Syllabus
Course Objectives
The Plastic Surgery body of knowledge is founded on solid biological and anatomical bases and involves a huge variety of clinical scenarios the health professional has to face in her/his everyday practice. The scope of the course is to build a solid knowledge that would allow the health professional to recognize and understand the wide spectrum of pathologies that require the Plastic Surgery expertise.
Course Prerequisites
The student should know general Pathology and Anatomy.
Teaching Methods
The new course organization is based upon a solid pact between teachers and students and is founded on the mutually responsible interpretation of the University Credit, the unit of measurement of work students and teachers are required to undertake: teachers and students therefore actively work together for a common objective. Therefore, the University Credit starts with the teacher's contribution (the interactive lesson) and is then followed by the student's one (individual study).
Assessment Methods
The exam is oral and is based upon the whole program. When preparing the exam, the student should refer to both the lessons and the textbook. The oral dissertation is based on the effective approach to a clinical case, it should be organized with logical order moving from the general to the particular and it should be supported by solid arguments, in a correct English language with the appropriate use of medical terminology.
