Teaching Methodologies
The curricular unit will be taught in a theoretical-practical format, in an active expository form, complemented with the discussion of clinical cases. The evaluation of the curricular unit takes the form of a written test, within the framework of the Institutional Regulation.

Advanced knowledge:
• different research methodologies applied to health sciences, including the organization, analysis and interpretation of data.
• importance of clinical audit and evidence-based practice, with the ethical principles associated with it.
Advanced skills:
• carry out bibliographic research and critical analysis of the literature using the appropriate methodologies and making the appropriate decisions for each case study.
• critically evaluate scientific publications and develop a logical reasoning about the projects to be developed.
Advanced skills:
