Teaching method
|
Practical classes for case presentations with initial and final discussion will be used. Observation of individual and group consultations in adults and pediatric diabetology environment will be a major part of the course. In the remaining time, active methodologies will be used: group work, simulations ("role-play").
All the contents are organized in the resolution of clinical cases that allow placement of diagnostic hypotheses, therapeutic choices and discussing prognosis always making the link between basic science and clinical application and its transposition into Public Health. The aspects of communication and exchange of experiences among the clinic staff and the research team will be valued.

Evaluation method
The assessment of this course will be carried out continuously and will take into account - continuous assessment of students (25% of total assessment) and a final report writing stage that includes all the presented tasks and works (75% of total assessment).
