Basic and general
CB7 that students know how to apply the knowledge acquired and their ability to solve problems in new or little-known environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their area of study.
CB8 that students are capable of integrating knowledge and facing the complexity of formulating judgments based on information that, being incomplete or limited, includes reflections on social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgments.
CG1 know, understand and apply the principles, methodologies and new technologies of optometry, as well as the acquisition of the skills and competences described in the general objectives of the title.
CG3 acquire knowledge and skills necessary for its incorporation into specialized professional exercise and research in the field of optometry.
CG4 Integrate knowledge and face decision making based on scientific, technical and clinical information. CG5 transmit the results of research to specialized, academic and general practical audiences.
Transversal
CT1 Participate in debates and discussions, direct them and coordinate them and be able to summarize them and extract the most relevant and accepted conclusions from them.
CT2 Use the different oral, written exposure techniques, presentations, panels, etc., to communicate your knowledge, proposals and positions.
CT3 develop critical and self-critical capacity and decision-making.
CT4 Skill for the Management of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)
CT5 reflection capacity from different perspectives of knowledge.
Specific
CE1 Acquire specific clinical action criteria to specialize the student in the different clinical fields of visual care: pediatric optometry, geriatric optometry, visual therapies, low vision, ocular surface and contact lenses. CE5 know, understand and apply screening concepts in visual and eye-primary care.
IC6 apply the methodology and procedures of scientific research in vision science
MD1. Theoretical content: virtual teaching in which the contents of the theoretical program, clinical cases and / or general examples will be made available to students in different presentation formats that may be accompanied by audio and / or explanatory video in an online environment.
MD2. Seminars / Laboratory / Jobs: The student must prepare the development of the activity with the help of the teacher. Includes reading of articles, analysis of the methodology and discussion of the results.
MD3. Clinical practice: it includes the accomplishment of clinical practices in reduced modules.
MD4. Tutorials: Customized and / or remote personalized tutorials.
The resulting grade will be the result of: 1) Theoretical final exam corresponding to the knowledge and skills acquired during the practices, which represents 60%; 2) Evaluation of practices and resolution of clinical cases, which represents the remaining 40%.
For cases of fraudulent completion of exercises or tests, the provisions contained in the Regulations for the evaluation of the academic performance of students and the review of qualifications will apply.
Individual autonomous study or group 51 h
Recommended readings, Library activities or similar 3 h
Preparation of oral presentations, discussions or similar 1 h
Assistance to talks, exhibitions or other recommended activities 1 h
Total Study and Personal Work of the student 56 h
Daily reading of the topics available on the Master's on-line platform.
Use of established channels to solve doubts through the aforementioned platform.
Supplement the contents available with the recommended bibliography.
Para los casos de realización fraudulenta de ejercicios o pruebas será de aplicación el recogido en la Normativa de evaluación del rendimiento académico de los estudiantes y de revisión de cualificaciones.
