Learning Objectives

Gastroenterology
The student will have to learn the main pathologies of the digestive tract, the liver, the bile ducts and the pancreas.

- The learning of the digestive tract, liver, bile ducts and pancreas pathologies should include:

- knowledge of the basic elements of pathophysiology, etiology, pathogenesis, symptomatology and, above all, imaging diagnostics;

- reasoned knowledge of rationality, economy and risk factors of the various diagnostic options practicable for each single digestive disease.
Surgery of the Digestive Tract and Hepato-Biliary and Pancreatic system
The cours will provide the student the theoretical kwnoledge of the surgical diseases of the gastro-intestinal tract and the hpato-biliary and pancreatic system.

In partcular modern approach to surgical science will be given to the studetns through "up to front" lectures and surgical videos focusing on new developements of surgery.

Last but not least particular emphasis will be posed on the modern tools of learning such as pub med reasearch and multidisciplinary guidelines.

Gastroenterology
The Gastroenterology Course will provide the student with an up-to-date, analytical and rational synthesis of the major digestive, liver, biliary and pancreas diseases related to their etiology, pathogenesis, symptomatology, diagnosis and simple elements of drug therapy. The course also aims to initiate a process of critical maturation of the knowledge of diagnostic options applicable in gastrointestinal diseases. Theoretical knowledge should also be supported by the vision of explanatory iconographic material, typically slides, on Diagnostic Algorithms, Rx images, CT, MR, US and Diagnostic Examinations with Digestive Endoscopy.
