Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Since the goal is to provide students with real-world clinical experience, their integration
into the Services and the ratio are particularly important for this Hippocratic phase of
learning. Contact with services that demonstrate the highest prevalence of clinical
situations in the daily routine of general medicine allows for progressive adaptation to real-world experience.
Without losing this sense, however, there are activities that allow students to develop their
self-esteem and personal enrichment (Portfolio), as well as others that promote their
skills, such as advanced life support, for which a specific course is available,
and another on good therapeutic practices.
Although the knowledge component is strategically based on the reference book in
medicine, the practical component, assessed through mini-clinical
exams, is not overlooked.
