Recognize, diagnose and guide the management of the main pathologies of the central and peripheral nervous system. Knowing how to perform and interpret the neurologic examination, neuroimaging, lumbar puncture, electroencephalogram and electromyogram and knowledge of the indications of major neurophysiological techniques as well as the foundations and interpretation of ultrasounds. It is also necessary that students know the main routes of surgical approaches.
It will be based on lectures and seminars and will significantly rely on clinical teaching. Students will have tutored hours to guide them in learning medical-surgical diseases of the nervous system.
The exams will be multiple choice, with 5 replies, just a valid. The wrong answers subtracted score (number of wrong answers / 3). Will be required to pass over 70%. The total duration of the test is calculated by 2 minutes per 3 questions.
Lesson attendance is mandatory in each of the groups to which the student is assigned. This aspect can be used for the final qualification. Five or more absences may prevent presentation to the examination.The final grade corresponds to the grade of the theoretical exam.
It is estimated that students should spend 2 hours of study and individual work for each theme, and 1 h for each seminar.
Assistance to lectures and seminars is mandatory. Students should compare their notes with the general literature or recommended literature that each teacher could punctually provide.
METODOLOGÍA EN FUNCIÓN DE LOS ESCENARIOS EN RELACIÓN CON LA ENFERMEDAD POR CORONAVIRUS
A) Clases expositivas en grupo grande: Lección magistral impartida por el profesor.
El profesor contará con el apoyo de medios audiovisuales e informáticos. Habitualmente estas clases seguirán los contenidos del manual de referencia.
En el caso de que estas clases no se pudieran impartir de forma presencial por encontrarse a USC en el escenario 2 o 3 (Bases para o desenvolvemento dunha docencia presencial segura. Curso 2020-2021), estas clases serán impartidas todas o en parte por videoconferencia. En el caso del escenario 2 se buscará de forma consensuada con el alumnado la manera de que todos los alumnos tengan la oportunidad de asistir en persona a alguna de las clases siempre manteniendo las precauciones sanitarias.
B) Seminarios en grupo reducido.
Clase teórico/práctica en las que se proponen y resuelven aplicaciones de la teoría, problemas, ejercicios… Se preparará material de los mismos para que sea lo más práctico posible a pesar de la distancia.
En el caso de que estos seminarios no se pudieran llevar a cabo de forma presencial por encontrarse a USC en los escenarios 2 o 3 (Bases para o desenvolvemento dunha docencia presencial segura. Curso 2020-2021), cada una de estas clases será impartidas del siguiente modo:
1) En el horario establecido para cada grupo de seminarios, los alumnos se conectarán por videoconferencia a una breve sesión de 10 minutos en la que el profesor presentará el seminario.
2) En un segundo tiempo los alumnos trabajarán conectados de forma individual o en pequeños grupos planteando las dudas a los profesores para tratar de resolver las cuestiones planteadas.
3) En un tercer tiempo, todos los alumnos se conectarán a una videoconferencia única para presentar los trabajos realizados.
El profesor estará permanentemente conectado y accesible para contestar las cuestiones o dudas de los alumnos.
C) Tutorías individuales o en grupo muy reducido.
Aclaración de dudas sobre las clases explicativas e interactivas. Estas clases se llevarán a cabo de forma presencial en el escenario 2 o por videoconferencia en el escenario 3.
