The single-cycle master's degree course in Medicine and Surgery, conducted in lingua ingForest, offers its members an adequate theoretical-practical preparation in all areas of medicine. The training objective is identified with a both biomedical and psycho-social training, bearer of an interdisciplinary and integrated vision of the greats issues related to the health of the individual and the community. Particular emphasis will be given to the multi-ethnic and globalizing dimension of contemporary society, with specific reference to the variety of values and cultural aspects and their impact on different social and health systems.

The study of pre-clinical disciplines will make use of a practical approach based on laboratory activities and exercises carried out since the first two years, integrating morphology with physiology, in order to better understand the practical applications of the notions of genetics, molecular biology and biochemistry. The teaching method is mainly centered on practical and professionalizing activities that allow the student to come into contact with the patient and the medical environment that surrounds him as soon as possible, these elements being essential for developing problem-solving skills.ing.
The course is organized in 12 semesters. In the first two years, two large courses are held dedicated to basic and preclinical training and therefore aimed at the knowledge of biology, genetics, biological chemistry, histology, human anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology, and the complementary humanistic training, therefore aimed at the knowledge of anthropology, ethics, history of medicine, psychology and human sciences. From the third year the clinical practice begins. The characteristic of the integrated clinical practice courses is to introduce pharmacology, diagnostic imaging and pathological anatomy, which integrate with the various clinical subjects, and are provided during this year as well as in the 4th and 5th °. During the sixth year, full involvement in clinical activity is expected with particular attention to general emergencies, general surgery, and basic medicine, as well as the importance of the role of health economics in the management of care resources, with a view not limited to to the Italian reality but open to the different national realities and related resource allocation methods.
