The main objective of the PhD Course in "Advanced Technologies in Surgery" is to train researchers capable of independently carrying out experimental and clinical research, creating a theoretical-practical, experimental and clinical path that allows PhD students to learn updated diagnostic-therapeutic methods and to apply these methodologies to research projects aimed at solving etiopathogenetic, diagnostic and therapeutic problems in the surgical, ENT or urological fields. For this reason, a Board of Teachers is proposed in which surgical, ENT and urological skills are represented, where the Teachers collaborate with each other and with the most qualified national and international Departments, through the integration of different skills.
All this favors international scientific production with those characteristics of surgical science that characterize the Doctorate, a guarantee for the training of the Doctoral student together with the close integration between the care units (wards, clinics) and research laboratories of the different Departments. A logistical structure capable of achieving the training objectives both in terms of experimental research and in clinical terms. No less important is the research part abroad, where the teachers invite the doctoral students to go for a period of training and research.
The Research Doctorate aims to develop theoretical and applied scientific skills in surgeons who are able, at the end of the course, to independently plan, conduct, analyze and conclude research projects. Provide young graduates in Medicine and Surgery with scientific and technological training, through the learning of tested and innovative diagnostic and operational technologies in the field of general surgery, pathology of the digestive and vascular system, of the urinary and male genital system, of the hearing organs, phonation and neck, and which produce scientific publications and other products of both scientific and technological research.
The PhD in “Advanced Technologies in Surgery” is divided into 3 Curriculum:
Curriculum A: Advanced Technologies in Surgery;
Curriculum B: Neck Organ Pathologies and Biocompatibility;
Curriculum C: Surgery.
The scientific-disciplinary sectors are:
General surgery
Otolaryngology
Urology
You can access the Research Doctorate by passing a public competition.
Candidates who, at the time of the deadline indicated in the announcement, are in possession of an old system degree or a specialist or master's degree or similar academic qualification, even if obtained abroad and recognized as equivalent by the College, can participate in the admission competition. of the Teachers for the sole purpose of admission to the Doctoral Course. From the 2022-2023 academic year, simultaneous enrollment is possible: in a doctorate and in both a medical and non-medical specialization school.
During the three years of the course, the PhD student must have achieved high level skills, such as:
• Development of adequate and updated basic cultural knowledge,
• Theoretical and practical learning of methodologies;
• Acquisition of scientific leadership skills through research, planning and development of research projects
• scientific preparation with full possession of scientific investigation methods and techniques with respect to the topics of study and their clinical and surgical application.
The training course includes "internships" at qualified international research centres, with the learning of research and diagnosis methods and techniques, following a process which, starting from clinical research, develops knowledge and methodologies for the understanding and possible treatment of clinical events.
The basis of the theoretical course will initially be aimed at the acquisition of clinical research methodologies, including statistical analyzes in current use, and subsequently in developing the current pathophysiological knowledge of diseases, with particular attention to neoplastic diseases and pathophysiological conditions induced by interventions surgical.
In the field of diseases of surgical interest, both basic research problems will be addressed, including knowledge of molecular genetics, immune and neuroendocrine mechanisms, as well as new therapeutic strategies and the development of innovative and minimally invasive surgical methodologies. The practical part will include the attendance of doctoral students in the laboratories, in the wards and in the operating rooms, connected with teachers belonging to the course.
