In a career in medicine there is traditionally a preclinical stage at another clinic, in which there is contact with the sick. Before starting the full clinical stage it is necessary to spend enough time studying some subjects wich sometimes seem to have little to do with the purpose of work as a doctor.
The subject "Into the world of medicine" is designed so that the medical student has from the outset, a clear vision of the core to which every training effort is directed: patient care and promoting health. Therefore, the course is divided into two modules:
Module. Immediate health care in emergency
This module is intended for students to begin to develop skills in the recognition and management of critical situations that require immediate response and assistance which may occur in any situation in daily life.
Module. Weekend Clinics and approach to health care
The student, though he could be familiar with the health system as a patient or relative of a patient, does not have the perspective of all health care structure. However, students from other communities are neglected in the Catalan health system. Thus, this module will provide a first contact with the different areas of care.
