International Medical School Tor Vergata

Clinical Practice (CP2) 🩺

Here are some highlights from the CP2 activities carried out by our second-year Medicine and Surgery students following their blood sampling training.
Starting from the second year, students begin attending the University Hospital, progressively integrating theoretical knowledge with hands-on clinical experience. These practical activities represent an important step in their medical education, allowing them to develop essential clinical skills under the guidance of healthcare professionals.

A valuable opportunity to bridge classroom learning and patient-centered practice from the very beginning of their medical journey.

The Faculty of Medicine and Surgery is pleased to invite the academic community to the upcoming seminar: “Health Beyond Healthcare: A Conversation with Michael Marmot on Equity, Policy, and Multidisciplinary Action.”
Professor Marmot (Institute of Health Equity) will address the critical intersections of health equity, public policy, and the multidisciplinary strategies needed to tackle systemic health inequalities. This is a premier academic opportunity to engage with foundational public health concepts that directly impact clinical outcomes.

Final-year medical students recently completed an intensive three-day certification program in BLSD (Basic Life Support and Defibrillation) and ACCLS (Advanced Cardiovascular and Cerebral Life Support) at CESMA, conducted by Salvamento Academy
The curriculum was designed to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and clinical urgency, structured into two core components:
* Theoretical Framework: Comprehensive review of the latest international guidelines for cardiovascular and respiratory resuscitation.
* High-Fidelity Simulation: Practical sessions utilized advanced, technologically integrated mannequins. This allowed students to manage complex emergency scenarios with real-time monitoring of vital parameters, including:
* Endotracheal intubation and advanced airway management.
* Manual and automatic defibrillation.
* Intraosseous (IO) access procedures.
* Chest compressions and hemodynamic stabilization.
A fundamental pillar of the training was Crisis Resource Management (CRM), emphasizing the critical importance of team leadership and coordinated communication during cardiac arrest and acute clinical deterioration.
This program ensures that our future physicians transition into residency with the technical proficiency and decision-making skills required for emergency medicine.

Artificial Intelligence in Medical Education – National Survey

The Department of Life, Health and Environmental Sciences (MESVA) of the Università degli Studi dell’Aquila invites medical students to participate in a national web-based survey on the use, perceptions, and study strategies related to Artificial Intelligence in medical education.

The study aims to better understand how AI is integrated into university study and exam preparation, contributing to the development of future educational strategies.

The questionnaire is anonymous, takes approximately 4–5 minutes to complete, and has been approved by the Multidisciplinary Internal Review Board (MIRB) of the Università degli Studi dell’Aquila.

Participation may be recognized with 0.1 CFU (ADO/Electives).

Open to all students enrolled in Medicine and Surgery programs in Italy.
