- Structure and function of the reproductive system.
Objectives
- The subject of urology has the objective of gradually acquiring the student theoretical and practical knowledge sufficient to ensure a proper understanding of diseases of the urinary system, in terms of prevention, diagnosis and medical or surgical treatment.
- Mastering the urologic medical and surgical terminology.
- Get the right skills to further the art of questioning with the objective of developing an urological medical history with the most relevant information.
- Teaching appropriate technical skills to look for signs and symptoms in urological pathology.
- Perform a directed physical examination to get a correct diagnosis of urological pathology.
- Acquire sufficient capacity to recognize a particular urological disease through their various imaging techniques.
- Facilitate the acquisition of attitudes that lead to analysis and solution of different clinical problems.
- To acquire the fundamental knowledge in urology as well as the different techniques to solve the most frecuent clinical urological problems.

Teaching and learning activities
In person
- The lecture is the scenario in which a teacher transmits knowledge in a classroom to the entire group of students. The format, however, allows the introduction of small group activities within the classroom and the deployment of strategies that encourageactive student participation.
- The case method is the process of solving clinical cases or specific to theprofession. There are group activities that are solved with the active participation of the teacher after the deliberation of the students.
- Problem-based learning has similarities with the case method, but differs in thatstudents are responsible to find the solution. The teacher acts as mentor to facilitate the process of learning from their metacognitive skills. It is also done in groups.
- The skills lab is an area in which the student can develop basic communication skills and physical examination based on mannequins and robots simulator real diseases.They are held in small groups.
Evaluation systems and criteria
In person
Evaluation Criteria
We ask the student punctuality, attention and active participation in class. Attendance is not mandatory, but is highly recommended, especially when active learning methods are used. In clinical skills laboratories presence control can be implemented.
The assignature is approved at 5.00.
FIRST CALL
- Midterm Exam (20%): multiple-choice test (25 questions) of theoretical issues, radiologic images, microscopic or macroscopic resolution of clinical cases.
- The exam is all about the subject to date.
- Omission of a midterm test means loss of the percentage of the test.
- The questions have four possible answers.
- The multiple-choice test is scored as one point for each correct question, for every wrong question will be deducted 1 / 3 of the value of the response.
- Final Exam (60%): multiple-choice test ( 60 questions) of theoretical issues, radiologic images, microscopic or macroscopic and resolution of clinical case.
- The final exam is about all matter of course.
