Medicine and Surgery Degree Course

At Humanitas University, multidisciplinary teaching characterises the approach to training future doctors. The teaching methods are based on active learning, problem-based learning, case method, concept maps and simulated patients to develop critical thinking and problem solving skills. The degree programme offers a wide selection of hands-on activities, both simulated and in the hospital. Tutors facilitate reflection and accountability through briefing, debriefing and portfolios and help develop self-directed learning. In your third year of medical school, you will start your clinical training at the hospital, supported by a tutor who will accompany you throughout the activities. You will also be able to access the Virgilio Programme for biomedical research, which allows you to integrate your curriculum with interdisciplinary seminars and interactive activities in the research laboratories.
