Teaching methods and learning activities
Lectures in a frame of critical exposition of theoretical concepts; in order to improve communication they are supported by technologies, which the teacher explores and adjusts . These tools value and promote learning interaction and are mainly digital and alike supported.
Case study learning is particularly valid (PBL), in a preclinical context of simulation of real situations such as need for oral health promotion and treatment of pathology; it favors the integration of scientific knowledge with future clinical practice, cultivates clinical reasoning and allows the development of clinical communication strategies and teamwork.
