Learning Goals
Students must:
1. Acquire knowledge and skills in specific therapeutic areas, integrating and applying the contents of pharmacology and pharmacotherapy;
2. Identify and characterize the different pathophysiological conditions and recognize the available therapeutic alternatives;
3. Integrate the pharmacological/pharmacotherapeutic approach in the context of the care trajectory, for each specific patient;
4. Identify, describe and characterize the different therapeutic groups and active ingredients available for each studied disease, regarding mechanism of action, indication, dosage and adverse events;
5. Understand, conceive and develop opinion and critical analysis on diagrams and treatment algorithms, guidelines and existing therapeutic protocols;
6. Analyze, resolve and discuss clinical cases, simulated and real, according to the contents taught.

Teaching Methods
Theoretical teaching will be essentially expository. The constructivist aspect will also be advocated, in a transversal way, in T and TP sessions.
In EC, the method will be based on learning in a real context, with observation/participation in clinical activities, developed in places where care is provided where the pharmacist develops his professional activity. These sessions will be supervised by a tutor in the local context and by the teaching staff of the UC, being carried out in institutions with a collaboration protocol in teaching with the UÉ.
At the seminar, a guest pharmacist will share with students, the applicability of the UC's disciplinary component, in a real context.
The evaluation will be divided into two stages:
i) Continuous assessment - T (60%), two tests; TP (20%), with presentation/discussion of practical cases; and clinical teaching (20%), evaluated according to the established criteria - case report.
ii) Total assessment by final exam (100%) - T + TP + EC.
