  This is a comprehensive study of the endocrine system which will allow the student to integrate and better understand the functions of the other system of the body. The pathological conditions and the diagnostic prodedures to assess the endocrine illness will be discussed.

• general surgery

  Course aimed at learning the surgical pathologies most commonly found in psychiatric patients

• NEUROCHIRURGIA

  To understand epidemiology, classification, clinical features and diagnostic approaches to the most common neurosurgical diseases. To gain experience about clinical correlation between neurosurgical diseases and neuropsichiatric disorders.
