Teaching method

The classes will be theoretical-practical integrating an expository component and an interactive component, directed to small groups.

The sessions will be modular, supported by conventional and multimedia elements. There also will be discussion of practical cases and analysis and discussion of scientific articles in group.

Evaluation method

Individual work (50%): presentation and discussion of an article.

Group work (50%): presentation and discussion of a practical case / topic related to the contents of the curricular unit, applied to the context of clinical research, which can be a paradoxical, contradictory situation that defies common sense and stimulates the critical spirit of the students. This element comprises the delivery of a written report.
