Learning objectives
The course aims to provide students with:
i) knowledge on the most common internal medicine diseases including the most common cancer medicine ones;
ii) the skills that will enable students to perform a differential diagnosis and to define the therapeutic pathway of these pathologies;
iii) the knowledge necessary to develop a diagnostic and therapeutic pathway based on the principles of clincal methodology and evidence-based medicine.

Expected learning outcomes
Students must:
i) know how to elaborate - diagnostic hypotheses of the most common internal medicine pathologies through the anamnesis and physical examination of the patient - a diagnostic procedure through laboratory tests and instrumental examinations;
ii) critically interpret the required laboratory and instrumental reports to finalize the diagnostic process;
iii) set up the therapy for the most common internal medical conditions.

Prerequisites for admission
On the basis of the knowledge acquired in the courses of the previous years, in particular the courses of Semeiotics and Pathology of the Systems, the student must know the pathogenetic and pathophysiological bases, the risk factors and the prognostic factors of the diseases; their epidemiological, anatomopathological and semeiological, laboratory and instrumental characterization; the pharmacological basis of the therapies; how to evaluate the evidence in medicine
Teaching methods
Course syllabus and attending modality will be presented during an initial meeting for both students and teacher.
ETU learning should be considered as a kind of committment between the student and the tutor: the student will be engaged in acquiring the knowhow defined by ETU, the tutor will ensure the quality and complete training on ETU.
ETU attending time will be established by the tutor taking into account the student's career and specific needs.
