Teaching methods and learning activities

The participation in lectures and seminars will provide the theoretical support and an integration of the student in the most common and distinctive nosological entities in Pediatric ORL. Moreover, this curricular unit has a strong practical component through a direct tutorial learning in contact with the patient and real problem-oriented situations. The engagement in clinical activities and training in diagnostic manoeuvres will provide to the student the necessary tools to improve his management skills in Pediatric ORL.
