Course Prerequisites
The Neurology course requires the student to have basic and introductory notions of neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and neuropharmacology, that they are preparatory to the topics covered in the teaching course.
Teaching Methods
The course is organized in frontal lectures, carried out through PowerPoint presentations, complemented by video sessions, which will help students to see practical examples of human diseases. This activity will also include integration with case studies and simulation approaches. In addition, the training activities will be integrated by in-depth seminars. Practical experience, consisting in internship activities are also foreseen in the Department of General Neurology and outpatient services.
Assessment Methods
Oral examination.
The final evaluation is based on the degree of depth and understanding of the topics
