The new degree course in medicine and surgery for LUM University was inaugurated this morning with a press conference in the Apulia Region.
Speakers at the press conference were:
Antonello Garzoni, Magnificent Rector of LUM;
Bruno Moncharmont, Coordinator of the Degree Course in Medicine and Surgery, former Professor of General Pathology;
Michele Emiliano, President of the Apulia Region;
Don Mimmo Laddaga, Delegate Governor of Miulli Hospital;
Pierluigi Lopalco, Councillor for Health of the Apulia Region;
Sebastiano Leo, Councillor for University of the Apulia Region;
Vito Montanaro, Head of the Health Promotion Department of the Apulia Region;
Filippo Anelli, National President of the Medical Association.
The coordinator was Francesco Albergo, professor of Risk Management and Control in Healthcare Companies at LUM University.
The opening of the new degree course, as explained by the Rector Prof. Garzoni, was made possible thanks also to the agreement with the Miulli Regional Hospital in Acquaviva delle Fonti, specifying that this new course “is not only an opportunity for LUM but for the whole of Apulia Region”.
In the presentation of the project, it was made clear that the new degree course will pay particular attention to issues relating to local medicine, a critical point in this pandemic period, focusing on a more innovative medicine.
LUM has already inaugurated a degree course in Management Engineering for the 21/22 academic year.
The new opening of the campus in October 2021, based on the American model, will provide the University with the improvement of the previous structures and the opening of residencies.
