- Communication and exploration practices: you will carry out interviews with simulated patients (actors) as well as with simulators to practice physical explorations, approaching clinical situations in critical patients, etc.
- Team work: you will practice in conjunction with the School of Nursing where you will see clinical cases to solve as a team, as in real life.

IN HOSPITALS AND OTHER HEALTH CARE CENTERS:
- Early Clinical Immersion: pedagogical research has demonstrated the multiple benefits of early contact with the clinic in the professional and personal profile of medical students. For this reason, during the first two years you will have early and repeated exposure to internships supervised by tutors specially trained in teaching and evaluation skills.
- Different clinical scenarios: you will practice in hospitals, health centers, socio-health centers, emergencies, etc., both public and private, so that you get to know all the realities of the health system and the centers get to know you.
- Personal tablet: during the clinical phase you will have a tablet as a practice notebook for the preparation, supervision and evaluation in real time of the practical tasks that are considered essential for each course.
- Rotations: you will perform rotations in different areas of professional medical activity: cardiology, surgery, pediatrics, oncology, urology...
- Simulation environments: to guarantee the success of our training model, we include, as a complement to the practice in a real clinical environment, practice in simulation environments.
- Agreements: at the UFV we have agreements with 8 public and private university hospitals, 16 primary care health centers, several monographic hospital centers (psychiatric, oncology, trauma, palliative and geriatric care...) and a growing group of international agreements with world reference centers. This network guarantees a flexible and unique model that will allow you to use the best facilities of each health center for your clinical training.
