Content

The realization of clinical practices give the student the opportunity to integrate the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values acquired in the subjects, in a real professional field. In this way, he or she can apply the different techniques to specific clinical cases, as well as participate in the prevention and promotion of health.

The student will attend the practice center daily and under the supervision of a "tutor" physiotherapist will apply different assessment and treatment techniques depending on the clinical cases.

The centers where the clinical stays will be carried out are centers of physical medicine and rehabilitation with current agreements.

The placement of the internship center will be done according to the procedures established by the Faculty.

Methodology

Preparation of a work: the student will individually prepare a diary of the activity carried out during the clinical stays
										
											
Practical teaching carried out in health centers in small groups. The activities will be guided by external professionals and tutored by university professors.
										
											
										
											Before the start of the clinical stays, the coordinator of the subject will make a presentation of the practice centers and will explain the methodology and regulations during the practices.

   The student will not be able to carry out the practices in the center of Practicum I. In the case that occurs, the coordinator will be the one who awards the practice center
