General teaching methodology:
Teaching typology: Practicum without guidelines
The student joins the activities of a medical service for a week (5 days), 6 hours a day, to observe and / or perform assistance, training or research tasks in a supervised manner. During the stay you will register the activity carried out in order to complete the summary portfolio of the stay. This summary, together with the opinion of the tutor of the scheduled stay, will be the basis of the evaluation.
Functioning
The interested student has to search by his own means for a tutor (should be a UAB professor) and a clinical service or hospital department in the medical area where the activity is to be developed, which must have a minimum duration of 30 hours, be outside of class schedule and be different from the practices carried out in the subjects of the curriculum.
The student will give the tutor a proposal of activity (use the specific sheet) where the content of the same will be stated and its approval. The completed application must be submitted to the academic management and information point in order for the person responsible for the subject to approve the activity. Once authorized, the Academic Management will summon the student to collect the authorization and the summary sheet of the activity and of the qualification.
At the end of the period, the student will obtain the qualification of the activity that has been carried out, with the signature of the responsible professor or tutor and seal of the service. The student has to take the document (proposal, summary and grade) to the Academic Management and information point to request recognition of the credits according to the usual procedure.
In the current exceptional circumstances, at the discretion of the teachers and also depending on the resources available and the public health situation, some of the theoretical classes, practicals and seminars organized by the Teaching Units may be taught either in person or virtually.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
