Metodi didattici
Teaching is delivered through supervised clinical traineeship activities in hospital wards. Students participate in bedside teaching, observe and progressively practise history taking and physical examination under the guidance of clinical tutors and take part in ward meetings and small-group theoretical and practical teaching sessions. Discussion of representative clinical cases supports the integration of clinical history and physical examination, promoting the development of clinical reasoning and diagnostic judgement (PLO1–PLO3). Throughout the traineeship, students receive formative feedback from supervisors and are expected to communicate professionally with patients and members of the multidisciplinary healthcare team (PLO4).

Contenuti
The Medical Semeiotics B traineeship builds on the skills acquired in Medical Semeiotics A through supervised participation in hospital ward activities. Students further develop their ability to assess patients, integrate clinical findings and apply clinical reasoning in the evaluation of common medical conditions. The traineeship consists of supervised clinical training in hospital wards, where students participate in the assessment of patients with common medical conditions.
The programme includes:
• supervised participation in ward activities;
• observation and practice of history taking and physical examination;
• assessment of patients presenting with common medical disorders encountered during the placement;
• discussion of clinical cases in relation to symptoms, physical signs and differential diagnosis;
• participation in ward meetings and small-group theoretical and practical teaching sessions.
