It is necessary passing the theory part by means of an examination consisting of short questions in order to be able to obtain a final grade. It counts as 30% of the final grade. Throughout the academic year, it will be carried out a continuous assessment of the clinical practices (70% of the grade). It will be more valued the quality than the quantity of works that have been made, putting special emphasis on the planning of the cases and the integration of diagnosis, decision-takings and treatment.
