Prerequisites
- Candidates must be enrolled in 3rd year.
- It is advisable to study the subject once the clinical training has begun.
- Students must have passed the Clinical Care Practice I and II subjects.
- Be enrolled (although not yet approved) in the subject of Fisiopatologia y semiologia clínica (3rd year)
Due to the nature of the practices that are carried out in a primary care center, the student will acquire the commitment of preserving the confidentiality and professional secrecy of the data to which he / she may have access because of the learning in the care services. In addition, you must commit to maintaining an attitude of professional ethics in all your actions.
Objectives and Contextualisation
The context in which the subject of Clinical Care Practice III is developed is the first contact of the students, during the clinical training phase, with the health care system of primary health care. It is considered that certain aspects of clinical care practice, such as home care, are considered to be in the field of primary care; the preventive and community approach to behaviors, lifestyles and health problems; continuity of care during the entire life of the patients (including the end of life); the integral management of the pluripathological and fragile patient, and the familiar approach of certain problems.
In addition, primary care is where the diagnostic process of many health problems is developed, where the criteria of interconsultation and referral are defined, and where care is taken to ensure the so-called continuum of care, that is, coordination with other levels of care and with socio-health and community resources.
Due to these characteristics and conditions, the subject aims to make the student aware of the importance of the clinical interview with the patient, the role of preventive activities, diagnostic and therapeutic decision making in an environment of uncertainty and complexity , and patient-centered decision making. Likewise, the bases of how to do research in primary care will be laid.
The following are considered as training objectives of this subject:
- Know the primary care team and its members.
- Appropriate use of the clinical interview in the event of having to give bad news.
- Knowledge of home care.
- Preventive activities.
- Multi-pathological and polymedicated patient.
- Introduction to research in primary care.
This subject is complemented with other subjects, such as AIM and Physiopathology and Clinical Semiology
