Teaching Methods
Priority will be given to methodologies that encourage personal and professional development of students, based on a research, analysis and discussion of content, leading to the development of skills in the process of differential diagnosis and management of different therapeutic options taking into account the typology of wounds, based on an integrated approach to the Person with Complex Wound and their careers.
The development of content has a theoretical and technical-scientific basis, combining theoretical exposure of programmatic content with classroom exercises; analysis and discussion of cases; seminars and workshops with experts, aimed at clinical reasoning and training of technical skills.
