  3. Medical pathology
  4. Clinical pharmacology

 

If the following subjects have not been passed, it should be incompatible: Medical Physiology I and II. Human Anatomy Medical Psychology. Human Anatomy: Structural and Molecular Pathology. General Pharmacology. Physiopathology and Clinical Semiology. Epidemiology. Basics of Clinical Surgery. Psychiatry Clinical practice 3 Family medicine

The student will acquire the commitment to preserve the confidentiality and professional secrecy of the data that he may have access to because of the learning in the assistance services. Also in maintaining an attitude of professional ethics in all their actions

Objectives

  • The subject corresponds to the last year of the Degree in Medicine (6th year), once the student already knows the scientific foundations of medicine and the different medical and surgical pathologies.
  • The general objective is for the student to consolidate the previous knowledge and reach the clinical, communication and search skills and management of relevant scientific information to be able to recognize the basic health problems of family medicine and make reasoned proposals for the solution of the problems. themselves, using the appropriate clinical and biomedical information sources, scientifically interpreting the results obtained.
  • Communicate with other health professionals, with patients and their families, clearly and effectively
  • Update knowledge autonomously.

Therefore, in the context of the first level of care (family medicine) you should know:

  1. Prepare a clinical history in a structured way
  2. Perform a complete physical examination Make a reasoned differential diagnosis Formulate a diagnostic hypothesis
  3. Justify the laboratory, imaging or other diagnostic tests that must be requested Correctly interpret the results obtained with them
  4. Propose an appropriate treatment Inform the patient and family
  5. Write an explanatory report to communicate with other levels of care
  6. Use ICTs to access clinical and biomedical databases, obtain relevant information and communicate

Learning outcomes

  2. Involve patients in decisions on the health-illness process.
  3. Identify the role of primary care in the healthcare system.
  4. Identify the structure, organisation and resources of primary healthcare and the different components of primary healthcare teams.
  5. Apply the theoretical knowledge of the pathology acquired during the bachelor's degree to clinical practice.
  6. Identify the presentation forms of the different pathological processes.
  7. Observe the therapeutic approach, the clinical course and its prevention in cases where this is possible.
  8. Take an active part in care tasks: preparing patient records, requesting complementary studies (laboratory, imaging techniques) when needed and helping to focus the patient record.
  9. Prepare a complete patient record systematically.
  10. Perform an anamnesis and a complete physical examination by systems on adults and children.
  11. Identify the basic rules of pharmacotherapy in adults and children.
  12. Identify the basic elements of the face-to-face doctor–patient interview in a context of high accessibility and longitudinal care.
  13. Describe the communication process and its effect on the professional caregiver–patient relationship.
  14. Explain the elements to be considered when assessing patients' role in decision-making on their health and on the medical attention they receive at their primary healthcare centres.
  15. Identify the different components of non-verbal communication in a context of patient-health professional relationship.
  16. Detect emotions through non-verbal communication in a context of patient-health professional relationship.
  17. Identify basic emotions in primary healthcare patients through the interaction between the different non-verbal components.

  25. Consult patient records appropriately and keep them in order.
  26. Analyse patient records systematically.
  27. Maintain and sharpen one's professional competence, in particular by independently learning new material and techniques and by focusing on quality.

• The student will be considered suitable if he reaches a sum of scores equal to or greater than 11/16


DEFINITIONS OF THE DIFFERENT DIMENSIONS
• Attendance and punctuality: it will be valued that the students have regularly attended all the days of the rotation and that in case of absence they have notified.
• Attitude: it will be valued that the student is willing to learn, that he knows and reviews the clinical cases, that he asks himself questions and is positive in learning.
• Participation and integration: The responsibility of the students in the tasks requested by the tutor, the ability to work in a team and the opinions they contribute in a session or in other assistance activities will be valued.
• Initiative: It will be valued if the student is curious to learn, read the protocols of the service, the diagnosis and treatment guides.
• Communication: It will be valued if the student is able to synthesize and communicate a clinical case to teammates in a clinical session of the service.

PRESENTATION OF THE CLINICAL CASE: Presentation of the clinical case followed during the rotation will be evaluated, both the written report/summary and the oral presentation.

ACOs 40%:
• Practical part 20%
• Theoretical Part 20%

 

If any student participates in an Erasmus exchange program, they may be authorized to validate this subject if it is done in a Primary Health Center or equivalent. It will not be validatde rotations in emergency wards or other hospital services.

 

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.

• The student will be considered Apt if he achieves a total score equal to or greater than 11/16


DEFINITIONS OF THE DIFFERENT DIMENSIONS

• Attendance and punctuality: it will be assessed that the students have attended regularly on all the days of the rotation and that they have given notice in case of absence.

• Attitude: it will be valued that the student is willing to learn, that he knows and reviews the clinical cases, that he asks questions and shows a positive attitude towards learning.

• Participation and integration: The responsibility of the students in the tasks that the tutor asks of them, the ability to work in a team and the opinions they contribute in a session or in other assistance activities will be assessed.

• Initiative: It will be assessed if the student is curious to learn, read the protocols of the service, the diagnostic and treatment guides.

• Communication: It will be assessed if the student is able to synthesize and communicate a clinical case to team mates in a clinical session of the service


PRESENTATION OF THE CLINICAL CASE: The presentation of the clinical case followed during the rotation will be evaluated, both the written report/summary and the oral presentation. The following will be evaluated: Structuring of the clinical history, List of problems, Differential diagnosis, Discussion, Complexity of the case, Presentation format and oral expression, Overall score.


PERFORMANCE OF MINI-ACOE: The student will be presented with a clinical situation through a simulated patient, which he will have to address and resolve. The following will be evaluated: Anamnesis, Physical examination, Professionalism, Clinical judgment and Communication skills.


ACOEs: 40%


This subject does not provide the single assessment system.


It will be considered NOT ASSESSABLE if the student has not attended 75% of the practical hours (51 hours) without justification or if the evaluation tests (clinical case presentation and ACOE) are not carried out. In exceptional and fully justified cases, and with prior agreement with the person responsible for the subject at the faculty or Teaching Unit level, the evaluation may be replaced by the written presentation of a clinical case or some other equivalent activity.


For this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is allowed exclusively in support tasks, such as bibliographic or information searches, text correction or translations, etc. The student must clearly identify which parts have been generated with this technology, specify the tools used and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final result of the activity. The lack of transparency in the use of AI in this assessable activity will be considered a lack of academic honesty and may lead to a partial or total penalty in the grade of the activity, or greater sanctions in serious cases.
