What it is

Taught in English in Venice over six years, the course takes a holistic view of the person, with attention to health promotion, preventive medicine and global health. Learning follows integrated pathways with active student involvement, and a clinical approach begins in the first year, to prepare doctors for multicultural healthcare settings. Typical early subjects in a medical degree include anatomy, physiology and biochemistry. Graduates can enter specialist training programmes in Italy and practise in public or private healthcare facilities, independently or in teams.
