Clinical practice in the operating room and ambulatory guidance are also included. In selecting the program, the Portuguese reality of a high number of urologic diseases, an increase in the prevalence of the urologic diseases in the future, and the reduced exercise of clinical Urology in a large number of hospital units were considered. In this way, the future general physicians will be qualified to provide urologic care to the community.
Hospital Management
MI001 - ECTS
Over the last decades the crisis of the Welfare State in European countries led to a different approach with regards healthcare access. Indeed, the economic and financial lack of sustainability of most healthcare systems is a major social and political concern. In this context, the traditional practice of Medicine must be reframed in accordance with the traditional principles of medical ethics – beneficence and non-maleficence – the fundamental values of modern democracies – equity in the access to social goods – but also taking into consideration cost-containment in healthcare.
In this vein, the scarcity of resources implies that the medical decision-making process is also determined by opportunity cost criteria. That is, the balance of the sacrifices that will be imposed to other patients by medical decisions. Therefore, medical education should include the basic principles of hospital management that are a determinant for good clinical practice.
