Objectives

The objectives of this curricular unit consist in: 1) showing the importance of medical devices for different clinical applications; 2) provide tools for selecting medical devices for each clinical case; and 3) motivate the students for the clinical research in this area.

Learning outcomes and competences

In an increasingly technological era, the syllabus covered by this curricular unit will provide the medical students with knowledge about the evolution of medical devices throughout the history of medicine, the basic regulations for the approval of a medical device, as well as the development cycle, use and wear of medical devices.

With this UC we pretend to encourage students to the field of medical devices, from its conception, through development and use. Provide the basic knowledge and generic scientific skills (devices, implants, regular) for the selection and application of medical devices (information management, critical thinking, independent learning, application of theoretical knowledge in solving practical problems and research capacity).
