Teaching Plan Information

5.1. Methodological overview

The learning process that has been designed for this course is based on the following:

The subject is divided into 35 theoretical lectures of one hour, and 10 thematic seminars of one hour and 5 workshops of two hours.  The content of the lectures will be based on a book or manual recommended previously and adapted to the level of knowledge of the student. In the Seminar students work on cases related to the subject and must resolve problems through personal effort and teamwork. In Workshops the teacher will present the basic knowledge for the development of a medical history with the knowledge of the basic physical examination and the main signs of the disease using audiovisual methods.

As teaching support will be provided in the web: literature recommendations, program of the course, guide teaching, hours of theoretical and practical classes, as well as summaries of theoretical subjects or supplementary material of the practices in some cases, if necessary.
