The expositive lessons and interactive seminars will be taught by lecturers from the areas of medicine, pediatrics and dermatology. They may be carried out in person, telematically or both. The clinical practices, with some exceptions, will take place in hospitals and community health centers.
EXPOSITIVE LESSONS: trying to make it interactive and involving students, stimulating their capacity for clinical reasoning and to relate concepts and knowledge.
CLINICAL PROBLEM SOLVING: Pose clinical problems that introduce them to the fundamental elements of clinical reasoning and help them organize knowledge from a practical and more dynamic point of view. Learning patterns of common diseases and their most prevalent imitators. All these cases/ problems will be connected with the general knowledge of the subject and with their future clinical practice (Dentist's perspective).
CLINICAL SCENARIOS: More or less complex situations that they may have to face in the future. They will be presented in such a way that forces them to relate knowledge, establish concepts and make decisions in real time.
WORKING GROUP: for solving complex clinical problems. Useful for developing interpersonal and expository communication skills, listening, and distributing tasks. Use of online information search tools. Exercise in the appropriate approach to the available clinical information (adequate representation of the clinical problem).
The knowledge acquired in classes and the individual study of the recommended readings will be evaluated through a written test (exceptionally, oral), which must be passed to approve the subject. Written test will consist of "topic questions" (which will require writing), "multi-choice" questions (with predetermined answers of which only one is correct) or a combination of both modalities.
Continuous evaluation (may represent 10% of the final grade, provided the written test is passed): Attendance at seminars and lecture classes may be counted. In some cases, a mini-test will be carried out at the end of the seminars or lecture classes, which will also be counted in this section. Likewise, the outstanding participation in these seminars, the completion of previous or subsequent work in relation to them, and the participation of the entire group will be evaluated. The weight of the continued evaluation in the extraordinary recovery opportunity (July tests) will be the same as in the June one.
In cases of fraudulent completion of exercises or tests, the provisions of the Regulations for evaluating the academic performance of students and reviewing grades will apply.
It is considered that to acquire and establish the necessary knowledge required of the subject through classes, readings, bibliographic consultations and academic work, it requires a personal work and dedication of between 5-8 hours per week.
The student should be aware that although its scope is limited to future dental plan, their studies are framed within the health sciences and, therefore, his duty will be shared with other professionals to ensure comprehensive health their patients and the community.
