Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
- Describe, organise, analyse and prioritise the phenomena observed in the medical field
- Understand the expression of biological realities in absolute or relative terms, the orders of magnitude, proportions and probability
- Understand and apply mathematical translations of large models and biological phenomena through abstract reasoning
- Understand and use different graphical representations of numerical values and their relationships
- Understand the chronology of a phenomenon and master the time scales and their representations
- Demonstrate interpersonal skills developed within a medical context
- Understand the basic rules of French and of English (grammar, punctuation, connectors, etc.).
- Use a rich vocabulary accurately linking concepts and words, and understand the prefixes and suffixes used in the medical field
- Develop reasoning skills

Learning Outcomes of UE
At the end of this course, the student will understand the mechanisms underlying the electrical activity of the neurons as well as those of the structures (called synapses) through which neural cells communicate with each other. He (she) will be able to understand how many pharmacological drugs act on the brain.
