The course is divided into three years and is composed of a didactic part, in which the student learns the main pathologies and how to provide health care and of a practical internship activity, with increasing degrees of involvement and complexity, which prepares the student to manage any welfare problem concerning the individual or the community. The sanitary approach to a diverse linguistic community is enhanced by the study of the Italian langauage through the Degree's 1st and the 2nd Year.
