Students are introduced to concepts of medical instrumentation identification, analysis, and design. They also review the different elements that make up diagnostic, monitoring, and therapeutic equipment.

This course provides students with a descríption of the theoretical foundations of the image generating devices used in medicine, including microscopy, x rays, computerized axial tomography and magnetic resonance; analysis and design of the equipment that produces these images as well as the study of the properties of generated images.

This course will introduce students to new fields and develpments in the different areas of Biomedical Engineering.

The aim of this course is for students to learn and understand the functions of a Clinical Engineering Program in a hospital.

At the conclusion of this course, students will be able to participate effectively in the diagnosis and treatment of the most common pediatric conditions in order to promptly refer patients to a specialist in situations beyond their professional scope, protecting the health of human beings in this age group. This will be achieved through bibliographic research , discussions on problematized clinical cases, sharing experiences in groups, collaborative work, outpatient consultation practice, and in-hospital duty shifts.

At the conclusion of the course, students will develop and implement important changes in the habits and customs of the people in their physical, psychological, and social milieu, as well as in the manner in which comprehensive medical servicesare provided and received, respecting their culture and taking into consideration the available resources in order to solve major health problems that affect the community, proving to be a individuals who are responsible for their society and committed to their profession and the health of human beings.

At the conclusion of the course, students will be able to diagnose and treat the most common medical and medical-surgical emergencies, i.e. unexpected clinical situations that endanger a patient's life, physiological systems, or physical integrity. The above is for the purpose of working in the clinical field of medicine, ensuring the health and quality of life of people. This will be achieved through practice with patients when on duty in the hospital wards.

At the conclusion of the course, students will be able to apply the methods and techniques of public health that relate to epidemiology, statistics and health systems in order to act for health through the interaction between man and his environment, both the individual and community levels. Additionally, they will be able to understand the fundamental principles of public health based on their capacity to plan, organize, and manage collective efforts with the aim of establishing an organized response aiming for the protection, promotion and restoration of the population's health.

At the conclusion of the course, students will be able to structure and implement an efficient history-taking and clinical examination procedure in order to create effective diagnostic hypotheses to real and complex clinical problems in clinical practice.

At the conclusion of this course, students will be able to explain the multifactorial origin of the health-disease process, based on the model of Natural History of Disease and prevention levels, and the epidemiological model of the health field, applied to the morbidity and mortality of major causes of illness and damage to health. They will also be able to analyze the efficiency and effectiveness of key health programs under the risk approach, applied to different levels of individual , family and community prevention.
