Learning objectives

The third year is dedicated to the deepening of pediatric extracorporeal circulation techniques and circulatory assistance, assistance during implantation of VAD devices and cardiac transplantation. Aimed at acquiring knowledge and methodologies relating to professional practice, the ability to work in teams and in complex organizational contexts. The internship experience allows you to experiment, with supervision, your gradual assumption of autonomy and responsibility, as well as the acquisition of scientific research skills and methodologies to support the elaboration of dissertations The internship experience allows you to experiment, with supervision, your gradual assumption of autonomy and responsibility, as well as the acquisition of scientific research skills and methodologies to support the elaboration of dissertations Aimed at acquiring knowledge and methodologies relating to professional practice, the ability to work in teams and in complex organizational contexts.

Learning assessment procedures

Evaluation of stage period with final theoretical-practical examination

Evaluation criteria

1) Insufficient: the student does not attend internship at all or attends little by not reaching the minimum amount of hours stipulated in the educational regulations not showing interest in internship activities;
the student attends internship reaching the minimum amount of hours not showing interest in the activities without reaching the minimum objectives set.
2) Sufficient: the student attends internship with low interest in the discipline reaching the minimum amount of hours established by the didactic regulations. Performs technical activities only on the Tutor's instructions.
3) Fair: the student regularly attends internship with interest in the discipline: performs technical activities in known situations in a discontinuous but autonomous manner; in unknown situations performs the activities on the Tutor's indication without delving into the specifics.
4) Good: the student attends regularly and with interest: performs technical activities in known and unknown situations in an autonomous and continuous way with interest in deepening with the Tutor.
5) Excellent: the student attends regularly and exceeds the prescribed amount of internship hours; performs technical activities completely independently in both known and unknown situations. Deepens areas of disciplinary interest both with Tutor and in self-study with use of available resources (books, literature, case reports, comparison with other Tutors, Physicians, health care personnel, etc...)

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

The average of the scores from stage period corresponds to a starting score with which the student is presented, which will be integrated with the score of the theoretical practical
