Methodology

The module will be organized into theoretical contents, which will be based on activities conducted in the form of expository classes, and from autonomous activities through the reading of articles and personal study. It also has a strong practical content, which will be worked through the resolution of clinical cases and the debate, where the cooperative work of the group will be very important. Attendance will be mandatory at 80%.  
In case of not reaching the minimum attendance required without justified reasons, the module will not be evaluated. When the causes are justified, the teacher will study the best way to resolve the situation in each case.

The proposed teaching and assessment methodologies may experience some modifications as a result of the restrictions on face-to-face learning imposed by the health authorities. The teaching staff will use the Moodle classroom or the usual communication channel to specify whether the different directed and assessment activities are to be carried out on site or online, as instructed by the Faculty
