Ora a distanza di quasi due semestri mi sento molto pi\u00f9 sicura in qualsiasi esercizio mi chiedano di svolgere. Il mio modo di pensare \u00e8 cambiato radicalmente da settembre ad ora, adesso appeno sento dei sintomi sono subito focalizzata sulle possibili diagnosi differenziali e ho imparato a guidare la conversazione per raccogliere tutte le informazioni importanti.<\/p>\n<p>Fino a inizio novembre siamo potuti andare a lezione in presenza nel nuovo campus, che avevamo tutto per noi e in realt\u00e0 stavano ancora finendo di costruire, poi per\u00f2 sono iniziate le lezioni online, durante le quali, per me almeno, non sempre \u00e8 stato facile ascoltare e mantenere un buon livello di motivazione.<\/p>\n<p>Bench\u00e9 ci fossero tutte le restrizioni a causa del COVID-19, abbiamo avuto la fortuna di poter sempre andare in ospedale per le giornate cliniche e per me questo \u00e8 stato davvero importante e positivo, considerando soprattutto che, la maggior parte delle altre universit\u00e0 ha bloccato questo tipo di lezioni. Inoltre, grazie a queste due giornate avevamo la possibilit\u00e0 di vedere e parlare con altri compagni, cosa che con le lezioni online a me manca moltissimo.<\/p>\n<p>Tutto sommato credo sia stato un buon primo semestre e le mie aspettative sono state pi\u00f9 che superate e sono felice che l&#8217;esame di ammissione abbia preso questa decisione per me.<\/p>\n\t<p>English<\/p>\n<p>As we all know, in september the first semester of the Master of Medicine at the Universit\u00e0 della svizzera italiana started, and from the very first day, at the sports center in Tenero, I immediately noticed the incredible enthusiasm of all the professors and members of the deanery.<\/p>\n<p>The introductory weeks were a great help to start settling in, getting to know our classmates and returning to the school routine in attendance that we had been missing for a whole semester.<\/p>\n<p>On the first Tuesday at the hospital I was super nervous and afraid of doing anything wrong, but I soon realized that the tutor was not there to judge us, but rather to let us do, let us make mistakes and then discuss together what we could do better. Now, almost two semesters later, I feel much more confident in whatever exercise I am asked to perform. My way of thinking has changed radically in these few months, now as soon as I hear symptoms I am immediately focused on possible differential diagnoses and I have learned to guide the conversation to gather all the important information.<\/p>\n<p>Until the beginning of november we were able to go to classes in the new campus, which we had all to ourselves and were actually still in the process of building, but then the online classes started, during which, for me at least, it was not always easy to listen and maintain a good level of motivation.<\/p>\n<p>Although there were all the restrictions because of COVID-19, we were lucky enough to always be able to go to the hospital for the clinical days and for me that was really important and positive, especially considering that most other universities blocked these kind of classes. Also, thanks to these two days we had the chance to see and talk to other classmates, something that I miss a lot being always at home during online classes.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, I think it was a good first semester and my expectations were more than exceeded and I&#8217;m glad that the entrance exam made this decision for me.<\/p>\n\t<b>&#8220;Yes, it would have been easier, but I would have let the chance of a lifetime slip away!&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/b>by Adriano Caflisch, Bachelor at University Basel\n\t<p>Rhaeto-Romanic<\/p>\n<p>\u00dcn p\u00f4 d&#8217;intschertezza e gniervusited d&#8217;eiran ad\u00fcna preschaints d\u00fcraint la sted passeda.

