METODOLOGIA DELLA RIABILITAZIONE VISCERALE

Module Urology for physiotherapy

D1 – Knowledge and understanding
The student acquires knowledge of the anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology of the urinary tract and the male reproductive system. They understand the main clinical features of urological and andrological diseases, as well as the basic diagnostic and therapeutic principles.

D2 – Applying knowledge and understanding
The student is able to apply the acquired knowledge to recognize the signs and symptoms of the main urological and andrological conditions, interpret the main diagnostic tests (laboratory and instrumental), and orient themselves within the diagnostic and therapeutic pathway of the urological patient.

D3 – Making judgements
The student is able to integrate theoretical knowledge with clinical information to develop diagnostic reasoning in common urological conditions. They demonstrate critical thinking in evaluating diagnostic and therapeutic options, recognizing the limits of their knowledge and the importance of a multidisciplinary approach.

D4 – Communication skills
The student uses appropriate medical and urological terminology to communicate effectively with patients, colleagues, and other healthcare professionals. They are able to clearly explain the main diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of urological diseases.

D5 – Learning skills
The student is able to independently deepen their knowledge of urological and andrological diseases through scientific sources, clinical guidelines, and specialized literature, developing a learning method useful for continuous professional development.

Should teaching be carried out in mixed mode or remotely, it may be necessary to introduce changes with respect to previous statements, in line with the programme planned and outlined in the syllabus.

The exam consists of an interview in which at least two questions will be asked, covering at least two topics from the program. The exam assesses: i) the student's knowledge of the main pathologies of interest to nephrology; ii) the ability to apply this knowledge to differential diagnoses; iii) clarity of presentation; iv) mastery of medical-scientific language.

The following criteria will be taken into account in awarding the final grade:

Grade 29-30 with honors: The student has an in-depth knowledge of the main pathological entities, is able to promptly and correctly integrate and critically analyze the situations presented, and independently resolve even highly complex diagnostic problems; has excellent communication skills and masters medical-scientific and anatomopathological language.

Grade 26-28: The student has a good understanding of the main pathological entities, is able to integrate and analyze the presented situations critically and consistently, is able to solve complex diagnostic problems fairly independently, and presents the topics clearly using appropriate medical-scientific and anatomical-pathological language.

Grade 22-25: The student has a fair understanding of the main pathological entities, although limited to the main topics. He or she is able to integrate and analyze the presented situations critically, but not always consistently, and presents the topics fairly clearly with reasonable command of language.

Grade 18-21: The student has minimal understanding of the main pathological entities, has a modest ability to integrate and analyze the presented situations critically, and presents the topics sufficiently clearly, although his or her command of language is poorly developed.

Failed: The student does not possess the minimum required knowledge of the main course content. His or her ability to use the specific language is very limited or nonexistent, and he or she is unable to independently apply the acquired knowledge.
