The activities of the course will include two distinct methodological approaches:

2. Interactive Clinical Cases – interactive clinical cases sessions will allow the application of the concepts addressed in the seminars in specific clinical situations based in real-life clinical experience. In these sessions, the participants will be organized in groups, will be supervised by faculty members and will present and discuss each clinical case.

The assessment of participants will be based in:

1. Presence in the working sessions.
2. Participation in the interactive clinical cases.
3. Final multiple-choice written examination.
