Students are obligated to know Code of Honor and the Rules and Regulations of the
Department of Didactics and Medical Simulation before started the course. Students are
obligated to confirm with signature that they have read and understand both documents.
I. INTRODUCTION
Behavioral Sciences course (BS) is conducted for one semester and comprises 50 academic hours.
The BS course covers topics concerning the basics of mind and the mind-body relationship along
with their practical correlations. Topics bring together perspectives of anthropology, psychology
and sociology. There are also four topics covering neuroscience issues.
Students entering Medical Schools are expected to develop a mature approach to education and
also to assume responsibility for their own learning. Studying means not only attending scheduled
classes but most of all it means seeking for information and reading from textbooks prior to
attending lectures and lab sessions. Students who want do successfully finish their medical
education should be prepared to work hard and learn how to efficiently manage their time

Test sessions. During every lab session students are required to take a short quiz consisting of five
multiple choice test questions. At the end of the course students take the Final Exam. Students are
expected to seek for information and read from textbooks prior to attending lab sessions.
III. COURSE COMPONENTS.
LAB SESSIONS
Topics according to the schedule and syllabus will be discussed and practiced during lab sessions.
Each lab session consists on short presentation of the current topic prepared by the lecturer,
