Learning Outcomes
The aim of this course is to understand the basic principles of cell biology, genetics and head embryology. After the end of the course, students will be able to easily understand the normal mechanism of development of the craniofacial complex as well as the possible craniofacial malformations and dental abnormalities that they will encounter in everyday clinical practice.
General Competences
- Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
- Work autonomously
- Work in teams
- Be critical and self-critical
- Advance free, creative and causative thinking
