Medicine
General Description
The Course of Medicine, at the University of Molise, is developed over a period of six academic years, each of one is distributed in two semesters; during the first three years the student achieves mainly basic science skills, while the other three years are mainly devoted to clinical skills.
The course is organized either with lessons or practical training session such as seminars, laboratory, ward round or outpatients clinics, and it covers basic and clinical aspects of all disciplines, from basic sciences, disease processes, related to their pivotal mechanisms and human sciences.
The lessons, which are distributed in integrated courses, consist of several modules and their attendance is mandatory.
Particular attention in payed on traineeship, which is carried out under the supervision and guidance of specialized tutors (physicians or surgeons) and which is principally based on the acquisition of practical skills through simulations in classroom activities, for basic skills (during the first year), learning main signs of clinical sciences (during the second and third year) and, then, from the fourth to the sixth year attending different Units of the Hospital to gain clinical skills at the “bedside”.
At the end of the course, the student will discuss a thesis, based on her/his assay, in front of a panel of 10 Professors of the School of Medicine.
