System Diseases 1 (clerkship)
A.Y. 2020/2021
Learning objectives
Practical activities will be used, through simulation or in the ward, to consolidate technical and soft knowledge and skills developed during frontal lectures.
Expected learning outcomes
At the end of the practical activities, students should be able to:
- perform a clinical examination of the thorax: inspection, palpation, percussion, auscultation
- perform a clinical examination of the precordial region: palpation, auscultation
- examine the arterial pulses
- measure blood pressure
- perform a clinical examination of the abdomen: inspection, auscultation, percussion, palpation (liver, spleen)
At the end of the Cardiovascular clerkship, students should be able to:
- perform an ECG recording
- describe ECG recordings: depicit pathological signs
At the end of the Nephrology clerkship, students should be able to:
- describe and analyse blood gas analysis
- describe and analyse urinary sediment
- describe how to perform a renal ultrasound assessment
- describe how the different radiologic examination are obtained
- use the imaging based diagnostic thinking which will guide successful therapeutic interventions

Course syllabus and organization
Single session
Responsible
The teaching, given the current health situation, will be carried out entirely at a distance.
Prerequisites for admission
To take the System Diseases 1 exam, students must have already passed all the exams of the first and second year (Fundamentals of Basic Sciences, Cells, Molecules and Genes 1 and 2, Human Body, Functions and Mechanisms of Diseases).
Assessment methods and Criteria
Student assessment is based on a combination of written and oral examinations.
The written exam is a multiple choice test focused on the topics of the modules: Clinical Biochemistry, Microbiology, Pathology (10 questions for each subject). Only students who successfully pass the written tests of all subjects (threshold 7/10) are allowed to take the oral examination, focused on the modules: Diagnostic Imaging, Cardiovascular Diseases, Nephrology.
The oral examination must be passed in the same session as the written examination.
The students must undergo both written and oral examination on the same day. If the student does not pass successfully the oral examination, the positive result at the written test is valid only within the same session.
The final mark is the average of the marks obtained in the three oral examinations weighted for the number of credits of each discipline.
The exam is deemed to be passed successfully if the final grade is equal to or higher than 18/30. In the event of a full grade (30/30) honors (lode) may be granted with the consent of all the professors.
Registration to the exam through SIFA is mandatory.
