DI11A2D - MEDICAL GENETICS

a) to develop a methodology based on critical analysis in order to be able to discuss by description of landmark genetic experiments; b) to gain an harmonic and not dogmatic view of living being, to obtain a comprehensive picture of shared genetic, and morpho-functional features from viruses to humans.
DD 1: Knowledge and Understanding
At the end of the course the student will be able to: know and understand the theories, principles and practices of the discipline of medical genetics in the health and dietetic fields.


DD 2: Ability to apply knowledge and understanding
At the end of the course the student will be able to: apply the acquired knowledge to solve theoretical and clinical problems regarding genetic phenotypes, perform clinical tasks and interpret data in simulated contexts or descriptions of real conditions.


DD 3 Making judgements
At the end of the course the student will be able to: collect and evaluate data, verify hypotheses or clinical scenarios, to formulate judgements also on the basis of limited or incomplete or complex information regarding heredity and medical genetics.
DD 4 Communication Skills
At the end of the course the student will be able to: Effectively communicate medical genetics knowledge, information relevant to dietetics, clinical problems and solutions to specialist and non-specialist interlocutors and in different contexts.


DD 5 Learning Skills
At the end of the course the student will be able to: learn independently, to update oneself and to deal with new topics or even complex problems. The student will have the tools to independently evaluate the genetic data of a clinical problem and foresee possible procedures for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
