In the academic course of the student of Medicine it is fundamental the existence of a space allowing to evaluate the abnormal and / or deviant human behavior, as well as the emotional / affective pathology, giving place to the acquisition of the diagnostic competences and the planning of the treatment of the diseases Psychiatric disorders. It is still necessary to learn about the somatic expression of mental pathology and the psychological reaction to severe physical illness, in a holistic perspective of the understanding of human suffering. The teaching is intended to be integrated and multimodal, through theoretical, theoretical-practical (seminars) and tutorial guidance (practical teaching). These approaches allow active participation by students, promoting more direct contact with people with mental illness, which facilitates the understanding of theoretical knowledge. The classes cover various diagnostic and treatment environments such as hospitalization, day hospital, outpatient clinic, emergency service, consulting and residences, inserted in different functional units (Adult and Elderly Psychiatry, Youth and Family Psychiatry, Community Psychiatry and Day Hospital; Liaison Psychiatry).
