Objectives
STUDENTS WILL LEARN HOW TO EVALUATE, DIAGNOSE AND TREAT THE MOST COMMONLY OBSERVED PSYCHIATRIC, 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 CULTURAL, HISTORICAL, SCIENTIFIC AND NORMATIVE EVOLUTION OF PSYCHIATRIC ASSISTANCE,
•EXHAUSTIVE KNOWLEDGE OF THE EVIDENCE-BASED NEURO-PSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY
•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:
•IDENTIFY THE MAIN PSYCHIATRIC, NEUROLOGICAL AND NEUROSURGICAL DISEASES AND TO UNDERSTAND THEIR EVOLUTION;
•IDENTIFY THE MAIN CONSEQUENCES OF PSYCHIATRIC, NEUROLOGICAL AND NEUROSURGICAL DISEASES ON THE INDIVIDUAL’S FUNCTIONAL ABILITIES AND THEIR LONG-TERM OUCTCOMES;
AT THE END OF THE COURSE THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO:
•APPLY THE LEARNED KNOWLEDGE IN ORDER TO FORMULATE DIAGNOSIS AND THERAPEUTIC PROGRAMS;
APPLY THE LEARNED KNOWLEDGE IN ORDER TO CHOOSE THE MOST APPROPRIATE PHARMACOLOGIC, NEUROSURGICAL OR REHABILITATION TREATMENTS

ITHE EXAM CONSISTS OF A WRITTEN TEST AND AN ORAL INTERVIEW.
THE WRITTEN TEST IS COMPOSED OF 30 QUESTIONS REGARDING THE TOPICS TREATED OVER THE LESSONS. FOR EACH EXACT RESPONSE, A SCORE OF 1 IS ALLOCATED; FOR NO RESPONSE OR WRONG RESPONSE A SCORE OF 0 IS ALLOCATED. A TOTAL SCORE OF AT LEAT 18 IS MANDATORY TO ADMITTED TO THE ORAL INTERVIEW.
THE ORAL INTERVIEW AIMS TO VERIFY THE STUDENT’S LEVEL OF THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE AND HIS ABILITIES TO DESCRIBE IT. THE EVALUATION TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE EXACTNESS OF THE STUDENT’S RESPONSES AND, ESPECIALLY, HIS ABILITY TO DEFINE A DIAGNOSIS AND A
