A University Hospital

University

Teaching is written in the DNA of the Policlinico di Milano: Luigi Mangiagalli, physician at the Policlinico, founded the Università degli Studi di Milano. In fact it is the university centre of reference for training of physicians and professionals with the degree course in Medicine and Surgery and many other courses in health-related professions.

Training includes research and healthcare assistance thus playing a role in maintaining the high standards of health service. The close connection between treatment, research and teaching is also achieved thanks to specialized equipment located in the new operating theatres: surgeries are filmed with cameras (protecting the patients privacy) and transmitted on a high definition monitor both in rooms arranged alongside the operating theatres and other surgical rooms of the Policlinico and on the premises of the bodies that collaborate on an international basis.

The video recording system allows remote participation to national and international courses and meetings, as well as the creation of an educational platform for medical schools.
