Clinical Placement in Clinical Physiology I

Ethical-deontological and technical-scientific knowledge taught at the UC Initiation to Clinical Physiology (1st Semester).

Hygiene, safety and behavior rules in the hospital environment.

The teaching methodology in this internship is done through the participatory and observational method in the places where the internship monitors usually work.

Students will be organized into groups of 2 students.

During the internship, the groups will be distributed by the internship valences and according to the availability defined by the collaborating entities and by the respective internship monitors, and only one group will be placed in each valence.

The duration of this internship will normally be one morning per valet.

The groups will be distributed by the internship valences in a rotation principle according to a previously approved schedule.

The internship plan is prepared by the Internship Coordinator in articulation with the collaborators of the curricular unit.

Students are under the responsibility and guardianship of the internship monitor, the latter being responsible for their learning, integration and well-being.

If it is not possible, the observational internships of some valences will be presented to the internship locations via Zoom, by the monitors who normally receive them in hospitals, as well as by the Professors responsible for the UC. Films of some techniques developed by professionals in these areas may also be shown.

The student must acquire knowledge of:

– Ethical-professional behavior in a hospital environment.

– Areas of expertise of the Licensed in Clinical Physiology.

– How to behave and act in the presence of a health user.

The student must acquire skills and competences of:

– Ethical-professional attitude towards users and other health professionals.

– Acquire knowledge of the ability to evaluate and make decisions, critical sense, professional responsibility and social sensitivity, necessary for professional practice.

– Acquire knowledge of the organization, operation and planning of services, teamwork and work environment.

It is intended that, at the end of the internship, the student obtains knowledge in the various areas of the internship that will allow him to act with responsibility and technical-scientific autonomy in the health team in which he will be inserted and that will allow him a greater perception in the acquisition of knowledge in the next years of the course.
