The knowledge of normal values of laboratory tests and their alterations possibly life threatening.
Assessment methods and Criteria
The exam is made up of:
· a preliminary written test consisting of 30 multiple-choice questions (only one correct answer out of 4 options), which has to be concluded in 30 minutes. Each correct answer will give a score of 1 point; not given or incorrect answers will give a score of 0 point. Passing the written test with a minimum of 18/30 points allows admission to the oral examination.
· a subsequent oral examinaton in which the student will be evaluated for her/his ability to express with clarity and adequate language the pathophysiological, diagnostic and therapeutical basis of medical and surgical emergencies. The student will also be tested for her/his clinical reasoning skills, based on her/his acquired theoretical and practical knowledge, on realistic clinical cases. Passing the oral test will result in the final mark expressed in thirtieths.
