Teaching methods
Lectures, work in small groups
Assessment methods
The verification of learning takes place through a written test lasting 1 hour, which includes 5 open questions, including two clinical cases.
All questions are inherent to topics covered in class and therefore aim to verify the acquisition of knowledge required by the course program and also the acquisition of a critical judgment.
