Objectives

EMC2, curricular unit based on clinical rotations with strong medico-surgical integration, encompasses several specialties, with focus on cardiovascular, respiratory, and  head & neck medicine, urology and anesthesia. The main goal is to experience hospital reality. The program is based on specific objectives and competences to be acquired, defined for each specialty. Teaching is theorico-practical, covering the most relevant themes in each specialty, guided by a logbook (knowlege, skills, competences and attitudes to acquire, record of daily contacts and activities), guide for learning and support for evaluation. It is expected that a student will acquire as many competences, skills and contacts as possible and train professional attitudes. The knowledge and competence integration culminates in a series of Grand rounds in which several clinical cases are discussed by the different specialties and students.

Teaching method

Each rotation departs with an appropriate theoretical frame, that includes the most relevant subjects per speciality, and a practical component by integration in the services. Each module contemplates teching/learning strategies that favour concept sedimentation, skills and competence acquisition, in a clinical environment. The logbook use, as a guide and facilitator in the learning process is fundamental. This enables the student to both assimilate the core concepts and information of each module and to deepen the areas of own interest. Final evaluation results from ponderation between theorical and practical evaluation. Theorical evaluation is a multiple choice test, with ponderation of the relative wheights of each speciality. Practical evaluation is structured around the analysis and discussion of the logbooks. Final grade is calculated by the weighted average of 60% theorical and 40% practical. Classifications are given in a scale of 0 to 20.
