Examination Methods

ORAL EXAMINATION about at least two/three subjects dealing with the six disciplines of the Course (Pathology, Dermatology, Hematology, Gastroenterology, Infectious diseases, Rheumatology).
The final grade will be the arithmetic average of each examiner's marks.

Note: Students who register for the exam are invited to cancel their names from the appeals they do not participate in. If they cannot cancel, they must write an email to the course Coordinator as soon as possible. Those who do not cancel or do not notify the Coordinator will not be able to participate in the next call offered in the same session.
