Prerequisites

The student will acquire the commitment to preserve the confidentiality and professional secrecy of the data that can be accessed due to the learning of health care services. Also by maintaining an attitude of professional ethics in all its actions. It is recommended that all students should be vaccinated according to UAB indications, in the same way that they should know the code of good practices.

It is mandatory that the student obtains the certificate (negative) of crimes of a sexual nature before commencing the practices.

Have achieved a good level of knowledge in the previous Practices.

Due to the pandemic,we need to be aware of that the different institutions collaborating with the grade can ask for previous PCR, antigen test or vaccination. Protection material is provided by the University; however, we have to take into account that not always is possible and the cost of these tests and protection material can be assumed by the students

 

It is mandatory that the student obtain the certificate (negative) of crimes of a sexual nature before starting the practices. In addition, there are centers that require specific documentation that the student must submit on the first day of the internship or 15 days before the start of the internship.

 

There will be the possibility of being able to carry out the internship in the afternoon or in some extraordinary period. Not all centers affiliated with the UAB offer places in the afternoon or in extraordinary periods, in these cases, the student must adapt to the offer of places proposed by the university. Internships may not be carried out in centers not affiliated with the UAB.

 

Objectives and Contextualisation

The subject Practicum III is attended during the first semester of the third year of the Degree in Physiotherapy, and is part of the group of basic education subjects.

The general objective of the subject is to see in practice concepts already studied in other subjects. Integrate all the knowledge, abilities, attitudes and values acquired in all subjects, supervised by qualified physiotherapists, and where all professional competencies will be developed for effective physiotherapy care through comprehensive patient-user assistance.

This subject is complemented with other basic and compulsory subjects such as Physiotherapy in Neurology I and II, Basic Physiotherapy of the Locomotor System, Therapeutic Techniques in Locomotor System Physiotherapy, Instrumental Evaluation of the Locomotor System, Physiotherapy in Cardiology and Respiratory , Physiotherapy in Geriatrics, and Practicum I and II. In the same way it is complemented with optional subjects of 3rd year such as Physiotherapy in Pediatrics, Prevention and Treatment of Physiotherapy in Vascular Processes, Prevention and Treatment of Lymphedema, and Prevention and Treatment of the alterations of the Pelvic Floor.

It constitutes, therefore, part of the necessary and compulsory scientific basis for graduate training
