Course syllabus and organization

Linea Policlinico

Prerequisites for admission
To understand the topics explained during frontal teaching, a series of basic knowledge is required.
Preliminary scientific knowledge corresponds to the notions of the first three teaching years of medicine and surgery.
Assessment methods and Criteria
The learning assessment methods for students are based on written tests.
The written test consists of several questions.
The student will answer the questionnaire with only one indication among four types of answers.
