The aim of this teaching innovation project is to avoid that students limit to take notes during the classes; his responsible, Professor César Chung Serrano, of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, says that “Medicine teaching must tend toward students´ qualifization to solve problems as Primary Health Care doctors. Such teaching must include the acquisition of knowledge, skills and basic attitudes. Lecturers -Professor Chung Serrano continues- must change our traditional teaching methods and use new methodologies, which can provide the necessary means for the student, the real protagonist of teaching, to acquire the clinical qualification of a good general practitioner to solve the medical and obstetric problems that arise in the development of his professional life.”
Among the objectives of this project appear the carrying out of a web page with images and videos including the whole theoretical list of topics of the subject; the preparation of a cd on the list of topics of Obstetrics of the Degree in Medicine, with images and videos, accesible by the rest of lecturers of the speciality; clinical skill workshops, equipped with simulated models of fetus, obstetric pelvis, mass-produced models of pregnancy, births; as well as seminars of clinical cases, with which students will live situations similar to real ones. These sessions will be recorded and showed to the rest of the students later to discuss them. The results will be included in a cd. Finally, another objectie is to intiate the student as an educator of healthy patients. To this end they are going to prepare a cd about advices and medical care during the puerperium and lactation.
The project includes complementary measures to reach the objectives such as master classes, seminars on clinical cases, practical rotation of consultations and consulting rooms, shifts in the delivery room, classes on clinical case problems, talks on health education or personalized tutorials and through e-mail.
