Course contents
The topics to be presented during the lessons are reported below, however they do not include anything that can be matter of evaluation, which includes the entire Internal Medicine.
The approach of this exam to the patient is induced, to the aim of teaching how to move from patient's clinical condition to the diagnosis to the principle of treatment of the condition, rather than a systematic approach to diseases. Accordingly several clinical cases will be presented as exemplary, but also as relevant to discuss differential diagnoses.
