Description

This subject offers the possibility for the student to obtain basic knowledge about child development and the different conditions that we can treat as health professionals.  

It aims for students to acquire this knowledge to better understand the complexity of the healthcare relationship and to be able to use strategies and skills that allow them to carry out effective and humane interventions with children and their families. The fundamental objective of the subject is to help the student acquire the basic knowledge of childhood, so that he is able to recognize the functions and structures, level of activity and participation. As well as achieving a greater understanding of the variants in the development of the child in its entirety. 

The distribution of the theoretical and/or practical content of the subject can be consulted in the schedule and sections of the corresponding virtual classroom before it starts.   

This subject aims to introduce the gender perspective in its content and development. In addition, the objectives are aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations. 

The classroom (physical or virtual) is a safe space, free of sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic and discriminatory attitudes, either towards students or towards teachers. We trust that together we can create a safe space where we can make mistakes and learn without having to suffer prejudice from others.

In accordance with current UPF regulations, all students who, having participated in the learning and assessment activities during the term, have obtained a failing grade for the corresponding subject in the quarterly assessment may participate in the recovery process . Those who have not participated in the learning and assessment activities or who have waived the assessment will not be able to participate. If the grade is "not submitted", you will not be able to opt for recovery and therefore the subject will have to be taken again in its entirety in the following academic year.
