Teaching language

Suitable for English-speaking students

Objectives

Anatomical and functional integration of different organs and body systems.
Acquisition of a knowledge base that can be applied later in other courses of the course and in future clinical practice.

Learning outcomes and competences

At the end of this course the student should:
- Problem-solving skills;
- Self-learning;
- Critical thinking;
- Ability to measure the practical functioning of the various organs and systems;
- Morphophysiological problems of identification in selected clinical cases.
For this purpose will be adopted an integrated approach morphofunctional with the involvement of Anatomists, histologists and physiologists.

Working method

Teaching methods and learning activities

The teaching of the course is distributed in the form of practical classes (17h), practical classes (34h) and tutorials (4h), making a total of 57 contact hours (including 2 hours for evaluation).

Evaluation Type

Distributed evaluation with final exam

Calculation formula of final grade

The final classification (CF) will be calculated using the formula: CF = (2CT + 1CP) / 3

 

Classification improvement

Students wishing to improve the 
classification obtained in this UC 
will have to repeat the practical 
exams of Anatomy,
 Histology and Embryology, 
and Physiology. If the weighted average 
of the classifications obtained in the
 practical exams of Anatomy, Histology 
and Embryology, and Physiology is ≥ 10 
values, students will also have to 
attend the theoretical exam.
