Prerequisites for admission
Professional activities pursue and are an integral part of the objectives and results of the learning expected from teaching, as they confer the skills and abilities useful for applying knowledge in clinical practice.
To understand the contents of the course, a preliminary knowledge in Histology, Anatomy and General Pathology is strongly recommended.
Teaching methods
Attendance in hospital wards, surgeries, day hospital, operating room, first aid activities, discussion of clinical cases.

Frontal lessons supported by powerpoint slides and / or digital slide projections.
Professional activities in the laboratory and under the microscope.
Teaching Resources
Robbins - Le basi patologiche delle malattie (preferibilmente in inglese),
Assessment methods and Criteria
The exam consists of:
- preliminary written test: 30 multiple choice questions (one exact, time available 30 minutes). Score: for each correct answer 1 point, for each wrong answer -0.25 points, for each answer not given 0 points. Passing this test with a minimum of 18/30 allows admission to the oral test.
- oral test: it is carried out on the whole program, the ability to expose the key concepts of histocytopathological lesions and anatomoclinical correlations is assessed.
Passing the test will determine a mark expressed in thirtieths. No intermediate tests are foreseen.
