Objectives
STUDENTS WILL LEARN HOW TO EVALUATE, DIAGNOSE AND TREAT THE MOST COMMONLY OBSERVED NEUROLOGICAL AND NEUROSURGICAL DISEASES.
SPECIFICALLY THEY WILL BE ABLE TO LEARN:
•THE BASICS OF SEMIOLOGY, DIAGNOSTICS, AND THERAPEUTICS OF PSYCHIATRIC, NEUROLOGICAL AND NEUROSURGICAL DISEASES.
•GENERIC KNOWLEDGE OF THE MAIN NEUROSURGICAL TECHNIQUES;
•GENERIC KNOWLEDGE OF THE MAIN NEUROIMAGING METHODS AND NEUROIMAGING SEMIOLOGY OF THE MAIN PSYCHIATRIC, NEUROLOGICAL AND NEUROSURGICAL DISEASES.
AT THE END OF THE COURSE, THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO:
