Teaching method
· Theoretical lessons in each semester there will be 42 theoretical lessons of 50 minutes each, on the most important issues of paediatric diseases. Teachers will be offered the possibility of e-learning lessons if it would be felt as necessary to cover more diseases. If this option is presente, the time destined to each specialty will be directed to resolving doubts, discussing problems and clinical cases.
· Theoretical-practical lesson mainly in cardiology to groups to 10 to 12 students in the ward. It is admitted that during the year they may be applied in other fields.
· Clinical practical lessons they will occur from 9am to 1pm in the Paediatric ward on in the emergency ward or outpatient clinic.
· Non-clinical practical lessons lessons by simulation where procedures and techniques will be teach and trained to groups of 7 / 8 students.
· Seminars The group of students of each Assistant will choose an issue to speak about at the end of the 5 weeks. The best presentation may be selected to be presented at the National Congress of Paediatrics.
