However swiftly it passes, youth is always with us, a perpetual passing phase, an apprenticeship to the myriad ways of the world, subject of panegyrics and diatribes, romances and cautionary tales from antiquity to our day.

Insegnare la Medicina Interna ai medici di oggi e di domani conduce necessariamente docenti e discenti a confrontarsi con le innovazioni metodologiche che la Medicina basata sulle evidenze (Evidence-Based Medicine, EBM) e lo sviluppo degli strumenti della Clinical Governance hanno introdotto nel processo decisionale clinico; consensualmente l’insegnamento della Clinica Medica puo’ essere proficuamente svolto realizzando una sintesi tra l’ormai consolidato "problem solving" e l’innovazione proposta dall’EBM. Questo volume, dedicato agli Studenti in Medicina che v
