From Medical Student to Physician:
Our Mission
La missione del Corso di Laurea Magistrale a ciclo unico si identifica con la formazione di un medico a
livello professionale iniziale con una cultura biomedico-psico-sociale, che possieda una visione
multidisciplinare ed integrata dei problemi della salute e della malattia, con una educazione orientata
alla comunità, al territorio e fondamentalmente alla prevenzione della malattia ed alla promozione
della salute, e con una cultura umanistica nei suoi risvolti di interesse medico;
tale missione specifica risponde in maniera più adeguata alle nuove esigenze di
cura e salute,in quanto centrata non soltanto sulla malattia, ma soprattutto
sull’uomo ammalato, considerato nella sua globalità di soma e psiche ed inserito
nel contesto sociale.
La formazione medica così orientata è inoltre vista come il primo segmento di un'educazione che deve
durare nel tempo, ed in quest’ottica sono state calibrate le conoscenze che lo studente deve acquisire
in questa fase, dando giusta importanza all’autoapprendimento, alle esperienze non solo in Ospedale
ma anche nel territorio, all’epidemiologia, per lo sviluppo del ragionamento clinico e della cultura della
prevenzione.
