Theoretical lessons (13 hours)

- Learning in this subject will be theoretical and practical. Masterclasses will be held in which the student is intended to interact with the teacher, and visualize the images that allow the understanding of the diseases and clinical signs of the specialty. This will provide the bases that students should expand with reading and consulting the appropriate bibliography. The masterclasses will be taught with the help of powerpoint schemes. This academic year the theoretical classes will be online.Two classes will be held by videoconference to answer questions.

- Throughout videoconference doubts classes, small tests will be carried out that will allow the student to know the evolution of their learning. Class attendance will be taken into account in the final grade.

Practical sessions (18 Hours)

- The practical part consists of seminars, special laboratory practices, and clinical practices. Attendance at all seminars, practices and training activities is mandatory. In the seminars, through the case method and from the clinical signs of the patients, students must establish the differential diagnosis, propose the diagnostic protocol to reach the definitive diagnosis, prescribe the treatment and emit the prognosis. Attempts will be made to ensure that 95% of the labs will bedone on-site.

- 2 hours PLC: Advanced ophthalmological examination practice. Deepen the ophthalmological examination technique and apply it to both, biological and dog models, using the most appropriate protocol in each case. It is compulsory to review the ophthalmic examination class and notes done in MICAC II and any other teaching matherial indicated by the teacher.

- 2 hours PAUL: Videos of the most common ophthalmology surgeries.

Seminars

- 4 hours (2 seminars) Images and clinical cases. Through the case method and from the clinical signs of the patients, students must establish the differential diagnosis, propose the diagnostic protocol to reach the definitive diagnosis, prescribe the treatment and issue the prognosis.

- 2 hours Seminar: Red eye differential diagnosis. This seminar integrates the theoretical knowledge of the whole subject.

Practices

- 8 hours of Clinical Practices. These practices will be carried out at the FHCV (Hospital Clínic Veterinàri Foundation), on the days and times that will be published at the beginning of the subject and to which the student must sign up. In these practices, students will attend consultations of patients with ophthalmic diseases. They will have the opportunity to participate in observing the actions of the clinicians, as well as conducting discussion sessions in very small groups.

Due to the importance of the theoretical contentsof this subject, the presentations will be accompanied, in many occasions, by images and videos. The use of these images and videos for purposes other than studying the subject, as well as the recording of the classes or practices or the total or partial cession thereof, are expressly prohibited and protected by the intellectual property law.

This course does not provide for the single assessment system.

The theoretical exam will be done, basically, in the form of short questions or \"fill spaces\". Some case resolution questions, fill out graphs, schematics or drawings, and some type-test questions may occur. The exam will have to be approved with 50% of the points (5 out of 10) to be able to do half with the rest of the subject's assessments.

The evaluation of the practical program will be developed throughout all the time that the clinical practices and other programmed activities last. The students will be evaluated to determine if they have achieved the learning objectives and the competences assigned to the subject in the syllabus.

In the slide exam (written), the learning of the differential eye diagnosis of the red eye, and the seminars for the interpretation of ophthalmological illnesses, will be evaluated. The images will be accompanied by specific questions that may include listing clinical signs, listing diagnoses, making differentials, proposing or recognizing treatments, recognizing structures and diagnostic tests, etc. In some cases, the questions related to the images can be formulated as a test. The minimum mark to pass will be 5 (out of 10) and will not be done with the other parts of the subject below this note.

Evaluation of the practices. The student will be evaluated during the period of clinical laboratory practices or clinical practices, taking into account the following general criteria:

- Basic knowledge (CT7)

- Interpersonal relations (CT4)

- Learning /initiative / motivation

- Attitude / clinical behavior

The ophthalmology service will use a rubric for PCAs, focused on evaluating the aforementioned general criteria. It will be important how the student completes the exploration sheet, the list of differentials, the theoretical knowledgeto answer the teacher's questions, the presentation of the clinical cases assigned to him/her, etc. The evolution of the student will be taken into account throughout the clinical practices. The final grade will be weighted by 10, with a 5 being required to pass and not doing the average with the remaining notes below that value.

5% of the mark will be of continuous evaluation and includes aspects such as class attendance, behavior/participation in practices, performance in the practice of clinical laboratory (Advanced ophthalmologic exploration), results of kahoots ... etc. In the practice of the clinical laboratory will take into account the ability of the student to carry out the exploration, as well as the knowledge about ophthalmology exploration acquired in MICAC II.

Any irregularity in an assessment activity (academic fraud, plagiarism, or improper use of AI, that may lead to a significant change in the grade will result in that activity being graded with a 0.

If the course guide establishes that passing the subject requires obtaining a minimum grade in that assessment activity, or if multiple irregularities occur in the assessment activities of the same subject, the final grade for the subject will be 0.

In addition, a disciplinary procedure may be initiated against any student who engages in such irregularities.

The student that does less than 50% of the activities evaluable in the subject, will obtain the qualification of NOT EVALUABLE. The activities evaluated in the subject are Theoretical classes, the whole practical program, and the theory and slide examinations.E
