Other information
- Basic anatomic and physiologic knowledge are required as the lessons are mainly directed towards pharmacists. Some knowledge about frquent pathologies are also useful.
- The assessment is based on a written examination that mixes open questions and answers and multiple choice questions. Each co-titular is taking part in the elaboration and correction of the questions.
- As the course is mainly dedicated to the presentation, description and the operation of prosthesis, implants and biomaterial, the attendance to the lessons for material visualisation is warmly recommanded.
