Learning Outcomes of the Curricular Unit:
The objectives are:(i) to provide knowledge in Patology, (ii) to give the bases for interpretation of histopathology, (iii) to apply the knowledge obtained and, (iv) to develop critical skills in learning and communication.
Syllabus:
Regarding the objective that the students must contact and know how to interpret a large spectrum of pathological analytical patterns, the following pathologies will be taught: hematological, cardiovascular, hepatic, pancreatic, genitourinary, respiratory, neurological, infectious, metabolic, toxic and therapeutic monitorization. In all of them, definition, classification, etiology, clinical pictures, clinical and laboratorial diagnosis will be elucidated. Besides theoretical explanation, all students will present a clinical case related with respective issue followed by an interactive debate. The evaluation will be continued, integrating the clinical case presentation, assiduity and participation.
Demonstration of the Syllabus Coherence with the Curricular Unit's Objectives:
Clinical pathology objectively give knowledge of basic mechanisms of diseases; macro/microscopic morphological study of General pathological processes, with attention to the causes and development of abnormal situations the Organization/scientific pedagogical school of this uc comprehensive themes will be selected and binders which give rise to justified membership and student participation and encourage critical curiosity/scientific Relationship of pathological changes with clinical manifestations of the disease as well, the student will be instructed to interpret the semiology be able to integrate it into the underlying pathophysiological processes and to ascertain the ability of interpretative clinical pictures Seeks mainly to stimulate the student the ability to understand the changes of the mechanisms of the body functions, the collection and interpretation of clinical data, as the diagnostic tests Relate the processes of disease with clinical the analytical results
Teaching Methodologies (Including Evaluation):
The student is expected to participate actively, whenever prompted constructive suggestions and ideas to improve the school, in particular in its clarity and pedagogic aspect will be appreciated accentuates the privilege to gain a better understanding of the uc, if the student devote part of the time not school attendance, the programmatic content of lectures and theoretical-practical. At the end of each programmer item explained in theoretical classes, the student will find in its platform "e-learning" relevant issues about explicit content or not class the student should try to respond, either directly or by research-oriented/driven to self-evaluate theoretical Assessment (70%): 2 written tests which will be drawn up to cover a representative sample of the topics explored in the classroom Theoretical-practical assessment (30%): realization and oral presentation of 3 works, a strand of laboratory testing, with power-point presentation and open discussion to the class, performance as
Demonstration of the Coherence between the Teaching Methodologies and the Learning Outcomes:
The teacher-student proximity is an added value in teaching-learning relationship. Promotion of discussion with students and between students of concepts, themes and topical cases in clinical and laboratory practice. Encourage the student's active role in the search for knowledge/information that will enable the students not only the consolidation of the concepts learned, but also the application of the theoretical knowledge acquired by various sources and consequently develop critical and scientific skills for the curricular unit.
