Objectives

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 intends to be integrated and multimodal through theoretical, theoretical-practical and practical classes. These approaches allow active participation by students, promoting 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).

Learning outcomes and competences

The results seem us to be very positive, according to the evaluation obtained from the students and the analysis of results that are expressed in the obtained classifications. The large number of students who choose Psychiatry as the area in which they intend to develop their Master's thesis is also one of the aspects that defends this point of view.

The early recognition of certain mental illnesses, allowing timely treatment or referral is of utmost importance. This pre-graduate education provides the student with the skills to take a primary approach to the main issues of the mentally ill person in a future clinical future, whether or not the student opts for Psychiatry specialization.
