Medical Sciences
A.Y. 2021/2022
Learning objectives
The course of Medical Sciences provides a general framework of the etiological, physiopathological, clinical and care bases of the main acute and chronic diseases of internal, pediatric and dermatological interest related to the dental discipline and the bases of their treatment. It also provides the fundamental notions regarding the setting of a correct diagnosis of the main organ pathologies based on information deriving from laboratory medicine with particular reference to the dental field. Finally, it provides elements of Clinical Psychology both for helping to identify patients with psychological problems and for improving the doctor-patient relationship.
Expected learning outcomes
At the end of the course, students will be able to recognize the symptoms and signs of the main acute and chronic diseases of internal, pediatric and dermatological interest related to the dental discipline and will know the relative therapies. They will also be able to use laboratory diagnostics for a correct diagnosis of the main organ pathologies and will eventually be able to identify psychological problems in patients with oral manifestations setting up a correct doctor-patient relationship.

Assessment methods and Criteria
At the end of the integrated course of Medical Sciences, students must be able to recognize the symptoms and signs of the main acute and chronic pathologies of internal, pediatric and dermatological interest related to the dental discipline and know the related therapies. They must also be able to use laboratory diagnostics for a correct diagnosis of the main organ diseases, particularly in the dental field, and must finally identify the psychological problems in patients with oral diseases by setting up a correct doctor-patient relationship.
At the end of each teaching module of the integrated course, students take an exam to assess the level of preparation in the individual study subjects in the following ways:
- Internal Medicine Module (8 CFU). Written part with multiple choice questions and oral part. The grade points are expressed in thirtieths. The results are available at the end of the exam.
- Clinical Pathology Module (3 CFU). Written test with two open questions. The grade points are expressed in thirtieths. The results are communicated electronically.
- Pediatrics module (2 credits). Written test. The grade points are expressed in thirtieths. The results are communicated electronically.
- Dermatology module (1 CFU). Written test with multiple choice questions or open questions. The grade points are expressed in thirtieths. The results are communicated electronically.
- Psychology module (1 CFU). Written test with multiple choice questions. The grade points are expressed in thirtieths. The results are communicated electronically.
The final grade point of the integrated course of Medical Sciences, which is recorded after passing all the modules, is represented by the weighted average of the grade points achieved in the individual modules on the basis of the relative CFU and is expressed in thirtieths.

Teaching methods
The module of Internal Medicine provides a general overview of the etiological, pathophysiological, clinical and assistance bases of the main acute and chronic pathologies of internal interest related to the dental discipline and the bases of their treatment. The teaching takes place during the third year of the course of Dentistry and Dental Prosthesis with 6 credits of frontal lessons and 2 credits of clinical practice exercises at the bedside and presentation of clinical cases in the classroom.
Teaching Resources
Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine; Rugarli Medicina interna sistematica.

Teaching methods
The module of Clinical Pathology (2CFU of frontal teaching and 1 CFU of non-frontal teaching) aims to provide the student with the basic knowledge relating to the peculiar aspects of the main human pathologies, with particular reference to the dental field. The main diagnostic approaches of laboratory medicine are described. The student acquires the fundamental notions related to the setting of a correct diagnosis of the main organ diseases on the basis of information deriving from laboratory medicine, with particular reference to the dental field. This aspect is deepened also through a critical study of literature with exercises in the form of a journal club in which groups of students present an article, provided by the teacher, which deepens the topics covered in the lectures.
