Teaching method
The course is divided into two initial weeks of theoretical classes and next twelve weeks with clinical problem cases and other approaches and hospital experience. The lectures will be taught with the help of computer support methods. The problem cases will be taught with the aid of media. In teaching hospital will be performed at the bedside and includes visits to the infirmary.
In addition, students have to work on a topic previously distributed and throughout the semester, under the guidance of the Assistant, they will make a summary and presentation during a mini congress at the end of the semester.
At the end of the course a written exam will be done. This exam will consist of a multiple-choice test and includes questions of all matter taught in theoretical classes, problem cases and the hospital experiences. There will also be continuous assessment based on logbook at the hospital.
Evaluation method
For the realization of the theory test is required the presence of the student in at least 2/3 of the hospital experience and carrying out a narrative review. This rule does not apply to students with special statutes.
The classification obtained in the theoretical exam represents 50% of the final grade (the remaining 50% are from the practical assessment with a component of continuous assessment and presentation of the work).
