Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Teaching methodology integrating: theoretical and practical classes to acquire knowledge about the techniques to be applied, exercise resolution to exemplify the calculation of vision parameters related to the techniques and analysis of clinical cases; practical laboratory classes for practicing clinical procedures, including the application of diagnostic ocular drugs; complement to the theoretical and practical training with the use of self-study and observation of real patients with ocular pathology. Evaluation using theoretical tests, practical tests of clinical procedures and referral reports to other health professionals, based on clinical case analysis.
