The school policy of Pharmacy do not suggest propedeutic exams for this teaching.

The student has to  demonstrate that he has achieved a knowledge and understanding of Anatomy that allows him / her to set up the discussion of theoretical issues in a logical and complete way.

The student has  to demonstrate that they are able to set up the treatment of application problems in the f Anatomy's field.

The studen has to demostrate to be  able to independently different opinions on problematic aspects of the Anatomy

The student has to demonstrate to  achieve a good learning ability, not only in the form of memorizing the information studied, but also in the form of organizing his own thoughts around the different topics of the course.
