Conduct of placements
| The three-year theoretical pathway is closely interconnected with the clinical placement pathway, whose curriculum is designed to support students in gradually acquiring knowledge and skills and learning behaviour. It envisages a pathway in which students are supervised and benefit from the guidance of tutors, focused first on basic obstetrical care for learning the fundamental techniques, manoeuvres, assessments, communication and planning skills; gradually developing more and more complex and articulated skills on intellectual and technical/scientific interventions in the clinical, relational, educational and managerial spheres, aimed at prevention, diagnosis, treatment, safeguarding and recovery of health and palliation in the obstetrical, neonatal gynaecological and gynaeco-oncological spheres, with particular attention to the woman, couple, newborn, child, family, community, in the various contexts of life and places of care, taking into account the technical and practical standard envisaged by national and international regulations. The placement is governed by the Placement Regulations, which the student is required to observe. The professional placement is a training activity that is carried out in specific healthcare contexts of the Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria (University Hospital) of Parma and in the affiliated Aziende Sanitarie (Health Authorities). The health authorities affiliated with the degree course are: Azienda Usl Parma; Azienda Usl Piacenza; Azienda Usl Reggio Emilia; Azienda Ospedaliera Arcispedale Santa Maria Nuova - IRCCS Reggio Emilia; Azienda Usl Toscana Nord Ovest. For the benefit of students, the University of Parma has taken out a two-pronged insurance policy to cover accidents occurring during the course of the various training activities envisaged in the entire Study Plan and accidents occurring 'en route' (during the journey between the trainee's home and the institution/company's premises).
