The course is based on lectures using .ppt set with schemes, material taken from international literature, images and videos. The projection of films will make the development of some tic diagnosis processes and therapeutic choices better understandable. To promote critical reflection, the lessons will take place step by step with an intense promotion of interactivity in order to guide and optimize the judgment and orientation in the analysis of the clinical scenario that will be declined from time to time. To allow students the possibility of self-assessment, at the end of each macro-topic, questions with multiple choice questions and / or schematic algorithms may be proposed in the classroom to summarize the fundamental "take-home massages" in order to guarantee, even to those who he will not carry out his profession in a specialist field, an adequate cultural background that can optimize patient care.
