- DENTAL DISEASES
Oral examination; The test lasts about 10 minutes and focuses on the discussion of a topic chosen by the candidate.
The degree of readiness is evaluated by the clarity of exposition, the properties of language and the ability to relate with local pathology systemic diseases.
MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY
Oral exam with three questions for 10 minutes each (average interval 8-12 minutes), with the following criteria (qualitative) used in the evaluation: clarity and precision.
OTORINOLARINGOIATRY
Oral examination. The test lasts 20-30 minutes and is divided on average on the formulation of 4/5 questions that students must answer in a clear, comprehensive and precise. The analytical and logical link between the various arguments is appreciated.
AUDIOLOGY
Oral examination. The test lasts 15-20 minutes and is divided on average on the formulation of 3 questions that students must answer in a clear, comprehensive and precise. The analytical and logical link between the various arguments is appreciated
The final grade is a weighted average of the marks obtained in each of the four tests Reference texts
