The teaching is organized as follows:

Learning outcomes

------------------------
MM: DIDATTICA E PEDAGOGIA SPECIALE
------------------------
The course explores the meanings of pedagogical issues and educational, related to persons with special needs, to identify the most appropriate modalities of professional approach in action. It also intends to focus on the practitioner's ability to deal with new conceptual models and processes to achieve cultural integration and inclusion. After completing the course, the student will be able to: - know the educaton elements of Special Needs; - Explore dimensions and innovative visions to foster integration and inclusion, in the different professional context and particularly about health of special neds; - Explore strategies and methods of education about with Special Needs patients in Special Care Dentistry
------------------------
MM: STATISTICA MEDICA
------------------------
The course aims to introduce the basic theoretical tools of Quantitative Medicine. The course points to prepare students to: - describe, interpret and communicate appropriately the information gathered on a collective of patients (or other experimental units); - assess the reliability of the measurements in the biomedical field, in terms of sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and precision; - generalize the observations collected on a limited number of subjects to the population of origin using elementary inferential techniques - read critically the articles of the biomedical area Program in summary form: - Introduction: The purpose of the statistics in medicine. - Descriptive statistics: the frequency distributions, the measures of position and dispersion - Probability: definition, sum and product of probability. Theoretical distributions of probability - Statistical inference: confidence intervals and hypothesis testing

MM: PSICOLOGIA GENERALE
------------------------

------------------------
MM: INFORMATICA
------------------------
The course includes extensive use of the computer lab provides the foundation of Information Technology, as well as practical skills for using software used in the office and in the computerized management of the surgery.
------------------------
MM: STORIA DELLA MEDICINA
------------------------
To obtain a critical knowledge of the historical evolution of medical and biological sciences from the antiquity until the current time, with special attention to the principles of the scientific method. The course encompass also a section about the history of dentistry and related disciplines.
