"Student Reporting Desk" - the Joint Student-Teacher Commission (Commissione Paritetica Docenti Studenti - CPDS)

The Joint Student-Teacher Commission (Commissione Paritetica Docenti Studenti - CPDS) is active within the Department of Medicine and Surgery. This Commission, composed of an equal number of faculty members and student representatives from the study programs within the Department of Medicine & Surgery (Dipartimento di Medicina e Chirurgia – DIMEC), serves as a permanent observatory of educational activities, monitoring the curriculum, teaching quality, and support services. It plays an independent evaluation role and operates throughout the year to provide a listening channel for students and collect any reports or concerns.

In this regard, we remind you that the CPDS of the Department of Medicine and Surgery has activated the "Student Reporting Desk" (Sportello segnalazioni studenti) on the department's website: Commissione Paritetica Docenti-Studenti | Dipartimento di Medicina e Chirurgia. Through this platform, you can report any issues or irregularities encountered in your study path or submit suggestions simply by sending an email to one of the student representatives of the CPDS. Their names and email addresses can be found on the following page Commissione Paritetica Docenti-Studenti | Dipartimento di Medicina e Chirurgia.

The "Student Reporting Desk" is an important tool for promoting student engagement in the process of improving teaching quality, as beneficiaries of educational programs and support services. We therefore encourage you to use it by reporting any critical issues to the student representatives of the CPDS. All reports will be handled with the utmost confidentiality.
