Prerequisites:

It is mandatory that students have passed the exams related to the indicated courses: Corso Integrato di Scienze infermieristiche in area medica e chirurgica e il Corso Integrato di Scienze Infermieristiche in Medicina Specialistica e Integrata. In addition, knowledge of the gross and microscopic pathology and of the main principles of physiology is required.

Objectives

Obiettivi formativi OBIETT_FORM Sì 1) Comprensione dell’importanza di una corretta gestione del materiale prelevato per le diverse analisi anatomo-patologiche
2) Comprensione del percorso metodologico nell’uso delle diverse tecnologie utilizzabili per la diagnosi patologica delle neoplasie.
3) In seguito al conseguimento degli obiettivi 1 e 2 risulterà l’acquisizione della capacità di assistenza dei pazienti oncologici nel percorso diagnostico anatomo-patologico.

RISULTATI DELL’APPRENDIMENTO ATTESI
Conoscenza e capacità di comprensione
- Al termine del corso lo studente sarà in grado di riconoscere i livelli di complessità dello studio dei tessuti (istopatologia, istochimica, biologia molecolare ecc).

Capacità di applicare conoscenze e comprensione.

- Lo studente dovrà essere in grado di applicare le conoscenze derivate dal Corso ed integrarle con quelle derivanti dai Corsi precedenti. Inoltre sarà in grado di affrontare le problematiche dei percorsi diagnostici seguiti in anatomia patologica.

COMPETENZE TRASVERSALI

- Autonomia di giudizio

Lo studente sarà in grado di interpretare i dati presenti nei referti istopatologici e citologici.

- Abilità di comunicazione
-
Lo studente sarà in grado di comunicare informazioni corrette ad interlocutori specialisti e non.

- Capacità di apprendere

Lo studente sarà in grado di sviluppare ulteriori conoscenze anatomo-patologiche per aggiornarsi e intraprendere studi successivi. 1) Knowledge of the correct protocols to collect biological samples
2) Knowledge of the methods of choosing the different technologies useful for pathological diagnoses
3) The achievement of the objectives 1 and 2 will allow the students to acquire capabilities necessary to effectively help patients affected by oncologic diseases in the course of the pathological diagnosis
LEARNING OUTCOMES

Knowledge and understanding

At the end of the course the student will be able to recognize the complexity levels of the anatomical pathology (Histopathology, histochemistry, molecular biology, etc)
Applying knowledge and understanding
The student will be able to apply the knowledge learned during the course and to integrate it with the ones learned in previous studies. In addition, he will be able to address the issues related to the different diagnostic paths in anatomic pathology.

SOFT SKILLS
Making
judgements
The student will be able to interpret the data in the histopathological and cytological reports
Communication skills
The student will be able to communicate correct information to experienced or not experienced persons
Learning skills
The student will be able to develop more skills, to be updated, and undertake further studies

Contents

Knowledge of the pathologic basis of disease in different organs. Knowledge of cellular and tissue lesions and of their evolution.
Knowledge of the role of pathology and cytology in related with clinical decisions. Recognition of the appropriateness of histochemical, immune-histochemical and molecular biology techniques to perform a differential diagnoses. Knowledge of the major classification systems. In case of oncological pathology, knowledge of the main grading and staging schemes i to interpret pathological reports correctly.

It is mandatory to study all subjects indicated in the educational program including those not included in teacher’s notes and handouts

Teaching Methods

Interactive lectures (15 hours) performed utilizing images from Power Point files will be integrated by the students with the study of the teacher’s note and handouts and other educational training material

Evaluation methods

Verification of learning:

B4 test is a written exam comprising all 4 disciplines of the integrated course. The exam consists of 60 questions. (15 questions/discipline, with multiple choices and 1 correct answer, each correct answer corresponding to 2 points). Students pass the exam when a minimum of 9 correct answers for each discipline is provided
