Learning outcomes

To become aware of the importance of the interdisciplinary aspect of basic sciences in the approach to a pathology. To develop scientific curiosity, combining critical thinking, analysis and synthesis skills, in the exercise of a nuanced presentation of a scientific article and a synthesis on the pathology dealt with in this course.

Content

The course will address an important pathology in our society today. This approach will start under the gaze of biochemistry, physiology, anatomopathology, pharmacology, psychology and the clinic. The approach will continue with the critical and nuanced presentation of an experimental article by each student or each pair of students (Journal-Club).

Assessment method

The final score will be awarded as follows: 50% Journal club (10 min presentation, 10 minutes Q&A) 50% written exam based on open questions, based on the memorization of the contents discussed by the co-tutors and the guest expert during the course. If the student obtains a mark of less than 10/20 for the Journal Club or for the June written exam, he/she will have to resubmit this part specifically in the second session. In the event of unjustified absence from presentations by teachers, clinicians and students, the student's work will not be validated in either the first or second session. These assessment procedures may be adapted as the health situation evolves.
