Teaching Methods
Teaching will be done through the expository methodology, with theoretical and theoretical-practical classes.
In the theoretical-practical classes, students will be distributed in groups to address themes and clinical cases.
Assessment will be done by written examination, corresponding to 75% of the final classification. The remaining 25% (5 values) will be obtained through the assessment performed during the theoretical-practical sessions, related with a case-study.
