Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the information in this section is particularly likely to change.

The courses are based on physiopathology and semeiology; present therapeutic approaches for the most urgent and deleterious pathologies and combine theory with clinical cases.
Evaluation methods

Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the information in this section is particularly likely to change.

June session: multiple choice questions (MCQ) or short open-ended questions (OEQ), based on the instructed theory or by means of resolving clinical cases.
September session: same modality as June session, or, if insufficient number of students, oral exam built on clinical cases relying on instructed theoretical bases.
The modalities of the exam might change in the light of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and the necessary undertaken measures.
