[Didactic strategies of Giovan Battista da Monte (1489-1551) for the reformation of medical studies at the Paduan Studium].
Da Monte was a very important member of medical Humanism; his position within the medical cultural scene of his time was characterised by strong interests in the epistemological problems of medicine. He considered the whole medicine - not only theory - a practical science according to the Aristotelian concept of science. During his teaching years at the Paduan Studium he tried to overcome the division of medicine into medical theory and medical practice and he elaborated an unitary method of teaching, trying to follow the Galen's Methodus medendi, in order to give a true scientific foundation also to the medical practice.
