1.3. Context and importance of this course in the degree

The teaching of Ophthalmology must favor the acquisition of professional values, and appropriate behaviors that allow them to deal with eye problems in the general population.

Ophthalmology is a medical-surgical specialty characterized by having within its scope with very high incidence diseases and chronic diseases with high prevalence, especially in elderly patients. Because of these characteristics, an important part of the eye disease is diagnosed and treated by general practitioners. Otolaryngology is one of the specialties most prevalent pathological processes in the usual

medical-surgical practice, both adult and child.

Thus, an important part of the otorhinolaryngology pathology is treated by general practitioners. In fact, family doctors and pediatricians admit that 40% of his practice is related to problems of ear, nose and throat.

Therefore, the teaching of Otolaryngology must favor the acquisition of knowledge and behaviors that

allow the healthcare professional, solve problems Otorhinolaryngologic the general population. Moreover, Otolaryngology is of great importance since it refers to three of the five organs of the senses: smell, taste and hearing and sensory skills as important as the equilibration.

In addition, Otolaryngology should be considered the specialty of communication studies since the ear and larynx, which are two key components of it.

Moreover, Otolaryngology should be considered as a specialty of extraordinary importance, to engage the attention of the sphincter of the respiratory system: larynx.

2.2. Importance of learning goals

With the above objectives it is to get the student's training in specific knowledge of the matter. This specific training must, in turn, integrate general education of current medical and train future physician to assess and incorporate new diagnostic and therapeutic procedures that arise in the evolution of the various areas of medical knowledge.

3.1. Aims of the course

the basis of the formation of the current general practitioner and future, putting him in a position to evaluate new diagnostic and therapeutic procedures that arise in the future developments in the field. The subject of Otolaryngology has the following general objectives

Contribute to the prevention of diseases that can affect the ear, nasal passages and sinuses, pharynx, larynx and head and neck region.

Collaborate in health education of the population with regard to early diagnosis of pathological processes that can compromise the territories of our specialty.

Perform tasks care of the most important disease entities ear, nasal passages and sinuses, pharynx, larynx and head and neck region.

Establish appropriate criteria for the application of specialized medical care in the diagnosis and treatment

of pathological processes comprising Otolaryngology.

Acquire basic knowledge in the field of Otolaryngology, which enable and encourage for further specialization performing tasks.

Report the most important aspects of the investigation of pathological processes of the ear, nasal passages

and sinuses, pharynx, larynx and head and neck region.

3.2. Competences

BASIC

Students can apply their basic knowledge to a specific knowledge area, as is the area of surgical specialties.

Students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data to draw conclusions applicable in the scientific field.

Students can transmit information on scientific problems and technical solutions to both specialist and

non-specialist public.

Students develop skills to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy.

CROSSCUTTING

Students master the pathologies that can affect the apparatus of vision and the respiratory system, mainly with regard to tumor pathology, to the way lacrimo-nasal, and those pathological situations that may compromise the relationship between the orbit and the sinuses.

SPECIFIC

Students can recognize, diagnose and guide treatment of the main pathologies of Ophthalmology and

Otolaryngology.

Students how to perform and interpret basic tests of both specialties.

4.1. Assessment tasks (description of tasks, marking system and assessment criteria)

During these discussion sessions, teachers appreciate the degree of utilization of practical teaching of each of the students, who deserve a rating that will contribute 20% of the total score. To overcome this matter,

it is required to obtain, in this section, at least 50% of the maximum score, ie 1 January.

The sum of both scores will form the total score, so that to pass the subject is necessary to obtain half the possible score in each of the tests. Thus, to overcome Otolaryngology, it is necessary that students get at least 4 points out of 8 possible points in the evaluation sessions teaching large groups; and 1 point from 2 points in the evaluation of teaching sessions to small groups (10% of the subject).

Both in the field of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology matter, the final grade of seminars, workshops and practices will remain for the second call.

Overall assessment of Surgical Specialties

As already it noted, to pass the subject of Surgical Specialties is necessary to obtain half the possible score in each of the tests, both in Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology.

The student who attends the course of Surgical Specialties receive, after their training period, and corresponding assessments for each of the materials that comprise an overall rating of that subject. This mark will be the average of the respective marks obtained in the two different materials that make up the subject. The results obtained by the student will be graded according to numerical scale with one decimal and corresponding qualitative rating (Article 5 of the RD 1125/2003.), So that:

0 ----------------- 4.9 Suspense (S.S)

----------------- 5.0 6.9 Approved (AP) Notable ----------------- 7.0 8.9 (NT)

----------------- 10 9.0 Outstanding (SB)

It should be noted, however, that to achieve the passing mark of the subject, are required to have approved each and every one of the subjects comprising the same, so that, otherwise, not the overall rating will be finalized. In the latter case, ie if the student has suspended one of the materials that make up the subject, you must re-testing of assessment for that matter, to overcome it, keeping scores on tests evaluation of other stuff that had already been approved. This reserve of qualifications obtained in

different subjects expires after exhausting the teaching period to which the student had done right for tuition. Thus, if the student does not obtain at least the passing grade in all subjects, and the period corresponding to the registration made in the course teaching is exhausted, you must re-take completely the process of teaching all and each of the materials and resubmitted to the evaluation processes of each and every one of them. Registrations of honor (MH) will be awarded to students who have achieved the highest scores. When deemed necessary by all teachers of different subjects, you may be called a specific test for this purpose between students selected by their better grades.

Finally, as they indicated the statutes of the University of Zaragoza, where artículo166, and paragraph f,

there is the possibility that the subject can be overcome through a process of continuous assessment. In the latter case, the student must inform the teacher, in the early going, you want to pursue this option evaluation, so that the teacher perform the actions mentioned own system of continuous assessment.
