Basic and complementary bibliography
Recommended textbooks
Basic
* CRUZ (Manual of Pediatrics, 4 edition 2020)
Generals
* CRUZ (Treaty of Pediatrics 11th edition 2014).
* NELSON (Treaty of Pediatrics, 21th edition 2020).
* Illustrated Textbook of Paediatrics, 5 Ed. Lissauer T, Will Carroll W (eds). Elsevier 2017
In addition, teachers will provide sufficient complementary bibliographic material in advance depending on the topics taught.
The student must know that the child is a human being in growth, maturation and development with special physiological, pathological and semiological components.
Acquisition of specific skills both in the history and for the diagnosis and treatment in the pediatric age of the different pathologies.
Learning outcomes
Acquisition of specific skills both in the history, as for the assessment of normal and pathological growth and development, as well as for the diagnosis and treatment in the pediatric age of the different pathologies.
• Contribute to the maintenance and improvement of the health of the child population.
• Know the principles and foundations of child growth and development as well as nutrition in different pediatric ages.
• Train the student for the correct preparation of the clinical history, with special emphasis on the particular aspects of the pediatric history.
• Know the characteristics of the various diseases in the pediatric age.
• Provide the student with the ability to recognize frequent situations of pediatric emergency and immediate actions to be taken.
Expository classes, seminars and clinical practice, with the use of simulation.
Teaching can be face-to-face or non-face-to-face according to the scenarios contemplated in the “Guidelines for or development of safe face-to-face teaching. Course 2020-2021 ”and the“ Bases for the development of a safe face-to-face teaching shower. Course 2020-2021 "
The formative activities of exposition of knowledge and procedures and of individual study of the student will be evaluated by means of a written test, that will suppose 90% of the final mark. It will be carried out using an objective multiple-choice test of four options with a single true answer. Each correct answer adds 1 point and is penalized by subtracting 0.33 points for each incorrect answer. The estimated time to complete the exercise is one minute per question.
10% of the final mark will be obtained from the training activities in which students carry out some type of work or group or individual activity, which will be evaluated based on the documentation provided by the student (reports) and the activity carried out in the clinical practice, which will be evaluated based on the work done by the student, as well as the skills and attitudes shown during their performance.
The student must work his time of personal work in individual study, search of materials, elaboration of works and exhibition of materials, solution of problems and revision of the support material.
It is recommended to be able to read texts in English, as well as to have basic knowledge of working with a PC.
Contingency Plan
In the Teaching Methodology and in the Learning Assessment System, both synchronous and asynchronous telematic means will be used in order to contemplate the possibility of implementing the three possible scenarios:
normality, scenario 2 and scenario 3
