Base Knowledge
Compreensão e interpretação das funções e funcionamento normal dos órgãos e sistemas.
Teaching Methodologies
AS AULAS TEÓRICAS VISAM A APRESENTAÇÃO DETALHADA DOS CONTEÚDOS PROGRAMÁTICOS. NELAS SE UTILIZA UMA METODOLOGIA ACTIVA, APELATIVA DA INTERVENÇÃO DIRECTA DOS ALUNOS. PRETENDE-SE ASSIM QUE OS ALUNOS ASSIMILEM A FISIOLOGIA DE UMA FORMA INTEGRADA E COM UMA VISÃO DE CONJUNTO.
Learning Results
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.
