During the Degree in Medicine and Surgery, the graduates at UniCamillus will have to be able to know the scientific basics and the necessary theoretical-practical preparations in accordance with the directives 75/363/CEE in order to practice in the medical profession as well as the methodology and culture needed for permanent training. Additionally, a level of professional, decision making and operative autonomy deriving from education and characterized by a holistic approach towards health problems of the sick and healthy is also needed together in relation to the chemical-physical, biological and social settings that surround them; knowledge of essential theory which derives from basic science with the perspective of it being applied professionally; the capacity of detecting and critically evaluating from a clinical and unitary point of view which is also extended towards the social-cultural dimension and genre and the data relative to the state of health, psychopathologies and organ pathologies; the abilities and experience united towards the capacity of self-evaluation in order to take and resolve responsible health problems from a preventative, diagnostic, prognostic, therapeutic and rehabilitation point of view; the knowledge of historical, epistemological and ethical dimensions; the capacity to communicate clearly and humanely with the patient and relatives; the capacity of collaborating with the different professional figures in the different health group activities; the capacity of also applying the principles of health economics in decisions; the capacity of recognizing the health problems of the community and intervening in a competent way.
During the last period of the course, when non Italian students will have acquired sufficient command of the language, some courses may be taught in Italian. The lectures are always given by the teaching staff (first and second level professors, researchers and contracted professors).
It deals with interactive didactic activities addressed to small groups of students and coordinated by a tutor whose task is that of facilitating the student in learning the know-how, skills and behavioral models. Learning is mainly done through the stimuli from problem analysis and through the mobilization of methodological skills and decision making needed to solve them as well as through the direct and personal use of action (gesture and relational) in the contexts of practical exercises and/or attendance in clinics, surgeries, territorial structures and research labs. The function of the tutor can also be entrusted to non-university staff who have the recognized qualification in that specific education sector and is in accordance with the recruitment process foreseen by the university's regulations.
The specific objectives of the single courses that are contained in the exam programs and their programming are proposed annually by course teachers within the starting date of the enrollments to the new academic year.
The student is required to acquire specific professional skills in the field of internal medicine, general surgery, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, as well as medical-surgical specialties via the facilities identified by the faculty council or the master's degree course with an overall number of 60 university credits.
The role of the tutor for training internships carried out in the non-university structures can be taken by highly qualified staff and is dependent on the convention with the facility.
The internship can also be held in developing countries.
The Council of the master's degree organizes the offer of the elective didactic activities which can be carried out through lectures, seminars and interactive courses with small groups among which the student practices their own personal option until they achieve an overall number of 8 university credits.
Each student autonomously chooses the elective activities among the didactic offers.
D) Educational activities for final exam preparation.
In order to be admitted to take the final exam for the degree, the student has to prepare a thesis elaborated in an original way and under the guidance and responsibility of a lecturer in the faculty of medicine and surgery. This activity is defined as the "degree internship".
The student can carry out the thesis internship in any of the facilities of the faculty or those in convention with the faculty. The thesis internship can also be done in non-convention facilities under the responsibility of the lecturer. The lecturers are first or second level professors, researchers or contracted professors.
On the course first day, the students will be assigned to each of the four groups.
4/3 oral test h10:30 A.M.
19-21/02 oral test h.9:30 + h. 14:30 P.M.
Professors receive students upon appointment (book via e-mail).
It offers the scientific basics and the theoretical-practical needs to practice in the medical profession in accordance to the directives 75/363/CEE which has set the standards for the education of doctors in the European Union: the UniCamillus graduates will be allowed to operate in the whole of the European Union. Furthermore, they will be able to tackle many of the deficiencies of the specialist professional roles within the Southern parts of the world. Since 2006, the World Health Organization has launched the "Task Shifting Project". The project which is trying to combat the impossibility of giving a reasonable response in acceptable times due to the lack of healthcare workers at all levels has hypothesized that a certain number of activities which are usually done by specialist doctors can be preserved to general practitioners.
In line with UniCamillus' humanitarian mission, during the study path, there will also be an extra emphasis placed on the existing interrelations between the contents of basic science and those of clinical sciences with particular attention placed on the interdisciplinarity of medicine and an approach that is strongly oriented towards the humanity of the patient by critically evaluating not only all the clinical aspects but also dedicating attention towards the relational, educative, social and ethic aspects involved in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of malaria as well as the rehabilitation and recovery of the highest level possible of psychophysical health.
