Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
Theoretical classes, both synchronous and asynchronous, cover radiological diagnosis through audiovisual presentations and active learning methodologies, such as gamification and case studies. Asynchronous classes challenge students with clinical cases for individual or group resolution, followed by tutorial discussions, fostering critical and creative thinking. Face-to-face theoretical-practical classes review and reinforce content, preparing students for hands-on practical sessions. Practical face-to-face classes provide direct contact with real clinical cases and simulators, helping students develop essential skills for the specialty.
