Programme contents

During this three-year programme, students will be trained to practice their future profession through an intense programme of lectures and practical laboratory work, carried out under the supervision and guidance of professional tutors, in conformity with European standards. Attendance to lectures and internships is compulsory. The programme provides a solid preparation in both standard scientific and specialised disciplines, so that the graduates gain a thorough understanding of pathological processes and have the skills to provide effective diagnostic support. Students are also required to learn the English language, which is necessary for them to keep up-to-date and possibly participate in the Erasmus project. Practical activities are performed in various laboratories of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, the University Hospital (Policlinico) of Modena and the Hospital of Baggiovara, the Local Health Authority of Reggio Emilia-Arcispedale S.M.N., and the experimental zooprophylactic institute of Lombardy and Emilia Romagna.
