In order to pass the subject, it is essential to pass both the theoretical exam and the clinical practices and seminars. The final qualification of the subject will be determined by the theoretical exam note (70%), clinical practice note (20%) and seminar note (10%).
THEORIC EXAM:
The theoretical exam will consist of 30 short questions and / or multiple answers. The approved will be 6/10.
Students with a particular problem may request an oral examination that will be conducted by a court of three teachers of the Area.
CLINICAL PRACTICES:
The absence to more than 1 practice will have a zero rating (O) in the following practices that will average with the total computation.
The student who accumulates more than 2 unjustified faults, at the discretion of the faculty, does not have the right to be evaluated from the practical part and therefore suspends the subject.
The internships last for 2 obligatory hours.
Each practice has a score (continuous evaluation by the teacher), the acquisition of knowledge and skills, attendance and attitude will be evaluated. The practice is approved with 60% (an average grade will be taken of the continuous evaluation of each practice).
The student must come to the practice with the appropriate uniform and protective equipment: white coat, long pants, closed shoe, gathered hair, protective glasses and cap.

The student who accumulates more than 2 unjustified faults, at the discretion of the faculty, does not have the right to be evaluated on the part of seminars and therefore suspends the subject.
