The aim of the Internal Medicine A course is to teach the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to the internal medicine patient, with particular reference to the aspects of differential diagnosis and their complexity.

For each individual clinical situation involving internal medicine, students will be provided with the means needed to use and interpret the most common biohumoral and instrumental tests necessary to confirm the diagnostic suspicion made on the basis of case history and objective examinations obtained at the patient’s bedside. Students will be provided with the means needed to draw up a correct treatment plan, both pharmacological and interventional. All internal medicine diseases and disorders will be dealt with in the course, which is therefore not limited to the topics dealt with in the student-teacher lessons.

Student-teacher lessons with discussion of clinical cases.

Oral exam with open questions in order to assess the skills of diagnostic and therapeutic approach to the internal medicine patient, with particular reference to the aspects of differential diagnosis. The exam questions will not concern individual diseases, dealt with in previous courses and exams, and will not be limited to just the topics dealt with in the student-teacher lessons. Examples of exam questions: approach to the patient with anemia, approach to the patient with dyspnea, approach to the patient with shock, approach to the patient with diarrhea, approach to the patient in a coma.
