Medicine and Surgery

The Degree Course organizes the offer of elective activities, achievable with ex-cathedra lessons, seminars, interactive courses for small groups, uncoordinated activities or activities connected in "homogeneous didactic paths", among which the Student exercises his/her own personal option, until the total number of 8 CFUs is reached. EFAs should be carried out at times that do not interfere with other forms of educational activity. EFAs can be organised throughout the year, even outside periods of educational activity. The calendar of EFAs is published before the beginning of the academic year, or in any case of each didactic period, together with the calendar of compulsory didactic activities. ADEs can be divided into: Seminars, Tutorials, Monographic Courses, certified participation in Conferences and/or Congresses (with the prior authorization of the Semester Coordinator, or of the Presidency of the Degree Course) and discussion of clinical cases also by means of e-learning methods (intended as interactive learning courses in small groups with the aim of facilitating a better Teacher-Student interaction). Elective internships performed in research laboratories or clinical departments for a value of at least 1 CFU, at bi- or tri-weekly frequency, for a total of at least 25 hours. Elective or tutorial clinical and laboratory intercourses can also be performed in external facilities in Italy and abroad (they must be considered as moments of intense training content such as attendance in the operating room, in the delivery room, in first aid, in a research laboratory to achieve a specific goal). Electives can also be considered as attendance in General Practitioners' studies, according to the conventions stipulated with the Faculty.
