Systems and Diseases II
A.Y. 2020/2021
Learning objectives
The course represents the synthesis of the notions acquired during the first 3 years and the basis for the subsequent detailed clinical studies the will be carried out during Medical and Specialized Clinics.
The objects are the following:
-to provide the student with the knowledge on the main diseases of Gastrointestinal, Endocrinological, Emathological and Immunoreumathological systems (in particular, etiology, pathophysiology and clinical manifestations)
-to give the main information on the genetics and pathological basis of the above-mentioned diseases
-to provide students with the preparatory tools (language, case history, medical examination) for a correct approach to the patient
-to provide with the main clinical, biochemical, instrumental investigations available to perform a correct diagnosis

Lectures will still take place in classrooms, if students can't reach the buildings we might consider alternative ways.
Prerequisites for admission
Propedeutical courses for Systems and Diseases II include: General Pathology and Physiopathology 3 (compulsory), Human Physiology (compulsory).
For the module of Medical Genetics, the basic knowledge presented in the courses of Biology & Genetics and Systems & Diseases I is expected to be assimilated.
For the module of Medical Genetics, the basic knowledge presented in the courses of Biology & Genetics and Systems & Diseases I is expected to be assimilated.
Assessment methods and Criteria
At the end of the course, an oral examination is performed; the test is based on an oral question by at least two teachers responsible for different modules (about 15-20 minutes for each teacher).
During the test, the following elements are evaluated: knowledge of the topics presented during the course, ability of critical reasoning on the study carried out; clarity of the oral presentation and the correct use of specialized lexicon. After collective evaluation of the teachers involved in the exam, the mark is expressed in thirtieths.

Teaching methods
The course will be made of frontal lectures, interdisciplinary seminars related to specific topics of relavance, discussions of significant clinical cases: all these activities will be performed with maximal interactivity. In the course of the clerkships the practical aspects will be particularly focused in a specialized ward, with the collection,, of typical patient's histories as well as of physical findings performed directly by the students under the supervision of tutors.
