Study Abroad - Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Pathophysiology

Cardiopulmonary health and disease strictly depend on a dynamic interplay between genes, ageing, lifestyle and risk factors. In multidisciplinary sessions, basic and clinical themes regarding established achievements and emerging research directions will be addressed. The need for integration of knowledge finalized to better research and clinical outcome will be highlighted.
Course format
Our Summer School includes a theoretical and a practical part. Plenary lectures will represent the core of the Course (Course A). Hands-on-sessions and live demonstrations from diagnostic and pathophysiologic cardiovascular and pulmonary laboratories will provide an overview on various up-to-date techniques in the clinical research setting.
The main course will be followed by a one-week internship at the clinical units of the Cardiac and Pulmonary University Units (Course B, optional, reserved to 25 applicants upon request).
