Assessment methods
The Rheumatology exam is conducted jointly with the Clinical Immunology exam through an oral interview. The professor/examiner will ask questions on the contents of both subjects. The exam aims to assess not only the knowledge of individual diseases but also the ability to make differential diagnoses; the evaluation will also consider the ability to communicate and use appropriate scientific language. The final grade reflects the overall assessment of the two modules and represents the grade for the Integrated Course of Immune and Rheumatology Diseases.
