Teaching method
The students will be divided into small groups and each one of those groups will have ten interactive lectures (50m each) covering all course programs.
Then they will select a practical classs series that will always include at least once an out clinic patients, emergency and operating theatre staying.
Interactive lectures
The entire program will be addressed through an interactive expositive and demonstrative method technique.
Students will be encouraged to perform a question / group answer exercise during lectures where group work advantages will be enhanced.
Practical classes
Students will be actively participating in departments daily activities at the operating theatre, out clinic patients and emergency department.
They will directly contact with the patients observing senior surgeons performing their regular tasks.
Students that for justified reasons do not attend the regular activities of the curricular unit will be able to require from the Course Director permission to attend classes in a different group.
Evaluation method
A final oral evaluation will occur at the end of the course
This evaluation will always include a trauma as well as a non traumatic subject discussion.
There will be a 1st, 2nd and a special call
