System Diseases 3 (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
GASTROINTESTINAL DISEASES: at the end of the clerkship, students should have learned:
- how to perform a clinical examination of the abdomen (inspection, auscultation, percussion, palpation)
- how to research rebound tenderness (Blumberg's sign)
- how to research Murphy's sign
- the semeiology of ascites
- how to research signs of cirrhosis
Furthermore, they should have observed:
- how to perform upper and lower gastro-intestinal endoscopy
- how to perform an abdominal ultrasound
ENDOCRINOLOGICAL DISEASES: at the end of the clerkship, students should have learned:
- how to perform a clinical examination of the neck: inspection, thyroid palpation
- how to perform the examination of arterial pulses
- how to measure blood pressure
- how to determine blood glucose (glucometer, Homa index, )
- how to perform a physical examination of obese patients (waist circumference, )
- how to examine patients with short stature (determination of target height, growth charts, )
- how to detect hypocalcemia (Chovostek and Trousseau signs)
- how to interpret key radiological examinations (thyroid US & scintiscan, pituitary MRI, )
- how to perform a clinical examination of the abdomen (inspection, auscultation, percussion, palpation)
- how to research rebound tenderness (Blumberg's sign)

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 3 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
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, Endocrinology and Gastroenterology.
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.
