Course contents :
|
| APPs devoted to human disorders (cardiovascular, digestive, respiratory, ... disorders) are organized during semester 8 as up (4) and down (4) sessions during which the students, divided in groups of 8 to 9 persons for the up sessions, examine the text of a problem. The latter describes a clinical situation in which appears the prescription of specific drugs (integration of physiopathological and therapeutic aspects). From this context, the student has to search by himself or with his group the information relative to the text, has to establish a physiopathological and therapeutic scheme and has to answer the objectives of the different branches of learning participating to the APPs. The down sessions are organized in the presence of all the students and several teachers and tutors, among which persons from the professional workspace. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| By definition, APP consists in the analysis of a problem by small groups of students (at the up session) under the supervision (at the down session) of several guides (teachers, assistants, professionals). It can be defined as a self-learning process by which the student has to gain a greater autonomy for analysing problems that he will encounter during his professional carrier. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Due to the pluridisciplinarity of this teaching, the important subjects received during the previous years and during the first semester of the fourth year constitute the prerequisites (physiopathology, biochemistry, genetics, medicinal chemistry, pharmacognosy, pharmacology, toxicology, biological chemistry, pharmaceutical technology, ...). |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| None |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| APPs are organized in semester 8 from early February until the end of April during the wednesday afternoons:
- one introduction session to the APPs
- four APPs up sessions
- four preparative sessions
- four APPs down sessions
- one summarizing session |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| The students receive a "notebook for student" at each new APP session. The notebook comprises several parts (summary of the problem, semantic, list of phenomenons that have to be explained, list of objectives, physiopathological and therapeutic scheme) and must be completed by the student for the down session. |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| Written examination (first session in May - June).
Written examination (second session in Augustus - September). |
