Training objectives

------------------------------------------------------------
Modulo: 010582 - FARMACOLOGIA CLINICA
------------------------------------------------------------
INTERNAL MEDICINE (onco-hematology)
The student will acquire the following competences:
Oncology: Knowledge of neoplastic pathology and principal blood disorders, from pathogenesis to diagnosis, evolution and complications. Knowledge of the main treatments and of their side effects.
Hematology: Principles of pathophysiology of erythropoiesis, blood cells, pathophysiology and clinical features of the main benign hemopoietic diseases, including coagulation disorders and neoplasias of the lymphohemopoietic system.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
The main objective of the course is to provide students with the basic notion to evaluate and understand the mechanism of action of drugs used in clinic. Learning of the main drug classes, of their mechanisms of action, therapeutic and side effects, will provide the rational basis for a correct and safe use of drugs in therapy.
The main knowledge acquired will be:
knowledge of therapeutic indications, side effects and the mode of administration of the most significant drugs used in medical therapy.
The main skills (that are the ability to apply knowledge acquired) will be:
To extend the knowledge acquired during the study of drug classes to clinical practice, in order to be able to dispense drugs in a conscious way and to foresee / rationally recognize side effects and drug interactions.
MEDICAL SEMEIOTICS and INTERNAL MEDICINE
Helping students to understand the most important aspects of Internal Medicine, to favour tight collaboration between nurse and medical doctor. A special attention is devoted to diagnostic procedures (medical history, clinical examination, hematochemical and instrumental examinations) and therapy of several diseases.
