The evolution of the epidemiological situation linked to the spread of Sars-Cov2 infection appears to be difficult to predict at present, therefore, it is not possible a priori to exclude the possibility that the written test of the integrated course of medicine II (i.e. the tests of geriatrics and genetics) must be carried out electronically, without carrying out the practical test at the patient's bed.

The oral exam includes the discussion of clinical cases in which the student will have to demonstrate the ability of diagnostic / therapeutic synthesis
