Instructional exercises and elective teaching activities are held at the laboratory for second-cycle degree courses in Medicine, and Dentistry and Orthodontics, and for Health Professions degree courses.
Some examples:
1) Denomination:ELECTIVE DIDACTIC ACTIVITIES (ADE) "THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD: VERIFYING PRINCIPLES OF FLUIDSTATICS AND FLUIDODYNAMICS"
Physical Sciences degree course:Integrated Physics.
SSD: Applied Physics (A Cultural heritage, Environmental, Biology and Medicine) (Fis/07) - CFU 1 -
Aimed at: 1st year students of the second-cycle degree course in Medicine.
Organization: Prof. Stefano Bettati and Dr. Mario Ghillani.
Objective: For the ADE Course planned for the second-cycle degree course in Medicine, the pathway is "To introduce the student to the fundamentals of the experimental method in the basic and applied sciences of medicine, with particular reference to fluidostatics and fluid dynamics." The pathway is divided into small group teaching exercises on topics that from time to time take up theoretical principles introduced in the frontal classes of Physics applied to medicine. In this sense, the purpose of the pathway is twofold: to foster students' familiarity with the principles and practice of the scientific method, and to consolidate by means of practical exercises their understanding of physical phenomena relevant to the physiology of the human body. The course concludes with a verification of the level of understanding and learning of the topics covered by means of a written report, which is evaluated in consultation with the professors in charge of the course.
Students of reference:Medicine degree course
Number of students per a.y.: max 40 students
Notes: Internship is run for groups of ten students (ante covid), 5 events.
2) Denomination: LABORATORY OF APPLIED PHYSICS
Second-cycle degree course in Dentistry and Orthodontics: Applied Physics course
SSD: Applied Physics (A Cultural heritage, Environmental, Biology, and Medicine) (Phys/07) - CFU 6-
Aimed at: 1st-year students in the second-cycle degree course in Dentistry and Orthodontics.
Organization: Prof. Giuseppe Pedrazzi, Prof. Luca Ronda and Dr. Mario Ghillani
Objective:To introduce the student to the study and application of the experimental method in the basic sciences, a fundamental tool of investigation in every scientific discipline with particular reference to fluidostatics, fluid dynamics and electricity. The course is divided into small-group teaching exercises on topics that from time to time take up theoretical principles introduced in the frontal classes of the course unit of Physics applied to medicine. Laboratory exercises are aimed at experimental verification of fundamental physical laws with the purpose of introducing students to the practice of logical thinking and the experimental method. In this sense, the purpose of the course is twofold: to foster students' familiarity with the principles and practice of the scientific method, and to consolidate by means of practical exercises their understanding of physical phenomena relevant to the physiology of the human body. The course concludes with a verification of the level of understanding and learning of the topics covered by means of a written report, which is evaluated in consultation with the professors in charge of the course.
