Programa de apoyo al estudiantado de Medicina

Abstract

The Support Program for Medical Students of the Faculty of Medicine, University of the Vic-Universitat Central de Catalunya (UVic-UCC) offers students support throughout the entire Degree. This program aims to identify and address the student's needs which include any condition that impacts their academic development. As soon as these support needs are identified, they are assessed with a multidimensional approach -academic, psycho-emotional and personal situation- in order to determine an individualized action plan. The services offered by the Support Program for Medical Students include 3 approaches: 1) Optimization of the academic performance: group and individual orientation tutorials (study strategies and exam techniques); 2) Individualized psychological care, whether related to psychological or learning difficulties, or functional diversity; 3) Mentoring: monitoring and guidance in the curricular itinerary and in their personal and professional development. Th program provides information that allows for a much deeper understanding of the reality of the students and makes it possible to implement teaching changes that have an impact on improving learning and, also, mental health of the students.
