Learning Objectives

Endocrinology
To know the pathophysiological mechanisms, the principles of diagnosis and therapy of endocrine diseases and of the metabolism indicated in the program with particular reference to the implications linked to nutrition and lifestyle.
Pharmacology
The aim of this course is the knowledge for the general mechanisms of drugs action, the principles of pharmacokinetics, the adverse effects and the more important pharmacological interactions. After completing this module, students gain understanding the main pharmacological and pharmacotherapeutic mechanisms of different classes of drugs.
NUTRITION IN METABOLIC, CARDIOVASCULAR AND RENAL DISEASES
To provide knowledge for nutritional and therapeutic management of patients with metabolic, cardio-vascular and kidney diseases.
