The Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna of Pisa and Federsanità have signed a collaboration agreement to jointly promote a high-level training course for medical professionals with the aim of deepening topics such as the fundamentals of the civil and criminal trial, conciliation and alternative dispute resolution models, and technical consultancy and expertise.
The course is aimed, in particular, at professionals who are involved in the management of medico-legal litigation in the area of professional liability, in order to ensure the best defence of the Health Authorities. The first edition is scheduled for the beginning of 2025 and the call for applications will soon be made available on the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna website.

The scientific head of the course is Gaetana Morgante, Director of the Dirpolis Institute (Law, Politics, Development) of the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna and Professor of Criminal Law. Fabrizio d'Alba, national president of Federsanità and General Director of the Umberto I General Hospital in Rome, and Pasquale Giuseppe Macrì, director of the Department of Legal Medicine and Protection of Rights in Health Care of the Azienda USL Toscana Sudest and professor of Legal Medicine at the University of Siena, are involved in the Scientific Technical Committee.

"The collaboration with Federsanità - underlines Gaetana Morgante - represents for the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna and the Dirpolis Institute (Law, Politics, Development) a reason for great satisfaction. Inaugurating this first training course with the support of the Confederation, which associates healthcare and hospital companies, university polyclinics, IRCCSs (Scientific Hospitalization and Treatment Institutes), and local authorities, is the best starting point for an initiative that combines academic training with the ‘Third Mission’ of universities and intends to develop to meet new training needs, in a context of excellence'.
