In today's globalized world, the health professional has often the need to communicate in English with patients and colleagues. The aim of this course is not that of teaching how to read a medical text, but to help to practice medicine in English, possibly in a human context different from the one our students are familiar with.
Gli obiettivi formativi sono precompilati a partire dalla Didattica Programmata della relativa coorte; l'informazione è modificabile solo se non era stata inserita sulla Didattica Programmata oppure, ad opera del Responsabile di unità di supporto alla didattica del Dipartimento, se l'insegnamento è relativo ad anni successivi al 1°
Our students encounter virtual patients, collect their medical histories, perform their physical examination, set down medical records, request diagnostic tests, and prescribe therapy. Several lectures concern specific medical areas (CV System, Respiratory System, Endocrinology, dermatology, Orthopedics& Rheumatology, Metabolism & Diet, Hematology, Clinical Pathology, Imaging) , for which typical dialogue situations are represented using the most frequent medical terms. The focus is not on technical words, but on the common terms that the patient may use. In all these scenarios, possible differences between the Anglo-Saxon and Italian interpersonal approach are emphasized for the purpose of fostering trust and communication with the patient.
