The General Medical-Surgical Pathology 1 of the first cycle of Dentistry Degree is part of the core and aims to explain all the medical and surgical pathologies that the dentist must know and study at their university.

Do not think that dentistry is a study of grade based solely on the oral cavity but in many cases the dentist will be accurate broader medical knowledge, providing a global perspective and integrated patient and pathologies associated.

There are no pre-requisites

THEORETICAL

· Acquisition of the concepts of health, illness, sick, make ill.
· Concepts of Etiology, Pathogenesis, Pathophysiology and Clinical Semiology.
· Study of Medical Pathology by organ systems and their oral impact.
· Study of surgical pathology and its oral impact.
· Study and initial treatment of medical-surgical urgencies them in situations close to the dentist and their daily practice.

PRACTICAL

· Development of a clinical history. History and physical examination.
· Knowledge and use of basic equipment taking vital signs. Sphygmomanometer and stethoscope.

Acquire the scientific basis of dentistry, professional values and ethical behaviors, and appropriate clinical skills.

Acquire knowledge of the overall medical-surgical pathology, which should form the basis for achieving and subsequently able to apply knowledge to diagnose, predict and plan for dental treatments

These competencies will be achieved through a series of methodologies based on: lectures, seminars and clinical sessions labs

-Training and development of a medical history.
-Taking vital signs: blood pressure. Heart rate and breathing.
Physical Exploration. -Cardiac and respiratory auscultation.
Orofacial and cervical Exploration.

General Medical and Surgical Pathology 1 is a semester course with a total of 6 ECTS, 60 hours of lectures and 6 practical for each of the 2 groups is shared course students. Be explained lectures that make up the program for each semester. The duration of the master classes will be 2 hours, leaving the last 20 minutes for questions and answer questions on the class taught as a seminar.

The frequency of classes is two days per week.

The practical classes constitute the second part of the course and within this will differentiate two types of activities:

-Laboratory practices  or seminars
-Semestral works

The student evaluation will be as follows:

Theoretical final exam ..................... 80%
Practices ...................................... 15%
Work ........................................ 5%

The theoretical final exam questions and answers will be multiple (5) with a single answer correct count 1 point. A wrong question subtracted 0.20 points.

The subject is evaluated and graded according to an absolute score of 10 points, obtained according to the following scale:
