General Medical-Surgical Pathology 1 of the first cycle of Degree in Dentistry is part of the core subjects of the programme and aims to explain all medical and surgical pathologies that dentists must know and study during university studies.
It is a mistake to consider Dentistry as a degree based solely on the study of the oral cavity; as in many cases the dentist will require broader medical knowledge in order to provide a global and integrated perspective of patients and their associated pathologies.
There are no pre-requisites
THEORETICAL
· Acquisition of the concepts of health, disease, ill, fall ill/get a disease.
· 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 in situations related to the dentist and their daily practice.
PRACTICAL
· Development of a clinical history. History and physical examination.
· Knowledge and use of basic equipment for the taking of vital signs. Sphygmomanometer and stethoscope.
Acquisition of scientific basis of dentistry, professional values, ethical behaviour and appropriate clinical skills.
Acquisition of knowledge of the overall medical-surgical pathology, which should form the basis for achieving and subsequently being able to apply appropriate capabilities to diagnose, predict and plan for dental treatments
These competencies will be achieved through a series of methodologies based on: lectures, clinical session seminars and lab practices
Having acquired the competences referred to throughout the course while making the most of the skills taught during traditional lectures, seminars and laboratory practices.
