Student assessment consists of an oral examination in Pharmacology and an oral examination in General Anesthesiology and Medical-Surgical Emergencies.

In order to pass the exam, students must demonstrate adequate theoretical knowledge of the course content and the ability to communicate the acquired knowledge clearly and appropriately. Passing the course requires a positive result in both examinations, with a minimum grade of 18/30 for each module. The final course grade will be calculated as the average of the grades obtained in the two examinations, provided that both are passed.

Pharmacology

An in-course assessment covering general pharmacology will be conducted before the end of the course. The final assessment consists of an oral examination including both broad and specific questions. Students are expected to demonstrate a sound understanding of the fundamental principles of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, mechanisms of drug toxicity in healthy individuals and patients, and the main characteristics of the therapeutic classes addressed during the course.

Clarity, completeness, and the ability to synthesize information—also through the use of diagrams and graphs—will be positively evaluated. The final grade for this module will be calculated as the average of the grade obtained in the in-course assessment (if successfully passed) and the grade obtained in the final oral examination, which will focus on clinical pharmacology topics. If the in-course assessment is not passed, students will be required to take a single oral examination covering both general and clinical pharmacology. All grades are expressed on a 30-point scale, with 18/30 as the minimum passing grade.

General Anesthesiology and Medical-Surgical Emergencies

Assessment consists of a written examination in the form of a multiple-choice test. A passing grade is achieved by obtaining a score of 18/30, corresponding to correctly answering at least 60% of the questions.
