The teaching methodologies used are intended to provide an effective knowledge transmission, and a climate of dialogue with students that encourages and consolidates the process of teaching and learning. In class explains the basics needed for the development of the syllabus and the acquisition of skills. We seek to student participation in adapting the concepts learned to solve specific situations. Study designs are presented and discussed in the classroom with the active and critical participation of teachers and students.
