The programme includes a solid preparation in fundamental disciplines, such as medicine, physics, statistics, chemistry and biology. This background allows students to deeply understand the main pathological processes that occur throughout the different life stages—from childhood to adulthood and geriatric age—on which their diagnostic intervention focuses.
Professional skills are developed through theoretical and practical training, which also includes the acquisition of behavioural skills. Importance is given to practical training and traineeship activities, which are an integral and qualifying part of professional training, carried out under the supervision and guidance of professional tutors.

Il corso di laurea è un corso ad accesso programmato a livello nazionale. È previsto un test d'ammissione sulla base dei cui risultati avviene l'assegnazione dei posti disponibili il cui numero è definito ogni anno dai dipartimenti di area medica di concerto con l'ordine professionale TSRM-PSTRP e la Regione Toscana, sulla base delle effettive richieste del mercato del lavoro. Il test di ammissione è predisposto dal Ministero dell'università e della ricerca (MUR). Le modalità e i contenuti della prova stessa sono definiti dal MUR anno per anno con apposito decreto, dal quale deriva il bando di Ateneo. Relativamente gli obblighi formativi aggiuntivi (OFA), si precisa che verranno esaminati i punteggi riportati nelle domande di: biologia, chimica, matematica e fisica. I candidati che avranno conseguito un punteggio, nelle suddette singole discipline, inferiore alla metà del punteggio massimo acquisibile, dovranno prendere contatti con il docente tutor della/delle suddetta/e disciplina/e per concordare il programma d'esame aggiuntivo utile a colmare il debito formativo, attraverso modalità di autoapprendimento. Gli obblighi formativi aggiuntivi, da assolvere entro il primo anno di corso, saranno individuati dal Consiglio del CDS e si intendono soddisfatti avendo frequentato apposite lezioni di tutoraggio concordate con i docenti delle materie interessate e avendo sostenuto con esito favorevole le prove in itinere e l'esame finale dell'insegnamento nel quale è compresa la materia oggetto di OFA. Gli studenti che non abbiano soddisfatto gli OFA non possono essere ammessi a sostenere gli esami del secondo anno del corso di studio.

Regarding the additional educational obligations (OFAs), it should be noted that the scores reported in the applications of biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics will be examined.
Candidates who have obtained a score, in the aforementioned individual disciplines, less than half of the maximum score that can be acquired, will have to make contact with the tutor of the aforementioned discipline(s) to agree on the additional examination programme useful for filling the gaps in education, through self-study methods
The additional learning requirements, to be fulfilled within the first year of the course, will be identified by the CDS Council and are considered fulfilled by having attended special tutoring classes agreed upon with the teachers of the subjects concerned and having successfully taken the ongoing tests and the final exam of the teaching in which the subject covered by the OFA is included.
Students who have not satisfied the OFAs may not be admitted to take the examinations of the second year of the course of study.
