Description and Teaching Objectives
This Degree trains healthcare professionals in rehabilitation who perform activities aimed at prevention, care, rehabilitation and functional evaluation procedures for individuals with mental disabilities and the whole community.
Students are provided with appropriate training in basic disciplines to understand the main features of pathological processes on which rehabilitative interventions focus. In particular, students develop skills regarding biochemical, physical, statistical, anatomical, physiological, pathological, clinical, surgical, psychological and sociological issues. They can hence acquire solid basic knowledge of integrated biological aspects and functions relating to human organs and systems. This includes statistical methods to detect phenomena regulating human personal and social life, as well as the concepts of emergency and first aid in close interaction with the studied disciplines. Such training is completed through skills typical of Psychiatry, Language, Child Neuropsychiatry, Psychology and Neurology.
At the end of the course students shall be able to carry out rehabilitative and educational interventions for individuals with mental disabilities as part of a therapeutic project developed in a multidisciplinary team.
Professional skills are achieved through theoretical and practical training including the acquisition of proper behaviour in a specific working context relevant to each professional profile, so as to ensure mastery of the required skills and their use in the workplace.
Course attendance is mandatory for all activities - both theoretical classes and traineeship.
Career Opportunities
This Degree qualifies graduates as Technicians of Psychiatric Rehabilitation, i.e. healthcare operators who perform educational and rehabilitative interventions for individuals with mental disabilities in collaboration with a multi-professional team.
