Educational objectives | Student completing the course will demonstrate knowledge of: -i key pathophysiological elements that generate disability cardiorespiratory -the common mode of clinical presentation of cardiorespiratory disease -the terms of clinical and instrumental evaluation of its disability The student must also demonstrate an ability to: -recognize cardiorespiratory symptoms and clinical signs related (also instrumental) |
Prerequisites | In order to understand and apply the knowledge acquired during the course of teaching, the student must know the fundamentals of cardiorespiratory physipathology. |
Teaching methods | The course consists of lectures characterized by constant dialogue between teacher and students to check their level of understanding and frequent references to clinical examples practices. |
Other information | Is recommended to attend the course. |
Learning verification modality | The test is an oral examination lasting about 20 minutes aimed at verifying the acquisition of knowledge and skills in the program. The student will also be able to properly organize the exhibition content using appropriately technical terminology. |
