Evaluation method
Final classification is in a scale of 0 to 20.
Sixty per cent of this value is obtained from the evaluation on clinical practice following the School assessment for all disciplines.
The remaining 40% are obtained in the written exam: 100 problems true/false to answer in 60 minutes.
Less than 10 or more than 19 points in the written exam implies an oral examination with the Assistant and the Regent.
