Learning unit contents

Psychiatry is a medical speciality that focuses on the biopsychosocial study of the aetiology, assessment, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental disorders, which occur alone or combined with other disorders of medical or surgical origin.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

In a continuum that is coherent in all the stages of the training, this course applies the CanMEDS reference framework.
At the end of the course, students will be able to:
- Detect the signs and symptoms of common mental disorders
- Communicate respectfully with patients, without stigmatising them
- Apply a model of the medical interview that integrates communication with the clinical approach
- For each disorder: 1) be familiar with the epidemiological data; 2) apply the steps of the diagnosis by incorporating the decision-making algorithms, semiology and differential diagnosis; 3) argue the therapeutic possibilities by integrating the etiopathogenic mechanisms
- Communicate with the patient respectfully without showing stigma
- Use additional data in a relevant way
- Develop a reflexive analysis

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

None.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

This course is mainly taught through lectures, presented in modular form and accompanied by discussions, educational video clips and a link with society. With the aim of favouring the active appropriation of knowledge, an online course is associated with the lectures and is available on eCampus. The subject is intentionally fragmented into short segments to favour its integration.

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

Online classes are available on eCampus.
Here, you will find all the documents presented in the face-to-face classes integrated into a learning roadmap (slide shows, educational video clips, psychiatry medical observation guide, etc.) and a toolbox including all the recommended reading.

Assessment methods and criteria

Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.

The examination is constituted by a reflexive team work. The details will be specified on eCampus.
