Economy and International Social Politics
(objectives)
The aim of the course is to provide to students knowledge on historical development of Medicine, on different approaches suitable for cost-consequences analysis and on the principal features of the Italian national health care system. Also, students will develop attitudes and values such as humility, tolerance, understanding, respect and openness towards others through philosophical, moral reflection and moral reasoning. LEARNING OUTCOMES The aim of the course is to provide students with tools and a framework in which they can place the good “health” in a common context with ethics, economics, history of Medicine and all the relevant elements for patient care so that tomorrow they will be able to treat their patient in an appropriate way to his being a person. In a sector characterized by a constant and rapid evolution, students will acquire the ability to understand the main problems, also through the use of different specific tools. They will learn peculiar languages so to understand how health is an interdisciplinary theme. At the end of the course participants will be able to provide an effective contribution to the preparation of documents, reports and measures, as well as to develop appropriate interdisciplinary strategies on ethics and health. The course intends to provide a training programme aimed at ensuring, through specific focus, the most current and relevant issues in the field of health and ethics, especially in light of global changes and modified international agendas such as sustainable Millennium Development Goals 2030 (MDGs).
Applying knowledge and understanding: The general objective of the integrated course "Economy and International Social Politics" is to learn the experimental method and its applications to the study. Therefore, the course aims to arouse the ability to perform precise and documented observations and to make a correct critical analysis in order to derive verifiable generalizations. At the end of the course the student will be able to apply the experimental method.
Communication skills: The student will be able to demonstrate that he/she has learned an appropriate scientific language for the purposes of correct and rigorous communication. He will be able to describe the main models of the different topics with a correct terminology.
Making judgements: At the end of the course, the student will be able to develop autonomously the logical procedures and strategies that allow to apply the experimental method, analyze and correctly interpret experimental data. Furthermore, he will have acquired the ability to synthesize and correlate the various topics and to critically use different methodologies. Learning skills: The student will have acquired skills and learning methods suitable for the deepening and improvement of their skills in Ethics, Economics and History of Medicine. At the end of the course the student will have developed the ability to deepen the topics through the consultation of the scientific literature. Matrix.

Module: MORAL PHILOSOPHY
(objectives)
La materia introduce differenti temi di Filosofia Morale in una visione sistematica. La medicina, come anche le professioni sanitarie, pur basandosi sulla conoscenza scientifica, non si riducono completamente alla scienza. Come sostenuto dal filosofo austriaco Josef Seifert”... si fondano anche sull’osservazione il più possibile ripetuta e ampia di fenomeni sensibili, e cercano di elaborare teorie che li spieghino. La medicina non è una scienza pura, perché ha uno scopo pratico. E non è neppure una mera scienza empirica, perché presuppone una fondazione filosofica tanto quanto le altre scienze e molto più delle altre scienze...”. La medicina, e tutte le scienze mediche, infatti richiedono una fondazione filosofica molto più di altre scienze, perché suo oggetto è l’essere umano, anzi per la maggior parte dei casi l’essere umano nella condizione di sofferenza e bisognoso di aiuto. Josef Seifert sostiene che ”... Per capire se stessa la medicina deve aver trovato la risposta alla domanda: chi è l’uomo? E per trovare questa risposta la scienza non è sufficiente, è necessario fare riferimento a concetti tratti dall’antropologia e apre necessariamente a questioni etiche...” Nei prossimi anni la medicina e le professioni sanitarie saranno chiamate a nuove ed importanti sfide come la realizzazione degli obiettivi internazionali presenti nell’Agenda 2030 per uno sviluppo sostenibile: 17 obiettivi di sviluppo sostenibile (OSS/SDGs, Sustainable Development Goals) e i 169 sotto-obiettivi, i quali presentantano come obiettivo 3 specifico il miglioramento della salute ma mirano a porre fine alla povertà, a lottare contro l'ineguaglianza e allo sviluppo sociale ed economico, i cambiamenti climatici e costruire società pacifiche entro l'anno 2030. Al medico dunque non sara’ solo richiesta non solo profonda conoscenza scientifica, ma anche una più ampia conoscenza dei legami costanti con filosofica ed etica. Infatti come ben sottolineato in alcune recenti pubblicazioni dall’Universita’ di Stanford: "…the core moral challenge of health as balancing individual liberties with the advancement of good health outcomes. Consider, for example, how liberties are treated in government policies that fluoridate municipal drinking water or compel people with active, infectious tuberculosis to be treated…”. Scopo del Corso e’ di fornire agli studenti gli strumenti e una cornice nella quale possano posizionare il “bene salute” in un contesto comune con etica, diritti umani e tutti gli elementi rilevanti per la cura del paziente- economici, antropologici, sociali e relazionali- affinche’ un domani possano trattare il paziente in modo adeguato a ciò che egli è come persona. Gli studenti, in un settore caratterizzato da una costante e rapidissima evoluzione, acquisiranno la capacità di comprendere le principali problematiche, anche attraverso l'utilizzo di diversi strumenti specifici. Apprenderanno i linguaggi peculiari, comprendendo anche come il tema della salute sia interdisciplinare. Alla fine del corso i partecipanti saranno in grado di fornire un efficace contributo alla predisposizione di documenti, relazioni, e provvedimenti, nonché di elaborare adeguate strategie interdisciplinari in tema di etica e salute.
