Italian term

CLOPD

Italian to English Medical Medical (general) acronyms - hospital departments
This acronym appears in the name of a hospital anatomical pathology department: "UOC Anatomia e Istologia Patologica CLOPD". I find this online alongside the names of many hospital and medical organizations (" Fornitura in opera cartelli informativi interni all'edificio "CLOPD" dell'A.O.U... for example" but can't find anything that expands what these letters stand for.

Anyone know what these letters stand for, and how we translate the words into English?

Thanks for your help.

"dentistry" is ever changing and Italy has the longest course in EU, I think, that's why dentists prefer being considered surgeons rather than technicians
JudyC Jul 31, 2013:
absolutely, my mistake ! never know with the CdL Magistrali a Ciclo Unico - some are 5 years and some are 6.

And, on the subject of "implantology", I remember that a few years ago a dentist also objected to "odontoiatria" being translated as "dentistry" !


...but it was 5 years until 2009/2010

Il Corso di Laurea in Odontoiatria e Protesi Dentaria, dalla durata di 5 anni, è stato istituito in Italia con il DPR 135 del 1980, in ottemperanza alle direttive dell'Unione Europea 686/78 e 687/78.

Dall’ a.a. 2009/2010 è stato istituito Il Corso di Laurea Magistrale in Odontoiatria e Protesi Dentaria, della durata di 6 anni, durante i quali lo studente è tenuto ad acquisire un totale di 360 Crediti Formativi Universitari (CFU).
dandamesh Jul 31, 2013:
CLOPD is a 6 -year course, the highest degree in dentistry
JudyC Jul 31, 2013:
yes, but Undergraduate "School" or "Degree Course"

In Italy, Dentistry, like Medicine, is known as a Laurea Magistrale a Ciclo Unico (meaning they're not divided into the bacheor's (3y) plus master's (2y) components. Medicine is 6 years and Dentistry is 5, and you access them with a secondary school diploma and an entrance test.

I'd probably just use the acronym plus "school of dentistry" as it's just indicating that it's one of the 3 pathological anatomy departments of the hospital http://www.sanita.padova.it/reparti/,3

I'm not quite sure about dental prosthetics
http://www.askedu.net/training.asp?Course=Dental Prosthetics...
Italian translations are more oriented to dental implants/implantology, I think we are talking of oral surgery rather than making false teeth
Joseph Tein (asker) Jul 31, 2013:
English version Now that we agree on what the letters stand for, I'd translate it (just to be complete) as Graduate Course in Dentistry and Dental Prosthetics. Does everybody like that?
Joseph Tein (asker) Jul 30, 2013:
Grazie mille Thanks to all of you for taking the time to post your comments and suggestions.

Corso di Laurea in Odontoiatria e Protesi Dentaria

Commonly known as a "shot in the dark"!
CLOPD does indeed stand for the above, but not sure it fits your context.
Good luck and buon lavoro :-)

Note from asker:
Ciao Fiona, thank you for this prompt reply. I also found this Corso di Laurea after I posted the question, and also can't understand why the acronym would appear in the context of a hospital pathological anatomy and histology unit. Let's see what our colleagues may add. Grazie di nuovo.
