Are Similar or Complementary Objectives

Knowledge of the medical-legal aspects relating to one's profession and the set of laws, rules and regulations that govern healthcare.
Ability to organize and manage one's activity as a surgeon in relation to the characteristics of the structures in which one will be called to operate


ntegrated training objectives (i.e. Common Trunk)
The trainee must have acquired satisfactory theoretical knowledge and professional competence in the clinical and instrumental diagnosis and treatment, even in emergency-urgent conditions, of the most common surgical pathologies. The trainee must acquire the fundamental knowledge of physiopathology of the various organs and systems, the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary for the recognition of diseases that affect the various systems of the body, the theoretical and practical knowledge of the main sectors of instrumental and laboratory diagnostics relating to the aforementioned diseases, the acquisition of the ability to evaluate the internal and specialist connections and influences. He must therefore be able to recognize the symptoms and clinical-functional signs with which the diseases of various organs and systems manifest themselves, having acquired the fundamental diagnostic, therapeutic, psychological and ethical knowledge necessary for a global vision of the patient. To this end, he must develop the ability to clinically frame the patient on the basis of the anamnesis and objective examination; develop critical and analytical diagnostic skills; become familiar with the main diagnostic procedures and laboratory-instrumental investigations; recognize and be able to deal with the main medical emergencies; become familiar with the therapeutic resources to plan their optimal use and recognize their indications and contraindications, as well as the effects of interaction and possible iatrogenic incidents; acquire the fundamental notions relating to clinical research methodologies and pharmacological trials; know the fundamental problems relating to prevention, public health and social medicine. The trainee must have acquired satisfactory theoretical knowledge and professional competence in the recognition and treatment, in emergency-urgency conditions, of the most common pathologies. Finally, the trainee must also know, from a clinical and therapeutic point of view, the most common pathologies within the competence of the other typologies of the class.

The mandatory professionalizing activities must be aimed at acquiring specific skills, which must be assessable and evaluated within the specialization course.
These will include outpatient, inpatient, elective and emergency activities, both in obstetrics and gynecology, including specificities previously considered "elective characterizing by choice".
The obstetrics activity, indicated separately, will be included for the operative component also in the surgical procedures of the various levels according to the tutor's assessment.

- Obstetrics:
a) Prenatal diagnostics, prevention and treatment of pregnancy-related pathologies (250 cases);
b) Assistance with physiological and operative labor and delivery (100 cases);
c) Caesarean sections (30 interventions);
- Gynecological diagnostics, physiopathology, gynecological oncology and endocrinological gynecology activities (250 cases);
- At least 50 major surgery interventions of which 10% as first operator;
- At least 100 medium surgery procedures, of which 25% as first operator. The rest as second operator;
- At least 250 minor surgery procedures, of which 40% as first operator (including endoscopic surgery procedures, as well as outpatient and D.H. procedures). The rest as second operator
The aforementioned distribution may include substitutions with similar activities or procedures within the different areas.

The trainee may compete for the diploma after completing the professionalizing activities

The trainee, as part of the training path, must learn the scientific bases of the School typology in order to achieve full maturity and professional competence that includes an adequate capacity for interpreting scientific innovations and a critical knowledge that allows him to consciously manage both assistance and his own updating; in this area, participation in meetings, conferences and the production of scientific publications and periods of attendance at qualified Italian and foreign institutions useful for his training may be foreseen
