The subject is developed in the second year, it is advisable that the student has reached the basic competences in cell biology, biochemistry and molecular biology, anatomy and physiology. Likewise, 
it is convenient to know the psychological bases of the states of health and disease and to have an adequate level of knowledge in interpersonal communication. The student will acquire the commitment, 
by signing a specific confidentiality document, the maintenance of confidentiality and the professional secrecy of the information and data and the images that can be accessed in the reason for the learning in the care services.

Content

Place where the subject is developed: Primary Care Center (CAP) or socio-health center or accredited research team oriented to primary care.
										
											The student can choose, depending on the availability, to which primary care center, social health center or accredited research team oriented to primary care is to be incorporated.
										
											Three contexts are contemplated:
										
											Clinical area
										
											Internships in the area of Family Medicine and Pediatrics in the field of primary care. During the practice, the student will observe:
										
											- the general aspects of the clinical relationship and the concepts of health and illness;
										
											- the assistance methodology in the primary care setting;
										
											- the basic aspects of the clinical interview and the different interview models adapted to specific situations;
										
											- the etiology, physiopathology, semiology and clinical propaedeutics, large syndromes and manifestations of prevalent diseases;
										
											- the diagnostic and therapeutic procedures of the most frequent diseases;
										
											- the functional exploration of the different devices and systems;
										
											- the use of the techniques of the center or service;
										
											- the surgical act; control of the consequences of surgery.
										
											The clinical experience can be completed with assistance to clinical care sessions, specific training sessions, or others that the CAP or center has scheduled.
										
											Integration in a line of research
										
											The student can be integrated into research lines and teams to become familiar with information retrieval systems, 
scientific and medical document search tasks and the management of biomedical databases.
										
											During the scheduled stay, the student will record the most significant clinical experiences and summarize the content of the sessions in which he has participated. 
This documentation will be delivered at the end of the stay to the tutor of the same and will form the basis of its evaluation.

Methodology

The student joins the activities of a CAP or concerted center (6 days, 3 hours a day, clinical care practices and 3 hours of practicum assistance without guidelines), to observe and / or perform tasks of assistance, training or research , in a supervised way.
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 continuous evaluation of the tutor of the scheduled stay, will constitute the basis for the evaluation of the subject.
THE SCHEDULES AND DAYS OF STAY IN THE CAP OF THIS SUBJECT ARE DETERMINED ACCORDING TO THE HOURS AND PROGRANA OF THE SECOND COURSE OF MEDICINE. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MODIFY THE DATES OF THE STAYS THAT ARE COVENANTED
WITH THE CAP AT THE BEGINNING OF THE COURSE TO ADAPT THEM TO THE ASSISTANCE PROCESS.
Mostly they are mixed schedules, although the programming is done in the afternoon and for 5 days because the program and schedules of the second course of medicine are followed.
This is especially specified for students of upper SECOND courses due to the incompatibilities of schedules with hospital practices.
Specific conditions for students of the Teaching Unit of Basic Medical Sciences (2nd year):
1. The period of stay in the CAP will be 5 days in the afternoon (30 hours: 6 hours x 5 days) This course will be in the AFTERNOON.
Students will NOT have to search for the CAP on their own, but will have to choose the CAP they want to go to from a list of available CAPs, using the PSG computer application, which is usually used in the Teaching Unit of Basic Medical Sciences to sign up for practices.
This election must be made during the first week of the semester, after the students have enrolled.
Teaching typology: clinical care practices and practicum without guidelines.
 

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.

Assessment

The students enrolled in this subject will receive prior information in the UDCMB and the activities will be carried out in the coordinated primary care centers (CAP).
The CAP tutor will make an observational evaluation of 5 concepts about student learning and attitudes and 3 items about skill progression during the CAP stay (based on the 8 concepts, sum of 25 points maximum).
The person in charge of the subject will supervise these notes and in the doubtful cases he will be able to ask the students for a practical test.
To pass the subject, the student must have attended at least 90% of the activities programmed in the coordinated CAPs, and have a minimum positive evaluation of the tutor of 14 points on the total of 25 points.
The options for obtaining the excel·lència (Honors Registration) will depend on the obtaining of the maximum note in lotos, the sections (attendance and assessment of the tutor), the mention of excel·lència and the availability
of authorizaza e función of the number of registrations. The coordination of the course reserves the possibility of requesting a research work on the subject of the subject for these possible cases.
Students who do not have accredited 95% of the activities programmed in the CAP will be considered as not evaluated and will exhaust the rights to the enrollment of the subject.
