Learning Outcomes

A. This course aims to consolidate and deepen some concepts and fundamental principles of classic physics: Reinforce these skills through application to real world and encourage the link between topics.
B. Develop the ability to reflect, analyze and apply knowledge to any problem, in a simple and logical way, applying in its resolution a few basic principles well understood. I will be given great emphasis on the ability to manipulate concepts and solve problems.
C. This course should enable the student to rRecognize and use basic concepts and principles of physics applied to medical instrumentation (diagnosis, therapy and rehabilitation systems) using appropriate techniques and methodologies.
Identify the importance of physics in the interpretation and explanation of phenomena in the field of medicine, in particular, and science and instrumentation in general.
D. This course should enable the student to prepare, process, interpret and communicate physical information, using appropriate bibliographical sources, appropriate speaking and appropriate tools.
