Introduction of some relevant literary works to the medicine in order to contribute to an integral education and of broadening the perspective of the students.
Medicine of the natural environment is a discipline that responds to the need to provide health services to people far from urban health resources and in often hostile natural environments (in extreme nature or environmental conditions that are out of control, in areas with no or insufficient resources, or in areas where there is a substantial delay in the transport or arrival of definitive medical attention).Environmental factors affect the patient’s physiology and the course of illnesses.In extreme situations resources are limited and in difficult environments the ideal treatment dictated by medical guidelines may not be the most suitable in the specific situation and sometimes emphasis on improvisation is required.In these situations a delay is produced in access to definitive medical attention due to distance, logistics or hazards.Medical professionals dedicated to this discipline must perform beyond their role as a traditional doctor and use the skills typically assigned to other healthcare professionals.These skills include, among others, triage, preparation of a
Ultrasound is a very useful diagnostic technique, easy to conduct, accessible and economic.In many pathologies, initial diagnostic orientation can benefit from the use of ultrasound.Interpreting ultrasound images does, however, require in-depth knowledge of the anatomy through ultrasound and individual training.
Osteological techniques for the identification of human remains are especially useful in cases of skeletal remains or corpses eaten by scavengers, in aeroplane accidents and war crimes.The aim of this optional module is to provide students with basic theoretical and practical knowledge of the methods of identifying human remains.
Chronic stress can cause health problems but physical exercise and relaxation can be used to combat it. This optional subject aims to help students understand the physiological mechanisms associated to these non-pharmacological strategies, focusing on those which help increase emotional and physical well-being.
The aim of the subject is to teach future doctors the foundations of plastic surgery and its possibilities in curing sick people and the great importance that plastic surgery has in modern surgery and in other specialisms.Be able to perform some of the more basic surgical techniques: Topical treatments.Remove stitches. Bandaging.Washing yourself correctly.Suturing
This optional module is based on an increasing understanding of how physical activity affects physiological function.The body responds to physical activity and thus has important positive effects on musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory and endocrine system, among others.
There is increasing awareness among healthcare personnel of the need to incorporate humanities into the field of medicine in order to establish a practice that takes into account all aspects of each patient.In this optional subject students will examine and acquire tools from humanistic disciplines in order to use them in their clinical practice.
In current medical practical, every doctor must be familiar with the new radiology and nuclear medicine techniques.This option one can offer students the best chance to evaluate three areas of improvement of medical imaging: interventionist radiology, medical digital imaging and biomarkers of images in modern medicine.
