· understand the actions of healthcare workers from an ethical, social, and moral perspective;
· assist in the design and creation of scientific data-processing systems, as well as their management and application within various contexts;

· cultivate, as part of ongoing tutorship and coordination of internship activities for basic, complementary, and ongoing education, teaching skills to train aspiring professionals in one's field;
· instruct others on the legal aspects of the profession in terms of administrative and legal rules, and EU regulatory bodies, in order to facilitate international relations with governments or one's own professional board.

Employment statistics (Almalaurea)
Contacts and exchanges with foreign educational and health institutions are presently under development, with the aim to provide students with a reasonably broad range of international mobility programs. Based on the peculiarities of the training curriculum and the specific needs of the students, who predominantly work as health professionals in public and private institutions, the mobility programs will include training activities within the organizational and research domains.
Attendance of all educational activities contemplated in the study programme is mandatory.
To be allowed to sit the for-credit exam, students must have attended at least 75% of the formal and informal educational programming contemplated for each course. Should a student's attendance fall short of the required attendance level, instructors may assign alternative educational activities, including self-study, which the student must complete and submit before being allowed to sit a given exam. Attendance of all practical training and internship hours is mandatory, and cannot be fulfilled through other means.
Enrolment
Admission into the programme is capped, at a national level, pursuant to Law no. 264 of 2 August 1999.
The number of students who may be admitted is set each year pursuant to a decree of the Ministry of Universities and Research (MUR), based on findings provided by the university in terms of available instructional, classroom, and clinical resources (human and otherwise), as well as the demand for the type of professionals contemplated for this Class as determined by the Region of Lombardy, and the Ministry of Health.
The admission test for the programme consists of a written, multiple-choice examination.
The test is held on a date set by MUR for all Italian campuses.

Admission into the programme requires a degree in Class L/SNT3, or in the corresponding class under Ministerial Decree no. 509/99, or a university degree authorising a person to practice in the profession, or other degree deemed equivalent (under Law no. 42/1999); those holding a foreign degree deemed equivalent are likewise eligible for admission.
