1. Main clinical manifestations in surgery
2. Dysphagia. Functional pathology of esophagus and gastroesophageal junction
3. Upper gastrointestinal bleeding
4. Carcinomas of the esophagus and stomach
5. Peptic disease
6. Acute abdomen
7. Biliary lithiasis
8. Acute/chronic pancreatitis
9. Abdominal wall hernias
10. Trauma
11. Vomiting in infants. HPS, GER

 

B- 3 seminars (1 hour each). Vertical integration with Imagiology (Imagiology of gastrointestinal tract), Pathology (Esophago-gastric carcinoma), and Therapeutics (Pharmacologic therapy of peptic ulcer), to (10) groups of 30 students.

 

C- 7 practical lessons (2 hours each) to each of the 60 groups. Addressing the semiology of: Abdominal wall; Esophagus; Stomach; Small bowel and ileocecal appendix; Hepatobiliary system; Pancreas.

Eligibility for exams

- If ttendance of at least 75% of the activities mentioned in teaching methodologies (except lectures), and distribution assessment of at least 10/20 points.

Calculation formula of final grade

- Final exam: theoretical exam.

- Final grade. C (classification): 0.3xDA + 0.7xT, where: DA: distribution assessment; T: theoretical exam consisting of 20 to 25 groups of questions with 100 statements for choosing between true/false (penalties for incorrect choose).

- Approval if C ≥ 10 with T ≥ 9 points.

- Final classification = C for scores between 0 and 18; final classification > 18 requires oral exam only available for C ≥ 19 points.
