It is advisable for the student to have achieved basic skills in clinical pathophysiology and semiology, structural pathology, complementary examination techniques, medical imaging, clinical and microbiological laboratory, as well as principles of pharmacology and therapeutics of the different devices and systemshumans.
It is recommended that the student has achieved basic skills in the digital field, molecular biology, biostatistics and epidemiology.
Sufficient knowledge of physiopathology on the psychological bases of health and disease states is desirable, as well as an adequate level of knowledge in interpersonal communication
This is a subject taught in the second semester of the fifth year of the Degree in Medicine. Like the other AIMs, it is a transversal subject that aims to develop some basic skills for the professional activity and scientific thinking of medical graduates.It is intended to provide a comprehensive training of medical knowledge, so that the biological and pathophysiological bases of medicine and clinical disciplines are not considered isolated subjects without continuity.
During the course of the AIMs, they must try to develop some basic transversal skills for the professional activity and scientific thinking of medical graduates: argumentation based on evidence, ability to ask the most suitable questions, analysis and interpretation of dataand application of physiopathological principles in the understanding of diseases. Generic self-learning skills such as teamwork, oral and written communication, reading and information research will also be developed, including the use of new information technologies and Bioinformatics.
During the teaching period, students will have to solve problem cases, the content of which will vary in each academic year.The work will be done in small groups and with the collaboration of a tutor responsible for each case and tutors responsible for the different course subjects involved in the development of the case.The subject will be developed in the problem-based learning format and combines tutoring sessions with independent work by the student.
In the presentation session of each case, the characteristics of the work to be developed will be explained.Students will have to attend the scheduled tutorials and consult all the sources they consider appropriate to solve the clinical problem raised, which will be presented to the whole class in the last session to close the case.
In the Bioinformatics Module, teaching will be of a mixed type..
An initial part of introduction to the different tools most used, a second part in which cases will be solved, first guided and tutored and then autonomously, to finally focus on a case, which will be worked on in small groupsand what they will have to present at the last session (Congress).
The general training objectives of the subject are:
5 clinical cases are prepared based on the subjects and matters of Module 3 (human clinical training):

All students must know and participate more or less directly in the solution of all cases.The knowledge acquired and the participation and presentation of the solutions will be the basis of the evaluation of the subject.The enrollment group is divided into the corresponding groups of working students in each case.In the presentation session (session 1), led by the tutor responsible for the case, the entire registration group attends, the case is presented and the group of students working on the case is assigned.These groups will participate directly in the solution of each case in the documentation and problem-solving sessions (sessions 2-3), directed by the tutors of each subject involved in the case.In these sessions, the rest of the students in the enrollment group also participate as listeners, so they can also have direct access to the documentation and attend the discussion of problems in each case.In the final case solution session (session 4), led by the tutor responsible for the case, the group of students in the case present thesolution to the entire enrollment group, so that all students have access to the discussion and solutionfinal and can adequately acquire the knowledge essential for the final assessment, which includes all cases.

For all Bioinformatics sessions, the enrollment group is divided into the corresponding groups of students depending on the size of the IT classrooms where the sessions will be taught.
Exceptionally and according to the criteria of the responsible teaching staff, the available resources and the current health situation in the different Teaching Units, part of the content corresponding to the theoretical lessons, practicals and seminars may be taught face-to-face or virtually.
Note: 15 minutes of a class will be set aside, within the calendar established by the center/degree, for students to fill in the teacher performance and subject evaluation surveys/module.
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.

Evaluation activities
Each student will participate in the presentation and resolution of a case. The main evaluation methodology of this subject is the continuous evaluation of the groups during the four sessions in which the subject is divided.
These seek that students, regardless of the specific content of each case, learn to integrate concepts, to ask and answer appropriately, to work in teams assuming what others in the same group are doing and getting used to correcting others, so that the end result is common and shared.
Presentation and discussion of the case
The presentation will be shared among all the students in the presentation group, on the scheduled day and in an equivalent presentation time. The case will be presented to the whole class (enrolment group), following a similar scheme and for a total approximate time of around 40 minutes
Continued avaluation
It is mandatory to attend the presentation sessions of all the cases and the final sessions in which the students present the resolution of each of the cases.
Attendance at the various meetings held with the tutor is mandatory. These can be done electronically (TEAMS).
Non-attendance prevents the student from being assessed. Participation in discussions and consulting tasks with other tutors will be valued
At the end, each group will have to prepare a document with the summary of the case, the differential diagnosis and the learnings they have had. These documents will be given to all students of the course.
As a guide, the final document must include the following points:
Non-attendance prevents the student from being assessed. Participation in discussions and consulting tasks with other tutors will be valued.
Bioinformatics module
Continuous assessment that will assess:
- Attendance (mandatory for all sessions), active participation in classes and the resolution of questionnaires to be completed in the different sessions using the Virtual Campus.
- The presentation, in the last session called Congress, of a PowerPoint with the analysis of the last of the cases worked on. The work will be done in small groups and will be in a free format. Students must use those tools, among those studied, that best fit the case.
With continued assessment, the student will be able to obtain a grade that can reach Excellent.
Students who wish to opt for Matricula will have to take a test-type exam of between 3 and 5 questions for each of the cases that have been worked on during the course by all groups and with 3-5 questions referring to the Bioinformatics Module regarding the tools worked. This test will be based on the documents prepared by each of the groups. The best grades will have an Honors Matriculation.
Students who have not passed the subject through continuous assessment will be classified as "NOT ASSESSABLE".
Although the assessment will follow a similar pattern, it can be adapted to the characteristics of each of the Teaching Units. An exam will be scheduled based on cases presented by students who have not passed the contents of the subject, with a format to be determined.
This subject does not provide the single assessment system.
