I Requisiti e le modalità di accesso al corso di Laurea Magistrale a ciclo unico in Medicina e Chirurgia sono disciplinati da Leggi e Normative Ministeriali in ambito nazionale.
Per essere ammessi al corso di Laurea Magistrale in Medicina e Chirurgia occorre essere in possesso di un Diploma di Scuola Secondaria Superiore o di altro titolo di studio conseguito all'estero, riconosciuto idoneo.
Le conoscenze richieste per l'accesso sono di carattere scientifico relative alle discipline di Biologia, Chimica, Fisica e Matematica oltre al possesso di una adeguata cultura generale che si traduca in capacità di logica deduttiva, induttiva e comprensione del testo.
Agli studenti che sono stati ammessi al corso con una votazione inferiore a una prefissata soglia minima saranno assegnati degli obblighi formativi aggiuntivi (OFA) secondo le modalità individuate dal CDS.
Il test di ammissione, di contenuto identico in tutte le sedi di prova, è predisposto dal Ministero dell'università e della ricerca (MUR) avvalendosi di soggetti con comprovata competenza in materia, individuati nel rispetto dei principi di imparzialità, trasparenza e riservatezza, tenuti al rigoroso rispetto del segreto professionale e d'ufficio e di una Commissione di esperti, per la validazione delle domande. 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.
A seguito dell'esito della prova verranno attribuiti obblighi formativi aggiuntivi (OFA) nelle discipline di Biologia, Chimica, Fisica ai candidati vincitori che hanno ottenuto nelle prove di ammissione un punteggio equalizzato inferiore a 5 nella sezione Biologia, per l'OFA in BIOLOGIA, e/o nella sezione Chimica e Fisica, per l'OFA in CHIMICA e in FISICA.
L'Obbligo Formativo Aggiuntivo deve essere recuperato durante il primo anno, attraverso le modalità concordate con il docente titolare dell'insegnamento di Biologia, Chimica e/o Fisica in cui è stato individuato l'obbligo formativo.
Il superamento dell'esame finale del corso integrato sullo stesso argomento in cui è stato attribuito l'OFA vale come prova di assolvimento dell'OFA stesso.
L'assolvimento degli OFA è indispensabile per l'iscrizione al secondo anno di corso.
