One-cycle degree in Medicine and Surgery

This 6-year Master Degree aims at forming professional doctors with biomedical and psychosocial knowledge as well as a multidisciplinary, integrated vision of the problems linked to health and diseases. They shall have an open approach to communities, local areas, disease prevention and health promotion, but also a humanistic culture to be applied to relevant medical aspects. Such specific mission adequately responds to the new needs in terms of health and health care: not only does it focus on the disease, but first and foremost on patients who are considered as a unity of psyche and soma and analysed in their social context.

Furthermore, such medical training is also considered as the first step of a long-lasting education: hence, proper importance is given to self-learning, epidemiology and experiences both in hospitals and in the field. This way clinical reasoning and prevention culture are developed.
The teaching process takes advantage of modern educational tools, such as tutorial systems, clinical trigger, problem-oriented learning, experiential learning, problem solving, decision making and extensive use of seminars and conferences.

The presence of tutoring teachers is strong: they are involved in students’ training processes with teaching functions (i.e. area tutors) and support functions (i.e. personal tutors).
Particular attention is paid to the acquisition of practical skills.

Graduates from Medical School work as doctors in various roles and different clinical, healthcare and biomedical professional environments. Furthermore, this Master Degree is required to enrol into Medical Specialty Schools.
