Lectures and interactive lessons will be conducted with the aid of presentations created using
Microsoft Office PowerPoint, as well as videos. Teaching materials will be available for students to download from a dedicated cloud platform with password-protected access for the entire duration of the academic year. The essential open source bibliography and any additional reading requested by students will also be available for consultation on the cloud. The teaching materials provided will form the basis of the examination. In the event of legal restrictions, lessons may be conducted remotely using interactive telematic methods, using the free platforms Microsoft Teams or Zoom Cloud Meeting.

Students must attend at least 70% of lessons in order to be eligible to take the examination.

Students will be required to take oral examinations relating to the three subjects covered by the intgrated course.

The examination is based on image recognition (X-ray, MRI, CT scan), followed by a discussion of the pathology to which the image refers.
