arithmetic average of the grades obtained in the three examination components.
