Core and general competences
CG 5 – To recognize their own limitations and the need to maintain and update their professional competence, paying special attention.
importance to the autonomous learning of new knowledge and techniques and to the motivation for quality.
CG 6 – To develop professional practice with respect to other health professionals, acquiring teamwork skills.
CG 7 – To understand and recognize the normal structure and function of the human body, at the molecular, cellular, tissue, organic and systems level, in the different stages of life and in both sexes.
CG 9 – To understand and recognize the effects, mechanisms and manifestations of disease on the structure and function of the human body.
GC 23 – To communicate effectively and clearly, both orally and in writing, with patients, family members, other professionals and the media.
CG 31 – To know, critically evaluate, and be able to use clinical and biomedical information sources to obtain, organize, interpret, and communicate scientific and health information.
CG 36 – To be able to formulate hypotheses, collect and critically evaluate information for problem solving, following the scientific method.
CG 37 – To acquire the basic training for research activity.
Specific competences
CEMIV.40 – To practice elementary surgical procedures: cleaning, hemostasis and suturing of wounds.
CEMIV.41 – To perform surgical procedures for obtaining and handling biological samples and for the administration of drugs.
Teaching will be done through master classes and interactive activities. The participation of students and an open approach to all questions that may arise will be encouraged. In the interactive classes, autonomous learning will be promoted and students will work individually and in groups. The participation and attitude of the student in the activities programmed during the course will be monitored. Individualized tutorials will be carried out for learning orientation and resolution of doubts and a public tutorial forum will be set up in the virtual classroom of the subject.
Adaptations of the teaching methodology to the different scenarios:
Scenario 1 (adapted normality): Teaching of the expository and interactive classes will be face-to-face. For specific remote activities, institutional tools and platforms (Virtual Classroom-Moodle and Microsoft Teams) may be used.
Scenario 2 (distancing; partial restrictions to physical attendance): Teaching will be combined with remote attendance in order to apply the social distancing measures in force at that time. Tutorials will preferably be virtual. For remote teaching, institutional tools and platforms will be used (Virtual Classroom-Moodle and Microsoft Teams).
Scenario 3 (closure of the facilities; impossibility of teaching with physical attendance): Teaching will be exclusively virtual, using institutional tools and platforms (Virtual Classroom-Moodle and Microsoft Teams).
Attendance to expository and interactive classes is an indispensable requirement to pass the course. The attitude of the student and the performance and content of the activities programmed during the course will be valued. These aspects will be considered as part of the continuous assessment, which will account for 60% of the final mark.
Students will be able to take a final exam on the contents presented in the expository and interactive classes, which will represent 40% of the final grade.
In the case of fraudulent exercises or tests, the provisions of the Regulations on the Evaluation of Students' Academic Performance and Grade Review will apply (Resolution of 15 June 2011, DOG of 21 July 2011).
Adaptations of the evaluation to the different scenarios:
Scenario 1 (adapted normality): The continuous assessment and the final test will be conducted in person. The resources of the institutional platforms (Virtual Classroom-Moodle and Microsoft Teams) may be used for the continuous evaluation.
Scenario 2 (distancing; partial restrictions on physical attendance): The continuous assessment and the final test will be conducted in person. The resources of the institutional platforms (Virtual Classroom-Moodle and Microsoft Teams) may be used for the continuous evaluation.
Scenario 3 (closure of the facilities; impossibility of teaching with physical attendance): The continuous evaluation will be carried out by registering participation and carrying out activities remotely using the institutional tools and platforms (Virtual Classroom-Moodle and Microsoft Teams). The final test will be carried out using resources that guarantee the identification of the student, as well as the personal nature of the test.
3 ECTS credits:
- Expository classes: 18 hours of attendance.
- Interactive: 10 hours attendance
- Tutorials: 1 hour.
- Test: 1 hour.
- Student's personal work: 45 hours.
To carry out an active learning of the knowledge that is acquired with the development of the agenda, using organized schemes and making links between own and new knowledge. In addition, active participation in classes, periodic study and the use of tutorial hours are recommended. It is important that the student becomes aware of the importance of understanding the concepts and the methods and techniques described, in order to develop skills for their application to practical problems in their future professional life.
Adaptation of the recommendations for study to different scenarios:
Scenario 1 (adapted normality), Scenario 2 (distancing; partial restrictions on physical attendance) and Scenario 3 (closure of facilities; impossibility of teaching with physical attendance): The recommendations for study will be the same for all three scenarios. The tutorials will be of a face-to-face and/or telematic nature and the bibliographic resources may be used in paper (Scenario 1) and/or digital (Scenarios 2 and 3).
Contingency plan
Adaptations of the teaching methodology and assessment system planned for scenarios 2 and 3, according to the "Guidelines for the development of safe classroom teaching for the academic year 2020-2021" of 26 June 2020:
Adaptations of the teaching methodology:
Scenario 2 (distance; partial restrictions on physical attendance): Face-to-face and remote teaching will be combined in order to apply the social distancing measures in force at that time. Tutorials will preferably be virtual. For remote teaching, institutional tools and platforms will be used (Virtual Classroom-Moodle and Microsoft Teams).
Scenario 3 (closure of the facilities; impossibility of teaching with physical attendance): Teaching will be exclusively virtual, using the institutional tools and platforms (Virtual Classroom-Moodle and Microsoft Teams).
Adaptations of the evaluation system:
Scenario 2 (distancing; partial restrictions to physical attendance): The continuous evaluation and the final test will have a face-to-face character. The resources of the institutional platforms (Virtual-Moodle Classroom and Microsoft Teams) may be used for the continuous assessment.
Scenario 3 (closure of the facilities; impossibility of teaching with physical attendance): The continuous evaluation will be carried out by registering participation and carrying out activities remotely using the institutional tools and platforms (Virtual Classroom-Moodle and Microsoft Teams). The final test will be carried out using resources that guarantee the identification of the student, as well as the personal nature of the test.
