Elective Courses Chosen By The Student

These activities offer students the opportunity to gain knowledge on some innovative subjects, choosing from a variety of options approved by the Didactic Board.
The activities may range from seminar type courses; internships carried out in research laboratories or clinical departments; participation in conferences and congresses. Each elective didactic activity is guided by a Faculty in-charge.
Professional Internship
During the clinical internship, the students are provided exposure to broad disciplines of medicine, including internal medicine, general surgery, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, as well as medical-surgical specialties.
The students carry out their internships at specific hospitals/medical centers, identified by the Didactic Coordination Council for the defined period. This activity is equivalent to 60 ECTS.
The clinical internship is carried out under the direct supervision of a faculty tutor.
