Medical students should be able to know about the epidemiology, classification, pathophysiology, clinical as well as methodological, diagnostic istopathological and principles of treatments of more common or more relevant hematological, reumathological, allergic, gastroenterological, infectious and cutaneous disorders.

Dermatology:
The objective is to make the student able for a proper history and physical examination of the skin. The student should develop and mature the ability to operate an integration of all the information gathered through medical history, physical examination and clinical-instrumental investigations, in order to formulate a plausible interpretation of the clinical picture and diagnostic hypotheses.
