Teaching will be developed in expository classes of the theoretical contents of the program, and practical classes and discussion of clinical cases with a bibliographic orientation in which the student will develop, analyze and expose contents of the subject and will acquire the competences of this one.
There are 3 possible scenarios (for 2 and 3 see Comments).
Scenario 1: Adapted normality
Scenario 1 is characterized by coexistence with certain measures of prevention, self-protection of the population (facial masks, use of disinfectant gels, etc.) and maintenance of restrictions that affect events of a certain influx of people.
The measures of adaptation of the teaching corresponding to this scenario are:
- The expository and interactive teaching will be of face-to-face character.
- The tutorials can be carried out partially virtually.
The student will have to pass at least 50% of the proposed activities.
The evaluation will be carried out continuously and globally according to the following criteria and scenarios.
Scenario 1: Adapted normality
A) Continue:
-Contents corresponding to expository and seminar teaching through various face-to-face tests (20%).
- Participation in the classes that allow to know the acquisition of knowledge of the students (10%)
B) Final face-to-face test of the contents corresponding to theory and seminars 70%)
For scenarios 2 and 3 see Comments

The measures of adaptation of the teaching corresponding to this scenario are:
- The teaching will be completely virtual, and will be given in the schedules of the subject established by the center.

A) Continue:
- Contents corresponding to expository and seminar teaching: It will be done through several face-to-face and / or telematic tests. In the latter case there will be oral tests (20%).
- Participation in the classes that allow to know the acquisition of knowledge of the students (10%)
