Prerequisites

There are no prerequisites to take the subject AIM II. However, it is very convenient that the student has acquired knowledge about the morphology, structure and functions of the human organism.

In addition, it is highly recommended that students are studying or have completed the other core subjects of the second year.
Likewise, it is convenient that the student has acquired the skills of autonomous and group work.


Objectives and Contextualisation

 

AIM II is a  subject that is taught in the second semester of the second year of the Medicine degree. Like the rest of integrated learning in medicine, it is a cross-disciplinary subject, both horizontally and vertically, which aims to develop some basic skills for the professional activity and scientific thinking of graduates in Medicine.

The general formative objectives of the subject are: Acquire basic skills in medical practice, 

Specific objectives:

  • Integrate knowledge and contents worked on in the rest of the core subjects of the first and second year.
  • To acquire skills in biomedical resarch and capacity to apply it in a clinical context
  • To acquire basic knowledgment about cardiorespiratory techniques
  • Apply this knowledge to real situations.
  • Develop generic skills  related with comunication with patients, empathy, problem solving and work-team
  • Develop generic self-learning skills: temporary organization of self-employment, team work, information search, including new information technologies, and critical analysis of information.
  • Develop a criticla scientific thinking

  26. Recognise the different types of health science journals.
  27. Use information and communication technologies in professional practice.

Content

This subject is intended to provide a comprehensive training of medical knowledge, presenting health problems in a cross-cutting manner.
Therefore, the aim is to work on basic transversal competencies for the professional activity and scientific thinking of medical graduates: to work on biomoedical resarch skills and how to apply in the clinical settings,  to work skills to successfully face the care aspect, their relationship with the patient and their relatives and with professionals in the field of health, and also to introduce concepts related with gender medicine, working mainly on transversal skills (communication skills, empathy, self-criticism, reflection, problem solving, execution, teamwork ...) 
 
-These skills will be approached on three clinical simulation scenarios organitzed in two different contexts: 

·      Solving a life-threatening problem: cardio-respiratory arrest (1 scenario) Have the basic tools to do CPR and know how to apply this skills in a scenario that simulates reality. 

·      Resolving a common situation in the field of primary care (2 scenarios) Work on communication skills, empathy, executive ability, teamwork in order to solve a basic clinical situation .

 The subject is mainly practical, based on the methodology of Clinical simulation.

When starting the subject, some theoretical classes will be used to introduce Clinical simulation and to the main aspects regardint simulation scenarios. Students will also prepare autonomously different material in the Campus Virtual.

All these knowledgments are the supporting material that the student has to previously prepare to successfully solve the differnet scenarios. These scenarios are based on Clinical simualtion methodology.

 

- Scenario 1: medium fidelity clinical simulation (PLAB)

-Scenario 2 and 3: High fidelity clinical simulation (PSCA)

 

 

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.

The competences of this subject will be evaluated through the evaluation of the different scenarios.

The understanding and integrated knowledge of the concepts developed in the different activities of the subject, which students must have acquired both in face-to-face classes and by self-learning, as well as active participation in the scenarios, will be evaluated.

Through different objective test: evaluation of previous knowledgment to high fidelity clinical simulation scenarios  (15%). 

Through rubrics, evaluation of integrated concepts developed in the different scenarios of high fidelity clinical simuation, and the implication and motivation of the students  (30% for each PSCA scenario) and also the practical skills and theoretical knowledgment in cardiopulmonary resuscitation maneuvers (25% for PLAB scenario).
