------------------------------------------------------------
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.
------------------------------------------------------------
Modulo: 53384 - MEDICINA INTERNA (ONCOEMATOLOGIA)
------------------------------------------------------------
INTERNAL MEDICINE (onco-hematology)
The student will learn the fundamental aspects of the main tumor and haematological pathologies from etiopathogenesis to diagnosis, evolution and complications.
