Fisiology I

Not applicable.

The theoretical classes aim at the detailed presentation of the syllabus, using a direct and dynamic methodology to promote the direct participation of the students. It is intended that students assimilate physiology in an integrated form and with a global vision applied to health.

The theoretical-practical classes aim to complement the theoretical classes, providing students with the opportunity to apply physiological concepts in practical and real situations. To this end, clinical cases relevant to the future professional practice of students, online simulation platforms and video content will be analysed. Worksheets will also be performed during the theoretical-practical classes, allowing students to receive immediate feedback on the acquisition of knowledge and identify areas that need to be reinforced or deepened in class.

THE ESSENTIAL GOALS ARE LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT OF KNOWLEDGE APPLICATION OF HUMAN
PHYSIOLOGY, ON A MODERN PERSPECTIVE AND PRACTICAL UTILITY FOR THE PROFESSIONAL FUTURE OF
STUDENTS COMPLETING THIS DEGREE.
THE CAPABILITIES THAT WE INTEND TO DEVELOP ARE ON A LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING AND
INTERPRETATION OF FUNCTIONS AND NORMAL OPERATION OF ORGANS AND SYSTEMS.
ON THIS MEASURE A PROGRAM OF THE DISCIPLINE WAS DESIGNED TO FILL THE BASIC KNOWLEDGE NEEDS
IN PHYSIOLOGY THAT DIFFER SAFE AND ADMITTEDLY, FROM THE CLASSIC
PROGRAMS OF THIS DISCIPLINE.
THE CLINICAL CONTEXT OF PHYSIOLOGICAL CONCEPTS WILL ALSO BE A CONSTANT AND PERMANENT
REALITY THROUGHOUT THE VARIOUS SUBJECTS OF THE COURSE, BECAUSE WE CONSIDER IT OF GREAT
RELEVANCE AND EFFECTIVE AND PRACTICAL INTEREST FOR STUDENTS.
