Learning Objectives

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY, SEMEIOTICS AND MEDICAL METHODOLOGY
Provide the student with the means to acquire a correct method of approach to the patient suffering from the main pathologies and/or syndromes of medical interest, basing the reasoning on scientific evidence and using in a rational and critical way the information gathered with the anamnesis and the physical examination. At the end of the course the students must have acquired the ability: a) to collect the medical history data correctly, b) to perform appropriately both the general and specific physical examination for the different organs and systems, c) to correlate the clinical data with the physiopathological bases, and finally, d) to set a correct diagnostic approach through a rational use of clinical and instrumental diagnostic procedures.
FISIOPATOLOGIA, SEMEIOTICA E METODOLOGIA CHIRURGICA
The purpose of the theoretical / practical course will be to train the student in:
- collect general anamnestic information, define symptoms, fill in clinical reports (file etc.);
- to know and perform the semiological maneuvers of the single organs and systems, drawing inspiration from the main pictures of surgical pathology;
- to know the most important alterations of the laboratory parameters and the most common instrumental tests for the study of the main organs and systems of surgical competence.
-interpret the symptoms, clinical signs and laboratory and instrumental findings of the main pictures of surgical pathology in a physiopathological key and start a clinical-diagnostic reasoning;
- to start using the principles of surgical semeiotics and pathophysiology in the diagnostic process of the main surgical diseases.
