Educational organization of the degree course
Current legislation lays down six years of study for the degree course in Medicine and Surgery with a total of 360 credits including 60 credits for
Vocational Training to be acquired in educational activities designed to promote the acquisition of specific vocational skills.
Attendance at these educational activities (lectures and training) is compulsory and is a prerequisite to taking exams.
Semesters: The Degree course is divided into 12 semesters. The average duration is 14 weeks each, based on a teaching progression starting with
basic science in the first two years and progressing with medical and clinical methods, health care organization in Italy, ethical and legal aspects of
medicine.
Courses and exams: Individual courses are grouped into modules in keeping with the principle of integrated teaching with a total of 36 examinations
(esami di di profitto) undertaken in the six-year course. Continuous assessment may be prescribed for courses held across two terms.
Internship/Vocational Training: The period of Vocational Training (60 credits)functions to all intents and purposes as an integral part of the Degree
course. Starting in the third year it is carried out in one of the following clinics: Internal Medicine, General Surgery, Pediatrics, Obstetrics and
Gynecology as well as other medical and surgical specializations. The internship takes the form of tutorial teaching in which practical activities are
conducted under the supervision of a Tutor-Teacher.
ADEs: 8 credits are assigned to elective educational activities (ADEs) chosen by students. There are no exams.
Thesis: 18 credits are assigned to thesis preparation.
Assessment of learning- Examination sessions
Assessment is either by:
• exams without marks (idoneità) designed to determine the effectiveness of learning and teaching processes;
• exams with marks (esami di profitto) designed to assess course objectives have been fulfilled, to certify an individual student’s preparation and
quantify the outcome with a mark.
All exams are taken during specific exam periods.
