Learning outcomes

The main aim of this academic course is that students can learn some biological grounds and mechanisms of the complex pathophysiological processes that regulate the delicate balance between health and disease. More precisely and above all, the diagnostic processes of medical history and objective examination will also be looked and interpreted from a pathophysiological point of view, in order to better understand why a disease can eventually lead to the development of those specific signs and/or symptoms, as well as why in the presence of some signs and/or symptoms you should suspect a specific disease.
