Didactic methods

Students will be entrusted to the sub-sections of each operating unit and/or to a referring doctor. They will deal with the deepening of clinical semiotics, the discussion of the diagnostic elements and the therapeutic pathways of hospitalized patients, belonging to the Emergency Department and/or candidates for elective surgery. General concepts of surgery and management of surgical patients will be taught, as well as specialized concepts relating to the specialist areas to which they will be entrusted. They will take care of evaluating the clinical and diagnostic elements of each patient, and will be involved in the decision of the therapeutic pathways to be implemented. The teaching method will be mixed, providing for independent personal involvement (through texts and/or material already in possession), and direct teaching will be carried out, also through dedicated meetings (of which students will sometimes be the main responsible). The basic concepts of surgical dressings and the principles of preparing a sterile field will be taught. Students will participate, tutored, also in advanced medications and/or interventional procedures possibly to be carried out in the patient's bed. In the operating room, the principles of normal and surgical anatomy will be explained.
