Subject matter
The Curricular Unit will be based on the discussion of practical clinical problems (clinical
cases), addressed sequentially by the various Specialties. When choosing the cases to be
presented, epidemiological aspects will be taken into account (prevalence of diseases in the
community), clinical severity and the ability of a clinician to intervene in the various places
of medical practice: Emergency, Outpatient or Inpatient.
