WELCOME Dear 1st year student, Welcome to the International Medical School of the University of Milan, located at and supported by Istituto Clinico Humanitas. You are starting a 6 years long journey, which will require a great deal of motivation, dedication, reflection and a strong will to succeed. Indeed, being a MD is not an easy task; so it is for the School, which has been designed to transform you, a young high school graduated, into a doctor, and to train you, since the very beginning, for a highly rewarding but also difficult everyday professional life. We are confident that you shall be able to perform successfully; we shall be always alongside with you in your journey. We would recommend reading carefully the General Information, in order to understand the principles of our School. Also, 1st year Guide will give you detailed information on your teachers, on the learning objectives of the blocks, on the timetable of your academic year. Finally, remember that learning and teaching without passion is not an effective way to proceed and that passion requires relationship. They are the two faces of the same process, i.e. your intellectual and professional growth. Therefore, consider your teachers not just as professors, but rather as coaches, with whom to proceed in your journey. So, do not be afraid to be passionate. We sincerely hope that we shall work together for the next 6 years, and that you shall become a responsible doctor, capable to effectively practice within the society you shall live in and work starting from the year 2018. It is a long way, but it is also a wonderful adventure into the future. Good luck! The Office for Medical Education, the Faculty and the Staff of the University of Milan and Istituto Clinico Humanitas. INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL SCHOOL STUDENT GUIDE - 5 - 2. SOME SUGGESTIONS 1) Start studying tonight and keep studying every day, weekends (partly) included. 2) Every evening check the timetable of the following day and give a look to the textbooks to better follow the lectures. 3) Read carefully the syllabus of each block, and plan your study accordingly. 4) Never procrastinate study until just prior to exams: this will generate poor results and inadequate professional growth. 5) If you fail to study daily, you must expect a poor outcome. 6) Do not skip or miss lectures or other activities. 7) Do not study by heart. Always strive to understand what you are studying, since even the simplest topic has a great impact on your professional standard. 8) Attend all scientific conferences. 9) Never quit to be curious and wonder. 10) Do not hesitate to ask for help, but only if you cannot make it by yourself. 11) Do not hesitate to email your teachers. 12) Do not be afraid to ask questions during lectures. 13) Always look for the clinical relevance of basic sciences. 14) Get used, if you are not, to MCQ. 15) Always remember: scientific research and knowledge are the basis for a good clinical practice. 16) Be passionate in studying and learning: it helps in remembering and understanding. 17) Always keep an eye on what it‟s happening inside yourself. 18) Enjoy your participation to group activities: by sharing you will learn a lot and more. 19) Take some breaks, time to time, to enjoy life. 20) Be good, if not, be careful.

INTRODUCTION TO MEDICAL PROFESSION - 1ST SEMESTER INTRODUCTION TO MEDICAL PROFESSION Professors: Battezzati, Bertazzi, Brancaccio, Lippi, Podda, Zannini Tutors: Lleo, Oldani, Montagna, Visioli Year/Semester 1st year ( 1st semester) Textbooks No textbook is required. Journal articles will be provided during lessons and a pdf copy of them will be available on the course‟s web site. Credits 4 Overview This block is aimed at introducing medical students to doctoring and professionalism in medical practice. Some pivotal concepts such as: health and disease; doctor-patient relationship; the impact of biomedical technologies on patient‟s illness; different models of medicine; curing and caring, will be interactively explored from a historical and a contemporary point of view. Since medical professionalism features not only knowledge and technical skills but also communication skills, responsiveness to patients and society, tolerance of ambiguity and anxiety, respect for patients and attentiveness, and critical curiosity and reflection, students will also be trained in a narrative-based perspective. This means that some novels, films and fine arts will be used in scheduled workshops as a fundamental tool for training students to „read‟ the patient and his experience and to analyse their personal reactions to illness and suffering. Furthermore, students (mentored by doctors) will be given the opportunity to observe patients in the clinical context to deepen the illness experience. They will be asked to keep a journal of their clinical uploads/Litterature/ 1st-year-student-guide.pdf
