This Master's certificate aims to provide highly specialised training in the field of psycho-oncology, one responsive to the evolution of the field of modern oncology. In current practice, cancer treatment is patient-centred and has been moving increasingly towards a multi-disciplinary approach, predicated on an understanding of the human dimension of cancer treatment. This approach serves to address the physiological and biological aspects of the disease, as well as the psychological, interpersonal, and social aspects of cancer, in order to support the patient's mental health whilst improving their quality of life.
To be eligible for the programme, candidates must hold a degree pursuant to Ministerial Decree 270/2004 in the following classes: LM - 41 Medicine and Surgery, LM - 51 Psicology.
Professionals earning this Master's certificate will be equipped to work in the following specialities within the field of medicine: departments of oncology, cancer-treatment centres and hospitals, IRCCS [Research Hospitals], palliative cancer treatment, in-home health care, cancer-prevention nonprofits (e.g. LILT, AIOM), clinical research centres in the public and private sectors, private practices offering psychological support to cancer patients and their families.
