Clinical Placements

Type: Supervised Clinical Practice (PCA)

Content: Clinical practice at a Primary Care Centre (CAP) for a total of 21 hours. Students are assigned in pairs (groups of 2).

Seminars

Type: Specialised Seminars (SESP)

Group size: Up to 25 students

Duration: 6 sessions of 2 hours each (with 10 minutes allocated for assessment)

Scheduling: Organised by each Hospital Teaching Unit (UDH)

Seminar content:

• Seminar 1: Clinical interview (How to deliver bad news)

• Seminar 2: Foundations of research in primary care

• Seminar 3: Home care

• Seminar 4: Preventive activities

• Seminar 5: Care of individuals with multiple health conditions and polypharmacy

• Seminar 6: Deprescribing and quaternary prevention

Given the nature of the seminars (work based on clinical cases), students are expected to have reviewed the seminar materials in advance. These will be made available through the Virtual Campus.

Exceptionally, and based on the judgement of the course coordinators, the availability of resources, and the current public health situation within each Teaching Unit, some of the theoretical, practical, and seminar content may be delivered either in person or online.

Note: 15 minutes of one session, within the timeframe established by the centre/degree programme, will be allocated for students to complete course and teaching performance evaluations.

Note: 15 minutes of class will be reserved,within the calendar established by center/degree, for students to complete the surveys to evaluate the performance of the teaching staff and to evaluate the subject.

Annotation: within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

This course does not offer a single final evaluation option.

The assessment is continuous, based on attendance and the evaluation of various learning activities.

To pass the course, it is essential to meet the following requirements:

a) 100% attendance of clinical placements at the Primary Care Centre (CAP) (21 hours)

b) 100% attendance of the seminars (6 seminars)

c) A minimum grade of 5 out of 10 in the final seminar assessment

d) Aminimum grade of 5 out of 10 in the final course examination

Honours Distinctions (Matrículas de Honor) will be awarded among the highest final marks. The minimum grade required to be eligible for this distinction is 9.5 out of 10.

The final evaluation will consist of 3 components:

1. Evaluation of clinical placements in the Primary Care Centre (CAP)

This assessment will be carried out by the clinical tutor at the CAP and will include the following components:

-Attendance and punctuality at practices (maximum 10 points)

-Professional and ethical attitude (maximum 10 points)

-Communication with the people being treated and the rest of the team (maximum 10 points)

-Clinical decision-making (maximum 10 points)

-Comprehensive approach to people (maximum 10 points)

This component accounts for 35% of the final grade.

2. Evaluation of the seminars

The knowledge and skills acquired will be assessed through a short-answer test (2 to 4 questions) or a clinical case related to the seminar topic. This evaluation will take place at the end of each seminar (duration: 10 minutes).In seminras where flipped classroom methodology is used, people who actively participate in the presentation will be evaluated by the professor responsible for the seminar through questions .

This component accounts for 15% of the final grade.

3.Assessment through Objective Testing (Final Examination)

The final examination consists of a multiple-choice test and/or short-answer questions.

Multiple-choice questions may include either single-best-answer or multiple-answer formats. Unanswered questions will not be penalized; incorrect answers will result in a deduction of points.

Students who have not fulfilled 100% attendance at practical placements and seminars will not be eligible to sit this examination.

This assessment accounts for 50% of the final course grade.

Non-Assessable Students

A student will be considered non-assessable if any of the following circumstances apply:

a) Failure to attend 100% of the Primary Care Centre (CAP) placements (21 hours).

b) Failure to attend 100% of the six seminars.

Resit Examination

Students who do not pass the final examination (grade below 5.0/10), or who are unable to take it due to justified personal circumstances, may sit a resit examination.

Failure of the Course

Students who do not pass the course must re-enrol in a subsequent academic year.

Students who have completed 100% of the Primary Care Centre (CAP) placements will not be required to repeat them. However, attendance at all seminars will again be mandatory in order to be eligible to sit the final examination in the subsequent enrolment period.

Any irregularity committed during an assessment activity (including academic fraud, plagiarism, or improper use of Artificial Intelligence, unless such use is expressly authorized in the course guide) that may lead to a significant alteration of the assessment outcome will result in a grade of 0 for that assessment activity. If the course guide establishes that obtaining a minimum grade in that assessment activity is an essential requirement for passing the course, or if multiple irregularities occur in assessment activities within the same course, the final course grade will be 0. In addition, disciplinary proceedings may be initiated against any student involved in such misconduct.