I had just disenrolled from the university of Basel and was moving to Ticino with lots of question marks regarding my future there in a new master program nobody knew yet. Wouldn&#8217;t it have been easier just to stay in that place I had known for the last four years?<\/p>\n<p>Yes, it would have been easier, but I would have let the chance of a lifetime slip away!<\/p>\n<p>The uncertainty towards the USI vanished after the three introduction days at the centro sportivo Tenero. The responsibles did a fantastic job in making us get to know one another &#8211; students, employees and professors &#8211; with a lakeside barbecue on Monday, a theater visit on Tuesday and an ap\u00e9ro on Wednesday. From the beginning, there was a sence of community among this newly born faculty of medicine like I had never encountered before.<\/p>\n<p>And that feeling has been present everywhere, even after the first year in this master program. Every week we have the possibility to discuss the case of a patient with doctors and professors in small groups without having to be afraid of making mistakes or being critisized because we know that with their help we are developping and improving ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>The same applies to the two clinical days we spend at the hospital every week. The tutors show us their working process and give us an introduction in their individual clinical speciality. That way we students are able to see even more different specializations than we would be able to see during our elective terms.<\/p>\n<p>I am proud to be a part of this master program and would choose Lugano again without hesitation!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<b>&#8220;Even if Lugano was not my favourite, it definitely turned into it.&#8221;<\/b>\n<p>by Alessandra Pfister, Bachelor at ETH Zurich<\/p>\n\t<p>German<\/p>\n<p>Wie bei vielen von uns, war auch f\u00fcr mich Lugano nicht die 1. Wahl und f\u00fcr lange Zeit das wohl oder \u00fcbel gezogene Los. Doch schon bei der Wohnungssuche im Fr\u00fchjahr 2020 hat sich das schnell ge\u00e4ndert. Denn damit hat mein Kapitel &#8220;Ticino&#8221; begonnen. Obwohl das Besichtigen von Wohnungen mit COVID-19 und am anderen Ende der Schweiz etwas kompliziert war, hat sich schnell das Gef\u00fchl von einem abenteuerlichen Neuanfang breit gemacht.<\/p>\n<p>Als wir dann im September endlich starten konnten, waren alle Vorbehalte gegen\u00fcber dem Tessin verflogen. Die Einf\u00fchrungstage in Tenero haben dazu noch alles \u00fcbertroffen.<\/p>\n<p>Was ich sehr sch\u00e4tze ist, dass wir mit knapp 50 Studierenden wie eine grosse Klasse sind. Man kennt sich und der Zusammenhalt ist super. Ein weiterer Vorteil ist, dass alle Mitstudierenden in wenigen Gehminuten entfernt wohnen. Das macht auch das Leben neben dem Studium einmalig und bestimmt nie langweilig.<\/p>\n<p>Zudem hat auch Lugano und das Tessin einiges zu bieten. Das Wetter ist (fast immer) traumhaft und l\u00e4dt zu vielen Aktivit\u00e4ten im Freien ein. An freien Nachmittagen f\u00fchlt es sich teilweise immer noch wie Ferien in Italien an.<\/p>\n<p>Doch nicht nur f\u00fcr die Freizeit hat es sich gelohnt das Abenteuer Tessin in Angriff zu nehmen. Der Aufbau unseres Studienganges unterscheidet sich in einigen grundlegenden Aspekten von anderen Unis. Ein grosser Teil der Vorlesungen findet in kleineren Gruppen statt, weshalb sie viel interaktiver gestaltet werden k\u00f6nnen. Neben den Vorlesungen und den Tagen in der Klinik, haben wir die M\u00f6glichkeit Wahlf\u00e4cher zu belegen. Diese, oft praktischen, Kurse gestalten das Curriculum etwas individueller und machen auch viel Spass.<\/p>\n<p>Obwohl Lugano nicht mein Favorit war, ist es defintiv zu dem geworden. Das Studium, die Dozenten, das Dekanat und nat\u00fcrlich meine Mitstudenten machen die Zeit hier bestimmt unvergesslich.<\/p>\n\t<p>English<\/p>\n<p>As for many of us, Lugano was as well for me not the 1<sup>st<\/sup> choice and for a very long time the irreversible lot. But already when looking at the apartments in spring 2020 that changed immediately. With that, my chapter &#8220;Ticino&#8221; began. Even if visiting apartments with COVID-19 and on the other end of Switzerland was a bit complicated, the feeling of a adventurous new beginning had emerged.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As soon as we finally could start in September, all the retentions towards the Tessin were vanished. The introduction days in Tenero even outwent everything.<\/p>\n<p>What I really appreciate is that with 50 students we&#8217;re like a big school class. We know each other and the team spirit is great. Another advantage is, that all fellows live in walking distance away. That makes the life besides the studies unique and certainly never boring.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, also Lugano and the Tessin has a lot to offer. The weather is (nearly always) gorgeous and invites to a lot of outdoor activities. Sometimes it feels like holidays in Italy on our free afternoons.<\/p>\n<p>But it was not only worth it for the free time to start the adventure Tessin. The structure of our study program differs in some fundamental aspects from other universities. A big part of the lectures is held in small groups, what makes the more interactive. Besides the lectures and the clinical days we have the opportunity to choose different optional courses. This, often practical, courses create the curriculum more individual and also make a lot of fun.<\/p>\n<p>Even if Lugano was not my favourite, it definitely turned into it. The study program, the professors, the deanery and certainly the other students make the time here unforgettable.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Student&#8217;s experience at USI &#8220;I immediately noticed the incredible enthusiasm of all the professors and members of the deanery.&#8221; by Linda Bernasconi, Bachelor at University Basel Italian [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"no-sidebar","site-content-layout":"page-builder","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"disabled","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"disabled","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.smusi.usi.ch\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/482"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.smusi.usi.ch\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.smusi.usi.ch\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.smusi.usi.ch\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.smusi.usi.ch\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=482"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.smusi.usi.ch\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/482\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1060,"href":"https:\/\/www.smusi.usi.ch\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/482\/revisions\/1060"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.smusi.usi.ch\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=482"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
