(objectives)
APPLIED TECHNICAL AND MEDICAL SCIENCES Learning objective is the knowledge of the technologies of diagnostic imaging available today, the technical and practical aspects, the radiation protection aspects and any precautions necessary for the pediatric field for the implementation of radiological practices to support the rehabilitation process are essential objectives. The course aims to provide every element useful for knowing how to use radiological imaging appropriately. These objectives will be achieved through lectures designed to facilitate learning and improve the ability to face and solve the main questions relating to diagnostic imaging in pediatric age. Exercises, group work, consultation of audio/video teaching material complete the activities and lectures, so that the notional aspects can be integrated by practical and experiential knowledge.
GENERAL AND SPECIALIZED PEDIATRICS The course intends to promote specific learning about physiology and most important pathologies of neonatal and pediatric age. Specific attention will be dedicated to pre-natal and neonatal care, physiology of neonatal transition at birth, promotion of breast-feeding and prevention of neonatal and pediatric injuries.
LOCOMOTIVE SYSTEM Orthopaedics is the specialty that treats diseases or injuries of the body's musculoskeletal system. This system includes bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves and allows you to move, walk and be active. The course is focused about learning the most important and frequent pathologies in pediatric orthopedics and preparing the student to manage all the essentials pre and post trauma/surgery to regain a full healing. A physiotherapist plays an essential role within the multidisciplinary team of doctors, nurses, occupational therapists, psychologists and play therapists. The aim of the course is to teach how the physiotherapy gets joints and muscles moving and gains functional skills, such as learning to walk with crutches or a frame. An experienced physiotherapist will complete an assessment of all children who are going to have orthopaedic surgery. The physiotherapy assessment is essential in aiding decision-making regarding surgery or other recommendations. It also allows us to prepare the family and the child for surgery, answer questions, and plan what help and further physiotherapy might be needed after you are discharged home. A physiotherapist will help the child after surgery to regain mobility and independence in order to be discharged home.
CHILD NEUROLOGY The fundamental goals are the following: • to acquire adequate scientific knowledge necessary to correctly classify and de-fine the most frequently diagnosed child neuropsychiatric disorders in clinical practice; • to comprehend the main neuroanatomical and pathophysiological mechanisms responsible of child neuropsychiatric disorders; • to acquire a good clinical approach to manage child neuropsychiatric disorders in rehabilitation clinical settings.
