Verification of learning:

The requirements for admission to the internship exam are: - Positive evaluation of the year's clinical internships; - Achievement of the CFU expected in the year; - Overcoming the preparatory requirements set out in the teaching plan; - The student must have completed the clinical internship with a positive evaluation no more than 3 months ago. If more than 3 months have passed since the end of the internship, the student must carry out an internship period of at least eight weeks and in any case a period necessary to achieve the expected training objectives, with a positive evaluation. The hours spent for re-certification cannot be added to the overall number of hours. The evaluation of the examination test is the result of the arithmetic mean of: diagnostic presentation/reasoning, discussion of the clinical case, exposition of the Procedure. INTERNSHIP 1 YEAR = Positive evaluation (equal to or greater than 18/30) INDICATORS SCORE DESCRIPTORS Presentation of the clinical case according to the following criteria: to. Definition b. Responsibility c. Scope d. Directions c. Preparation d. Personal risks And. Registration Exhaustive 30-30 with honors With small inaccuracies 27-28 With some shortcomings 24-26 Just enough 18 Not meeting the criteria Insufficient The skills developed during the internship for expected objectives will be verified with 7 annual exams.
