Prerequisites
• Basic knowledge of general pathophysiology, of the male urinary and genital system and of the anatomical and physiological bases of the body to understand the aging process.
• Basic knowledge of human anatomy, genetics, molecular biology, pharmacology.
• Sufficient knowledge of the psychological bases of health and disease states, as well as an adequate level of knowledge in interpersonal communication and professional behavior.
• The student undertakes to preserve the confidentiality and professional secrecy of the data to which he may have access as a result of his learning in the care services. Maintain an attitude of professional ethics in all their actions.

Objectives
• The overall objective of the subject is to provide the student with the knowledge and skills necessary to diagnose and treat nephro-urological conditions.
• It therefore assumes knowledge of the general and basic aspects of these diseases and also offers a vision framed in the global context of the patient.

- This guide describes the framework, contents, methodology and general rules of the subject, in accordance with the current study plan. The final organization of the subject with respect to the number and size of the groups, the distribution in the calendar and the assessment dates, the specific assessment criteria and the review of exams, will be specified in each of the hospital teaching units (UDH). This information will be disseminated to the students using the most suitable means in each UD, web pages, Moodle, the first day of class of the subject and through the teachers responsible for the subject in each UDH.
- The professors currently appointed by the departments as responsible for the subject at Faculty and UDH level are:
- Responsible departments: Medicine and Surgery
- Heads of Faculty: Enrique Trilla Herrera and Roser Torra Balcells
- Head of subject in the UDH: Head of Medicine and Head of Surgery
Assessment

The student will be evaluated on both parts of the subject (Urology and Nephrology) through continuous evaluation tests and a recovery test when any of the parts have not been passed.
This subject does not contemplate the single evaluation system.
1. Continuous evaluation
It will consist of four evaluation evidence and two different typologies. None of the evaluations may exceed 50% of the overall grade of the continuous evaluation.
Two continuous evaluation tests will be carried out for one of the parts of the subject (Urology and Nephrology). For both parts, there will be evidence of evaluation of the theoretical classes and another of seminars and simulation.
1. Evidence of evaluation (partial exam). This evaluation will be test type with multiple answers and only one true answer. The content will be that of the theoretical classes. The total number of questions will be 40, valued at 1 point, subtracting 0.25 for each incorrect answer. Your assessment will be 40% of the overall grade of the continuous evaluation.
2. Evidence of evaluation of the seminar and simulation. It will be done in the form of a rubric. The assessment will be 10% of the overall grade of the continuous evaluation.
To apply continous assessment, regular attendance at theoretical classes, seminars and simulation is advisable.
The evaluation of both parts of the subject will be liberating when a minimum grade of 5/10 has been obtained. Therefore, the partial exam must be passed to be able to add the evaluation part of the seminar and simulation.
In exceptional cases and under justification, the responsible teacher may decide another form of evaluation.
2. Recovery test
Only students who have passed at least 65% of the continuous assessment evidence may take this test.
Students who have not passed one or both parts of the subject, or who wish to raise their grade, will apply. In the case of wanting to raise the grade, the grade obtained in the continuous evaluation will be invalidated.
A multiple-choice evaluation will be conducted for each of the failed parts of the subject (urology,nephrology or both) with 50 multiple-choice questions and only one true answer, valued at 1 point and a penalty of 0.25 points for each incorrect answer.The assessment may contain questions related to theory, simulation and seminars.
In exceptional cases and under justification, the responsible teacher will decide the other form of evaluation.
3. Final qualification
It will be established through the weighted average obtained in the two parts of the subject (Urology and Nephrology), as long as the grade of 5/10 has been exceeded in both. When this is not the case, the final grade for the subject will be failed.
The corresponding honors will be awarded among the excellent ones with the highest grades.
The commission of any irregularity in an assessment act (academic fraud, plagiarism or improper use of AI, unless this use is expressly authorized in the teaching guide), which may lead to a significant variation in the grade, means that this act will be graded with a 0. In the event that the teaching guide provides that in order to pass the subject it is an essential requirement to have obtained a minimum grade in this assessment act or that several irregularities occur in the assessment acts of the same subject, the final grade for this subject is 0. Apart from this, a disciplinary process may be initiated against the student who incurs any of these irregularities.
