Medicina e chirurgia

Medicine and Surgery trains students to become physicians, combining foundational biomedical science with clinical training across the range of medical specialties. Typical subjects include anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology, and pathology in the earlier stages of study, moving toward clinical disciplines such as internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, and psychiatry as training progresses, alongside supervised clinical practice in hospital and outpatient settings. Students are trained to take patient histories, perform physical examinations, interpret diagnostic tests, and understand the scientific basis for treatment decisions across a wide range of medical conditions. Because medicine is a heavily regulated profession, training of this kind is long and structured, combining classroom study, laboratory work, and direct clinical exposure under supervision. Graduates who complete this pathway and any further required licensing or specialization steps typically go on to practice as physicians, either in general medicine or, after further specialization, in a specific medical or surgical field. This master's program in Medicine and Surgery is offered by UNISR - Università Vita Salute San Raffaele, located in Milano, Italy, and is taught in English over six years, reflecting the extended, integrated structure used for medical degrees rather than the typical bachelor's-plus-master's pattern seen in other fields. Admission is limited to a fixed number of places, a common arrangement for medical programs given the resources needed for clinical training, and a secondary school diploma is required to apply. Teaching the program in English is intended to make it accessible to students from outside Italy who are pursuing a medical degree, while training takes place within the Italian healthcare and academic system based in Milano.
