Prerequisiti
To take Clinical and surgical pathology exam, students must have already passed all the exams of the first and second year (Fundamentals of Basic Sciences, Cells, Molecules and Genes Genetics, Human Body, Functions 1 and 2 and Mechanisms of Diseases).
Metodi didattici
Synchronous activities include live online lectures, virtual microscopy sessions, and case-based discussions. For asynchronous learning, we provide recorded lectures, annotated pathology reports, and self-paced virtual slide sets.
Materiale di riferimento
All lecture presentations (PowerPoint slides) will be made available to students and are intended to support and guide your learning throughout the course. However, they are not sufficient on their own to ensure full preparation for the exam or a deep understanding of the subject matter. To truly master the complexity of pathology, students are strongly encouraged to consult recommended textbooks (Robbins and Cotran Pathologic Basis of Disease is the best!), review selected scientific articles, and actively participate in class discussions. Take advantage of the professors' expertise—ask questions, challenge ideas, and engage in dialogue. Writing your own notes, summarizing key concepts, and connecting pathological findings with clinical scenarios will be essential to making the most of this learning experience.
Modalità di verifica dell’apprendimento e criteri di valutazione
The final exam is designed to be an engaging and rewarding opportunity to apply what you've learned during the course. It includes two parts:
1. A brief 5-minute oral presentation of a clinical case, previously chosen by the student from the pathology reports provided and discussed in class. Students are expected to demonstrate their ability to interpret histopathological and molecular findings, correlate them with clinical data, and articulate the diagnostic and prognostic implications. No need for memorization, just clear thinking and good clinical insight!
2. One to two oral questions on broader topics covered during the course, aimed at assessing the student's understanding of pathology in a clinical context.
The grading scale ranges from 18 to 30 cum laude. Most students who actively follow the course and engage with the professors and the material are well prepared to succeed. To achieve the top score (30 cum laude), the student should be able to discuss the case and related topics with the confidence and reasoning comparable to that a young medical professional.
