Content
This course is organized in two blocks:
BLOCK I: Practicum with transversal content (otorhinolaryngological pathology, language, communication, hearing, non-verbal oral functions).
100 hours of internship will be carried out in a center chosen from among those with which we have an agreement.
BLOCK II: Practicum in oropharyngeal dysphagia.
20 hours of small group practice will be carried out in the Digestive Motility Unit of the Mataró Hospital (CSdM), under the coordination of Dr. Pere Clavé.
NOTE: The language will depend on the language used by the center, patients and professionals

BLOCK I: Internships in external centers
- They will attend the assigned center in the morning and / or in the afternoon. Consult the offer of external internships for more information on the type of center and the activities in which you can participate.
- In these centers students will participate actively in tasks of diagnosis and speech therapy intervention, discussing the cases with speech therapists. You may be required to wear a dressing gown.
- The student will have a tutor at the center who will supervise the whole learning process.
- Duties for students:
1. Attend assigned days and times.
2. Communicate to your tutor any problem that affects the development of the practice.
3. Know and respect the rules and structure of the operation of the center.
4. Keep professional secrecy with absolute rigor.
- The student will be able to choose between:
a) Outpatient care centers: Speech therapy centers in agreement with CatSalut, with which the Autonomous University of Barcelona has signed an agreement, as well as the Clinical School of Neuropsychology and Language Pathology (Hospital de Sant Pau) and other centers.
b) Hospital care centers: Hospital units that incorporate speech therapists among their professionals.
BLOCK II: Internship in Oropharyngeal dysphagia.
- This block aims to expand the student’s knowledge of oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD), its symptoms and clinical and instrumental diagnosis, potentially associated clinical complications, and the basics of compensatory and rehabilitative treatment. It is performed in the Digestive Motility Unit at the Maresme Hospital Consortium (Hospital de Mataró).
- The distribution of the students in the four days of internship (two days per week during two weeks) in the hospital will be done by the Administrative Management of the Faculty combining this attendance with the one of block 1. with the rest of practices.
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 evaluation of the course will be based on the following evidence (all are individual):
BLOCK I: Internship in an external center (70% of the total of the subject)
The evaluation is based on the work carried out by the students in the center and which is evaluated by the center's tutor. The predisposition, interest and performance of the students are considered.
BLOCK II. Internship in oropharyngeal dysphagia (15% of the total of the course)
The evaluation is based on the work carried out by the students in the center and which is evaluated by the center's tutor. The predisposition, interest and performance of the students are taken into account.
Self-assessment report (15% of the total of the course).
FINAL GRADE OF THE STUDENT:
It will be the weighted sum of the grades of each block and the experience essay.
Passing the subject: To pass the subject the mark of each evidence must be at least 5,0 points (scale 0-10). In addition, assistance for the minimum amount of hours of internships are required. (90 % of assistance in each block)
Not assessable: A student who has given assessment activities with a weight of less than 4,0 points (40%) will be listed as "not assessable".
Resit: Internships in external centers will not be subject to resit. The self-assessment report can be resit.
In case of not passing the subject, the maximum grade that will appear in the transcript will be 4.5.
