The teaching will be developed in lectures of the theoretical contents of the program, of practical classes and discussion of clinical cases with bibliographic orientation in which the student will develop, analyze and will expose contents of the subject and will acquire the competences of this one.

Both, in the discussion of clinical cases and in practices, the participation of students is mandatory, so it is necessary to prepare in advance the contents of the program that will be developed in them.


The evaluation will be carried out in the case of lectures and of seminars by means of exam:

* Lectures: 55% of the final mark.
