Internal Medicine
A.Y. 2025/2026
Learning objectives
The course is divided into 2 years, the 5th and 6th. It is proposed to provide diagnostic criteria, differential diagnosis and therapeutic tools for the main diseases of interest in internal medicine. As an example: cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic, gastro-hepatological, endocrinological, nephrological, infectious diseases. The course also aims to provide the basis for the diagnosis and management of the elderly patient and the neoplastic patient. During the course the main pathophysiological mechanisms will be briefly recalled, with particular attention to polymorbidities that often coexist above all in elderly patients. The bases will be provided to carry out the most probable diagnosis and the most appropriate therapy of internal medical conditions and their complications, to highlight the complexity linked to polymorbidity.
The teaching method involves the discussion of clinical cases, through which to discuss the various possible differential diagnoses and the appropriate therapy setting, according to the most updated guidelines.
