Teaching Methods
A variety of methods will be used, according to the characteristics of the group of students and the complexity of the topics to be developed. However, all methodologies will be student-centered, thus requiring active student participation. Thus, we will use the expository and demonstrative method, followed by group discussion; discussion of clinical cases, real or simulated; analysis and discussion of various documents (e.g., films, books, paintings); simulation and role-play.
