Degree in Medicine and Surgery

The single-cycle Master's Degree in Medicine and Surgery is designed to train surgeons at an initial professional level with a valid biomedical-psycho-social preparation. The successful graduate will gain a multidisciplinary and integrated view of the most common problems of health and disease, with professional training oriented toward the community, the territory and prevention, with a humanistic approach. This specific mission responds in a more adequate way to the new needs of care and health, as it is focused not only on the disease but also, and above all, on the patient, considered in an entirety of body and psyche, and inserted in a social context of high complexity in continuous growth and evolution.

The course therefore prepares graduates for a career as a surgeon in its various functional forms.
