Orientation in academic and professional life

The objectives of the tutoring dell 'Università Campus Bio-Medico di Roma they fit into a very broad framework, in coherence with the philosophy that the educational task is always "a service to the person as a whole" and that teaching and learning experiences require a space dedicated to personal orientation. All this in order to guarantee each student personalized training that allows the expression of all her potential, both on a human and professional level.

In this perspective UCBM, in addition to the disciplinary tutor and the clinical tutor, offers its students a service of personal tutoring incoming, ongoing and outgoing through scheduled and on-demand individual interviews, as well as specific group initiatives. Personal tutors are professors from the three Departmental Faculties, doctors, engineers, nurses, technicians, specialists, researchers, PhD students and final year students. They are identified each year by the Departmental Faculty Boards through the tutoring coordinators of the individual Degree Courses. The assignment of the personal tutor lasts one year.

The personal tutor

The personal tutor guides the student to identify the resources and potential at his/her disposal to develop his/her own learning skills, to manage any difficulties and to take active responsibility. He/She follows him/her and helps him/her to face different stages of his/her university career, framing them in a broader motivational and value-based context:

  • inclusion in the life of the University;
  • the use of time, work organization and learning methodologies;
  • exam planning and self-assessment of the results achieved;
  • motivation, self-efficacy and relationship with teachers;
  • educational and learning goals

In this sense, the personal tutoring relationship, in addition to providing operational strategies, is also an opportunity for dialogue to deepen self-knowledge, understood as a personal style, with respect to the course of study and professional future.

The tutor provides the students with professional guidance for an effective entry into the world of work, in relation to their personal skills and attitudes. In particular, He/She promotes the development of soft skills (self-awareness, critical sense, effective communication, decision-making ability and problem solving), which allow students to operate with competence both on an individual level and on a social and professional level.
