Learning outcomes
Apply clinical reasoning to analyze and resolve common problems of surgical interest. Present and critically analyze clinical cases, formulating an appropriated surgical strategy for each case that takes into account the costs, benefits and risks of selected procedures. Decribe and use the principles of evidence-based medicine in the context of specific surgical conditions. Search, retrieve, and present published data from the scientific literature, determine its validity through critical appraisal, and evaluate its translation into everyday clinical practice. Construct a scientific article according to established standards for publication.
Course contents
The course will cover all fields of general surgery including upperGI, hepatobiliarypancreatic, colorectal and emergency surgery.
The course will be designed to be interactive. Students will be presented a clinical case, on which the subsequent diagnostic and therapy pathway will be developed. Student will be required to interact and discuss the different options. Students' opinions during the case presentation will be accepted and discussed regardless of the correct pathway, in order to develop an environment of positive attitude towards errors and mistakes. Once the clinical case will be concluded, the current evidence of the scientific literature and real-life examples (including videos) will be provided and discussed.
