Lo studente frequenterà i reparti e gli ambulatori di Medicina Respiratoria, Medicina Cardiovascolare, Cardiochirurgia e Chirurgia Vascolare per acquisire le prime competenze cliniche nella gestione di tali pazienti. Inoltre, per la cardiochirurgia e la chirurgia vascolare è prevista anche la frequenza delle sale operatorie di competenza.

Malattie del apparato respiratorio
Il tirocinio coprirà gli aspetti più importanti legati alle malattie respiratorie. Gli studenti acquisiranno le conoscenze di base necessarie per anamnesi e riconoscimento dell'insufficienza respiratoria acuta e cronica.
Segni e sintomi di malattie ostruttive e restrittive. Gli studenti prenderanno parte all'attività clinica sia ambulatoriale che ospedaliera, inclusa la frequenza al laboratorio di test di funzionalità polmonare. Obiettivo dell'affiancamento con lo staff medico è il miglioramento delle competenze nell'effettuazione dell'esame obiettivo e nelle indicazioni per la prescrizione e l'interpretazione dell'emogasanalisi arteriosa e dell'imaging radiologico del torace.

Malattie dell'apparato cardiovascolare
I tirocini riguarderanno gli aspetti più importanti legati alle patologie comunemente riscontrate del sistema cardiovascolare. Gli studenti acquisiranno le conoscenze di base necessarie per riconoscere i sintomi dell'ischemia miocardica, i segni/sintomi dell'insufficienza cardiaca, il paziente con aritmie cardiache, la cardiopatia valvolare e la cardiopatia congenita.

Chirurgia cardiaca
L'incarico riguarderà gli aspetti più importanti relativi al trattamento chirurgico delle cardiopatie ischemiche, valvolari e congenite.
Gli studenti acquisiranno le conoscenze di base necessarie per riconoscere le principali patologie cardiache oggetto di intervento chirurgico e le più importanti procedure tecniche.

Chirurgia Vascolare

Respiratory Medicine
The clerkship will cover the most important aspects related to the commonly Respiratory diseases. Students will acquire the basic knowledge required to take history and recognize acute and chronic respiratory failure and
obstructive and restrictive diseases signs and symptoms. Students will take part to both outpatient and inpatient clinical activity, including attendance in pulmonary function tests laboratory. Alongside the medical staff they will
improve skills in carrying out the physical examination and in the indications for the prescription and interpretation of arterial blood gas analysis and chest radiological imaging.

Cardiovascular Medicine
The clerkships will cover the most important aspects related to the commonly encountered pathologies of the cardiovascular system. Students will acquire the basic knowledge required to recognize myocardial ischemia symptoms, heart failure signs/symptoms, patient with cardiac arrhythmias, valvular heart disease, and congenital heart disease.

Cardiac Surgery
The clerkship will cover the most important aspects related to surgical treatment of ischemic, valvular and congenital heart diseases.
Students will acquire the basic knowledge required to recognize the main cardiac pathologies suitable of surgery and the most important technical procedures.

Vascular Surgery
The assignment will concern the most important aspects relating to the surgical treatment of pathologies of the venous and arterial vessels.
Students will acquire the basic knowledge necessary to recognize the main pathologies subject to surgical intervention and the most important technical procedures.
