12 Surgery Doctoral Degree Programs

The Degree in Medicine (MD) program at ASOMI College of Sciences School of Medicine is meticulously designed to provide comprehensive medical education and training. This prestigious program is conducted in English and Italian, catering to a diverse student body and ensuring accessibility for a broader range of students. The curriculum is carefully crafted to cover all essential areas of medical science, combining theoretical knowledge with practical skills to prepare future medical professionals thoroughly.

The DMed degree is conferred by virtue of a thesis and, if the Dean deems it necessary, an examination on the field of study of the thesis.

The Study program Experimental surgery is aimed at studying the theoretical foundations of medical disciplines that use surgical procedures in the broadest sense. The topic of the research is molecular, structural, metabolic, and pathophysiological changes of damaged cells, tissues, and organs which take place during the development of pathological processes, possibly with their experimental induction, and which are surgically affected. Special attention is paid to issues of reparations and healing of various tissue structures. These processes will be explored in genetical, immunological, and endocrinological contexts. Based on the above specialization, experimental surgery will be established topics for graduate studies in various medical fields (disciplines - surgery, orthopedics, urology, plastic surgery, gynecology and obstetrics, otorhinolaryngology). Specific topics in various specializations will be determined by the supervisor always combined clinical and theoretical work.

The goal of the studies in Experimental surgery is the training of the students for independent scientific as well as practical work in the field. The study will provide the doctorands with absolute knowledge of theoretical fields, cell biology, pharmacology, immunology, medical chemistry and biochemistry, physiology and pathology, basic laboratory technology as well as the latest laboratory technology in the field, and above all professional knowledge in the areas of children surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, surgery, neurosurgery, ophthalmology, orthopedics, otorhinolaryngology, plastic surgery, stomatology, and urology. The graduates will be capable to set the hypothesis for scientific work, choosing relevant methods for verification of the hypothesis, performing the practical tasks needed, scientifically evaluating and subsequently publishing the results in scientific journals with an impact factor, give talks and presentations at professional conferences, symposiums, and congresses. The graduates will have good prospects for careers in the surgical specialty, for achieving further scientific and educational grades, and participating in the independent development of the field. The program is carried out without any specialization.

Over the last two decades, experimental surgery has undergone substantial development following the advancements of its related fields, which considerably extended its research possibilities. These related fields include oncology, anesthesiology, intensive medicine, imaging methods, molecular biology, tissue engineering, biomechanics, software modeling, etc. These fields enabled the research spectrum of experimental surgery to encompass for example experimental treatment of cancer and non-cancerous diseases, and research of artificial organs. Such progress is also allowed to be an up-to-date implementation of the “3Rs” principle of work with experimental animals. The basic domain is the understanding of the methods and procedures of experimental surgery in conjunction with the bordering fields mentioned above. The connection to the clinical fields is crucial as well, as these often define the research questions and apply the results of the research. All of these fields are available for science and research activities.

This is the four-year programme that, on completion, allows the incumbent to register with HPCSA as a specialist maxillofacial and oral surgeon. The programme offers specialised training in maxillofacial and oral surgery. In addition, UP registrars are exposed and trained in the sub-speciality fields like head and neck oncology and cleft deformities of the face.

The Medicine and Surgery program is offered by Università Cattolica in collaboration with Claudia Polo Universitario delle Professioni Sanitarie. Lectures are conducted at Claudiana, located in Bolzano, the capital of the South Tyrol region. The students of the new degree program will have access to state-of-the-art facilities and a qualified faculty, benefiting from the experience of doctors and researchers from the A. Gemelli University Hospital and the clinical training opportunities provided by local facilities.
