Demonstration of the Coherence between the Teaching Methodologies and the Learning Outcomes:
On this curricular unit, by means of Theoretical and Laboratorial Practices, students will acquire the essential information to be guided in the clinical observation of patients, clinical diagnosis, complementary examination when required, full integrated diagnosis and adequate treatment of abnormal conditions, within their scope of action. Basic and advanced clinical acts will be conducted with teacher supervision. Continuous assessment allows the student to be aware of the progression of their skills and competences in the various components.
