The increasing attention to the potential application of technology in medicine represents a dangerous warning in the direction of a reductionist approach. The academic system should therefore be strongly engaged to ensure even in medical practice the greatest enhancement of the human dimension. Targets: How much space is offered to the teaching of History of Medicine (HM) in Italian Universities? This work aims to answer this question through an in-depth analysis of the teaching plans of the degree courses in Medicine and Surgery (CLMC) activated in Italy.
The survey was carried out through the consultation of information, relating to the year 2019-2020, contained in the UniversItaly portal of the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research, created to accompany students in their studies, as well as through the information published in the web portals of the various universities.
In Italy in 43 out of 97 Universities there is the Degree Course in Medicine and Surgery for a total of 66 degree courses; some Universities have activated more degree courses depending on the number of learners or on issues of territorial distribution. The teaching of HM is present in the curricula of 54 CLMC (82%) and in these is mandatory. In 93% of the cases, it is included in integrated courses (CI) and for only 4 CLMC it results as autonomous teaching. For the most part (86%) it is included in the first year's educational plan. The typology of the different CIs is extremely varied, both in terms of denomination, year and content, as well as in the overall CFUs assigned. The current teaching staff is divided as follows: 6 full professors; 12 associate professors; 13 Researchers (RU/RD); 20 contract professors. 19 are the researchers/professors engaged in the scientific field of the HM (MED/02).
Those findings indicate that the HM subject in the Italian medical education programs is not yet universally recognized as able to stimulate medical students to a holistic view of the person and illness and therefore not sufficiently valued.
对技术在医学中潜在应用的日益关注，代表着向简化论方法迈进的一个危险警告。因此，学术体系应积极参与，以确保即使在医学实践中，也能最大限度地增强人文维度。目的：意大利大学的医学史（HM）教学有多少空间？本研究通过深入分析意大利医学和外科学位课程（CLMC）的教学计划来回答这个问题。
通过查阅 2019-2020 年意大利教育、大学和研究部的 UniversItaly 门户中包含的信息以及各大学网站上发布的信息进行了调查。
在意大利，97 所大学中有 43 所设有医学和外科学位课程，共有 66 个学位课程；一些大学根据学习者人数或地域分布问题，开设了多个学位课程。HM 教学在 54 个 CLMC（82%）的课程中都有体现，并且是必修课。在 93%的情况下，它包含在综合课程（CI）中，只有 4 个 CLMC 将其作为独立教学。在大多数情况下（86%），它包含在第一年的教学计划中。不同 CI 的类型极其多样化，无论是在名称、年份还是内容方面，以及分配的总 CFU 方面。目前的教学人员分为以下几类：6 名正教授；12 名副教授；13 名研究员（RU/RD）；20 名合同制教授。有 19 名研究人员/教授从事 HM 领域的科学研究（MED/02）。
这些发现表明，HM 科目在意大利医学教育计划中尚未被普遍认为能够激发医学生对人的整体观点和疾病的认识，因此其价值尚未得到充分重视。
