Obiettivi formativi
The Plastic Surgery body of knowledge is founded on solid biological and anatomical bases and involves a huge variety of clinical scenarios the health professional has to face in her/his everyday practice. The scope of the course is to build a solid knowledge that would allow the health professional to recognize and understand the wide spectrum of pathologies that require the Plastic Surgery expertise.

Metodi didattici
The new course organization is based upon a solid pact between teachers and students and is founded on the mutually responsible interpretation of the University Credit, the unit of measurement of work students and teachers are required to undertake: teachers and students therefore actively work together for a common objective. The new on-line approach through the KIRO website provides the theoretical bases of the course.
The students are expected to study the topic prior to the lesson as the latter is conceived as an interactive development of the students' knowledge. Therefore, the University Credit starts with the students' contribution (individual preliminary study) and is then followed by the teacher's one (the interactive lesson).

Modalità verifica apprendimento
The exam is oral and is based upon the whole program. When preparing the exam, the student should refer to both the lessons and the textbook. The oral dissertation is based on the effective approach to a clinical case, it should be organized with logical order moving from the general to the particular and it should be supported by solid arguments, in a correct English language with the appropriate use of medical terminology.
The integrated exam score is the weighted mean score from the single parts with the roundings approved according to the unquestionable commission's judgement.
