Assessment methods

Verification of learning takes place through an oral test lasting 20/30 minutes, which aims to verify the acquisition of knowledge, the expository and critical judgment skills gained by the students. The test consists in the analysis of a clinical case for which it will be necessary to identify a correct evaluation, the objectives and the treatment proposal, motivating the choices. In the evaluation, particular attention will be paid to the acquisition of clinical reasoning and a logical-deductive method in the presentation of the contents. Training gaps or inappropriate language cannot help but consider the test negative. During the test it is not allowed to use mobile phones or support material such as handouts or notes

Teaching tools

PC, projector, professional devices
