In Medical area the following trainee's skills will be evaluated:
- anamnestic collection and objective examination of the patient with surgical pathology
- differential diagnosis between the main pathologies related to the clinical case
- definition of diagnostic hypotheses with the identification of further first-level investigations in order to define the pathophysiology and the etiology of the patients' heath issue;
- decision-making process to identify the nature and priority of the patient's health issue and specifically in the prescription of a surgical treatment taking into account any chronicity, other criticalities and frailty of patients
- drafting an admission report (including description of aspects related to the surgical indication of the pathology requiring admission)
- interpretation of laboratory examinations

Prerequisites for admission
The student must have passed all the examinations of the integrated courses of the first four years of the Medicine and Surgery curriculum, in accordance with the rules and regulations.
Teaching methods
The internship takes place through attendance in inpatient wards, outpatient clinics, day hospital, emergency room activities and discussion of clinical cases.
Teaching Resources
The course does not refer to any particular texts. Constant attention is paid during the teaching activities to providing references for consulting up-to-date literature available online, with particular emphasis on the New England Journal of Medicine, Lancet, British Medical Journal-BMJ; journals published by the American College of Physicians; Cochrane Library.
Each lecture of the course provides the essential bibliographic references related to the topics covered. In general terms, students are constantly encouraged to integrate the clinical subjects addressed in the course with the so-called pre-clinical ones, following the suggestions reported in the following bibliographic source:
- A.L. Spencer, T. Brosenitsch, A.S. Levine, S.L. Kanter. Back to the Basic Sciences: An Innovative Approach to Teaching Senior Medical Students How Best to Integrate Basic Science and Clinical Medicine. Acad Med. 2008; 83:662-66
