Introduction
The Biomedicine Integrated III subject is part of a block of three placed in the second semester of each of the first three years (Integrated Biomedicine I, II, III). These subjects are designed, as their name implies, to integrate the concepts that have been worked on in each corresponding course, solving a basic, clinical or technical problem by pooling the concepts that have been received so far. Each of these subjects has a methodology and specific teaching activities. The Integrated Biomedicine III approach focuses on autonomously mastering the practical aspects of the day-to-day laboratory, either in its prior preparation and organization or in situ.
Pre-course requirements
Basic and general knowledge of techniques of biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology, genetics and dynamics of laboratory work.
Objectives
1) Work autonomously with techniques in the field of biomedical research in small groups, assimilating the completion of a protocol in the research laboratory.
2) Create and maintain the laboratory notebook.
3) Present and critically analyze the results and technical problems in a "group seminar" format. Discuss the results obtained based on the previous literature.
4) Evaluate a scientific communication made by students from other courses.
Competences/Learning outcomes of the degree programme
• Integrate the basic concepts related to the field of biomedicine both theoretically and experimentally.
• That students know how to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional way and possess the competencies that are usually demonstrated through the elaboration and defense of arguments and the resolution of problems within their area of study.
• That students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (usually within their area of study) to make judgments that include reflection on relevant issues of a social, scientific or ethical nature.
• That students can transmit information, ideas, problems and solutions to both specialized and non-specialized audiences
• Develop the ability of analysis and synthesis
• Develop the ability to solve problems.
• Develop the capacity for organization and planning appropriate to the moment.
• Know how to communicate, make presentations and write scientific papers.
•To be able to teamwork.
• Be able to carry out autonomous learning.
Learning outcomes of the subject
The learning outcomes that will be required of the students will be linked to the selected competencies in each case. Among others, the student:
• Integrates the concepts learned during the course and is able to summarize and present the knowledge in different formats.
• Develops basic generic skills.
• Understands and chooses the appropriate methods to carry out genetic, molecular and cellular practicals in the biomedical laboratory.
• Integrates biomedical concepts to solve theoretical and practical questions and problems related to the health sciences.
• Understands and critically evaluates original and reviewed scientific articles in the field of biomedicine and is able to defend the results in front of a specialized audience.
Syllabus
- Preparation of laboratory techniques (protocols, solutions, reagents, biosecurity in the laboratory) and planning them throughout the session and in different weeks.
- Individual completion of the experiments, where the teacher will supervise the students, as an observer, intervening only when strictly necessary.
- Creation of the laboratory notebook based on the knowledge acquired.
- Presentation of results and discussion of technical problems.
Bibliography and resources
The bibliography will be specific for each practice and will be indicated in the corresponding session.
