At theend of thecourse, thestudentshould be able to: 

Knowledge 

• Recognize semiology and the importance of medical history and anamnesis, applying ethical principles and respect for the patient, to identify relevant signs and symptoms in the diagnostic process. 

• Describe the pathophysiological mechanisms that explain the functiona lalterations of the different organs and systems, taking into account biological variability and lifestages to understand the presentation of diseases. 

• Relate biological, social, and environmental factors with the mechanisms of disease and principles of social justice, adopting an integrative approach to patient care. 

• Identify therapeutic and preventive resources based on scientific evidence, assessing the need to coordinate with other health professionals for an optimal approach to each clinical case. 

Skills 

• Apply anamnesis and physical examination techniques to obtain relevant information about the patient's clinical status, demonstrating active listening and empathy in the doctor-patient relationship. 

• Interpret groupings of signs and symptoms to guide differential diagnosis, using clinical and pathophysiological criteria based on scientific evidence. 

• Demonstrate skill in performing basic clinical procedures such as thoracocentesis, lumbar puncture, or assessment of vital signs, adapting them to different clinical situations. 

• Integrate data from the clinical interview, physical examination, and complementary tests to develop a reasoned diagnostic reasoning, considering the patient's biopsychosocial factors. 

Competency 

• Apply knowledge of pathophysiology ands emiotics to interpret signs and symptoms, guiding clinical diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and developing clinical reasoning based on scientific, ethical, and contextual criteria. 

• Communicate with empathy and respect with the patient and their environment, adapting language to each clinical situation and demonstrating active listening and emotional support to collect relevant information in anamnesis and physical examination to prepare an accurate and high-quality medical history. 

• Communicate empathetically and respectfully with the patient and their environment, adapting language to each clinical situation and showing active listening and emotional support during anamnesis and physical examination to write a quality medical history. 

• Investigate clinical cases using biomedical information sources and scientific reasoning strategies to formulate diagnostic hypotheses and justify the request for complementary tests.
