Objectives and Contextualisation
The subject is taught in the first semester of the first year of the Degree of Medicine and is part of the obligatory group of subjects. In the educational perspective, the realization of the “Clinical Care Practice I” aims to be an opportunity so that the student who initiates the Degree of Medicine can enter in the social health system from its base: the primary health care. The student accesses through the same gateway as the patients, their relatives and other users do. The “Clinical Care Practice I” encompasses the paradigm of learning from action - that is, from the practice that day-to-day professionals of the healthcare system - and want to be located in both the perspective of learning to learn as a global health promotion. Likewise, it postulates the need for students to contact early with their first level of care and the health system's door. Consequently, the course provides opportunities for students to acquire knowledge and develop skills and attitudes related to the contexts typical of basic health care and the practice of the medical profession in the community that they will serve. The objectives and contents of this subject are complemented with those of the subjects “Introduction to the Health Sciences” and “Integrated Learning in Medicine I”.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Delivery of the correctly completed reflective portfolio to the Virtual Campus | 20% | 1 | 0.04 | 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 10, 3, 13 |

The evaluation of the Clinical Care Practice I consists of two differentiated sections. First, in the third visit to the CAP, the entire learning process, including the student's activities and the role of facilitator of the tutor (blocks A, B and C), will be subject to qualitative assessment in a group. The Reflective Portfolio, with the annotations of the experiences lived during the visits and the reflections raised, will be the main instrument to make clear the degree of achievement of the objectives of the Clinical Care Practice I corresponding to this learning activity. The result of this evaluation will be SATISFACTORY or NON-SATISFACTORY, constituting a necessary requirement without which the subject cannot be passed.
Second, there will be an objective test with multiple answers (Selection Items: Multiple Choice Items) that will include contents corresponding to the Primary Care Seminar (blocks D, E and F), this part is equivalent to 5 points (out of 10) of the overall grade of the subject. The student must obtain at least 2.5 points to pass this section.
The evaluation of the seminars on health and illness processes in its historical and cultural context (block G) and Gender and Medicine (block H) equals 4 points (out of 10) of the overall grade of the subject and will be carried out by means of practical cases and problem solving (participation in the seminar and presentation and presentation of work). The student must obtain at least 2 points to pass this section.
Attendance and active participation in classes and seminars with a weight of 10% on the note will be taken into account, this section equals 1 point and students must obtain at least half a point to pass this section.
In order for the assessment to be effective, the students must pass each one of the different tests separately and this note will only be effective if the students has been satisfactorily assessed by the teachers of the CAP and adequately reflected in the place reserved in the Reflective Portfolio.
On carrying out each evaluation activity, lecturers will inform students (on Moodle) of the procedures to be followed for reviewing all grades awarded, and the date on which such a review will take place.
The students who have not passed the subject will be able to submit to a proof of recovery of the blocks D, E and F. The recovery of the evaluation of the blocks A, B, C, G and H is not contemplated given the consideration practice of this activity.
To participate in the recovery students must have previously been evaluated of thematic blocks whose weight equals to a minimum of two thirds of the total grade of the subject.
In addition, to participate in the recovery, students must have obtained at least 3.5 in the total grade of the subject.
Students who do not perform both theoretical and practical evaluation tests will be considered as "Not evaluated", exhausting the rights to the matriculation of the subject.
Students will obtain a Not assessed/Not submitted course grade unless they have submitted more than 1/3 of the assessment items.
In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded to an assessment activity, the student will be given a zero for this activity, regardless of any disciplinary process that may take place. In the event of several irregularities in assessment activities of the same subject, the student will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject.
This subject does not incorporate single assessment.
