Introduction

The knowledge of the immune system and its alterations are basic elements in the formation of the future graduate in medicine.

The dysfunctions of this system will affect a large part of systems and organs of the human body

 


You cannot understand certain diseases, without an integral vision of this system, fleeing many times to focus only on certain specificities

 

It is a proven fact that allergic diseases - we remember that allergy is an affectation of the immune system by excess - occupy a leading place in the prevalence of disease

Pre-course requirements

Por ello, es importante conocer la inmunología básica, los sistemas celular y humoral que la integran y sus alteraciones, en forma de inmunodeficiencias, autoinmunidad y/o hipersensibilidad en sus diferentes presentaciones.

Teaching and learning activities

In person



The master class is the setting in which a teacher transmits the knowledge in a classroom to the entire group of students. The format, however, allows the introduction of activities in small groups within the classroom and the deployment of strategies that encourage the active participation of students.

This course, due to the problematic COVID, will be given exclusively online, with the Collborate platform

The case method consists of the process of solving clinical or profession-specific cases. They are group activities that are resolved with the active participation of the teacher detached from the deliberation of the students.

Problem-based learning has similarities to the case method but differs in that students are held responsible for finding the solution to the problem. The teacher acts as a tutor who facilitates the learning process based on their trained metacognitive skills. It is also done in groups.

The skills laboratory is an area in which the student can basically develop communication and physical exploration skills based on mannequins, robots and also simulator patients and real patients. They are done in groups.

 

 

Lecture (CM) are face to face.

Case method (MC), problem-based learning and Laboratory Practice are face to face.

Evaluation systems and criteria

In person



 

Written evaluation (80%) : Final exam

 Multiple-choice test : 50 questions, 4 possible answers, one of which is valid. One point for each correct question; for each question with an incorrect answer, 1/3 of the value of the answer will be deducted.

 

Continuous evaluation (20%)

 Assess the activities performed in the skills lab as well as attendance, active participation in case and PBA methods , and/or the defense of a Clinical Report, and/or the presentation of a small specific work.

 

 

Written exam:

 

EXAM REVIEW SYSTEM.

 The review of the exams will be done individually with the student upon written request within the established deadlines.
