ENGLISH VERSION
Learning Objectives
- Otorhinolaryngology
Knowledge of the notions of specialist anatomy-physiology and of the main pathologies of the nose, pharynx, larynx and auditory apparatus with phoniatric impact.
- Audiology
Administer useful knowledge for the acquisition of notions useful for the accomplishment of the speech therapy activity in relation to the disturbances due to alterations in the auditory canal.
- Bioengineering
The student will be introduced to the main approaches and methodologies used within bioengineering. Some mathematical and computational models for the analysis of biological systems will be introduced. The student will learn some mathematical and computational tools for the treatment of these models.
