The learning methodology will be active and eminently practical, focused on the student. A short part of the course will be devoted to theoretical concepts through an update of the main and advanced concepts, and a time specifically intended for discussion among students and teachers. Then, students will practice the main current techniques in an animal model with the continued support of the teachers.
