Bibliography

Argomenti di Pediatria (M.Vanelli, ed.), Parma 2013 (pp. 197-226). Other
reference material and bibliography/sitography will be provided during
the lessons.

Teaching methods

The course will be held through lectures to Students either in the classroom (“in presenza”) or in synchronous-streaming (“in telepresenza”) on the Teams platform. Therefore, the opportunity of Student/Teacher interaction will be preserved both face to face and remotely, by the simultaneous use of the Teams platform.
Lectures will be supported by slide presentations, which will be available to students on the Elly platform (https://elly2020.medicina.unipr.it/).
The active participation of the students will be stimulated through
discussions of pathophysiology and clinical cases.

Assessment methods and criteria

The fulfillment of didactic objectives will be verified at the level of the whole Course in
Pediatrics through an oral examination that will concern also subjects
treated in this Course.
