Oral exam
Direct feedback/assessment during clinical practice training
The evaluation of the skills in the specific matter of teaching will be evaluated with the oral final exam. A minimum of 18/30 is required to be certified.
The candidate should be able to describe the essentials of the main respiratory diseases and of the basic diagnostic procedures (SEE SECTION 2).
Those latter aspects will be directly verified during the clinical practice training. These include:
Knowledge: pathopysiological and clinical bases of the main respiratory diseases.
Practical: clinical examination and basic diagnostic maneuvers (e.g. spirometry, arterial blood gas analysis, saturimetry, venipuncture, skin prick test, interpretation of chest X ray and CT scan).
It is required, for the final exam, that the student is able to discuss properly (also in term of medical language) his/her competence both in description and in practice.
All sudents/trainees, independent of their academic status are invited to directly contact the personnel of Clinica di Malattie Respiratorie e Allergologia, Policlinico Ospedale San Martino, Pad.
