Learning outcomes

------------------------
MM: FARMACOLOGIA
------------------------
Provide to students the basic knowledge necessary to understand the mechanisms of action(s) of the drugs and predict and manage their therapeutic and toxic effecs
------------------------
MM: MICROBIOLOGIA
------------------------
Basic concepts of the world of microorganisms. Major differences among bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa and their role as agents of infectious diseases. Characteristics of the various microorganisms and their structures
------------------------
MM: PATOLOGIA GENERALE
------------------------
The student must acquire knowledge of the pathogenetic mechanisms controlling and characterizing the principal human pathologies. The main training objectives are: • understanding of the mechanisms of cellular and molecular damage • understanding of the pathogenetic processes • study of the mechanisms responsible for the recovery of the healthy state .

Program

------------------------
MM: FARMACOLOGIA
