- Educational objectives
- The teaching of Internal Medicine consists of:
1. Internal Medicine 1: Medical Semeiotics Module 1; Medical Semeiotics Module 2; Professional internship in Medical Semeiotics.
2. Internal Medicine 2 - 5th year: Modules 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
3. Internal Medicine 3 - 6th year: Modules 6, 7, 8, 9, 10; Professional Training in Internal Medicine I and II.
The training objectives are:
- a multidisciplinary, interprofessional and integrated vision of the most common problems of health and disease.
- an education oriented towards disease prevention and health promotion within the community and the hospital.
- an in-depth knowledge of the diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms for the main organ and systemic pathologies, as well as the acquisition of diagnostic and therapeutic skills for complex clinical conditions, in order to complete the professional profile as a future doctor (the student must acquire the ability to carry out a differential diagnosis between pathologies starting from symptoms and clinical signs and combining these data with instrumental and laboratory data; the student must acquire the ability to identify the therapy of the main organ and systemic pathologies). - Prerequisites
- The student must:
- have passed the exam in Medical Semeiotics
- know the signs and symptoms of the main diseases learned in Medical Semeiotics and in specialist disciplines. - Teaching methods
- The teaching method adopted, useful for achieving the expected qualifying characteristics, takes advantage of the horizontal and vertical integration of the knowledge acquired in the training course and is mainly centered on the ability to solve problems and make decisions, on early contact with the patient, on the acquisition of a good ability both clinically and in the human relationship with the patient.
This teaching method consists of lectures and professional internships. - Other information

- Learning verification modality
- METHOD OF CONDUCTING THE EXAM: Oral test lasting approximately 15-20 minutes divided into at least 2 questions, 1 of which relating to the diagnosis of internal diseases (see programme) and 1 relating to therapy. A further question on the minimum necessary knowledge may be asked in the event of an unsatisfactory answer to the 2 previous questions.
VERIFICATION OF CLINICAL SKILLS: interpretation of a radiological, instrumental specialist, laboratory report
VERIFICATION OF THE SKILLS ACQUIRED DURING THE INTERNSHIP: description of a technology or diagnostic process relevant to internal medicine
METHOD FOR ALLOCATION OF THE FINAL MARK: arithmetic or weighted average of the marks obtained in the individual disciplines, as established by the degree course - Extended program

The questions can cover various topics related to internal medicine, including symptoms, diagnosis, treatments, medications, and disease management.
Examiners may ask theoretical questions about the diseases and medical conditions covered during the course of Internal Medicine. They may inquire about explaining the pathophysiological mechanisms of certain diseases, diagnostic criteria, treatment options, and possible complications.
Students may be asked to discuss specific clinical cases, providing a medical history, symptoms, diagnostic tests, and treatment options for the imaginary patient. Examiners will assess the student's ability to think clinically, formulate diagnostic hypotheses, and select appropriate therapies. - Extended program
