The lecturer and medical doctor, Rocío Díaz forms a part of the teaching staff of the Degree in International Physiotherapy from the School of New Interactive Technologies (Escola de Noves Tecnologies Interactives – ENTI-UB) and the University School of Health and Sport (Escola Universitària de la Salut i l’Esport – EUSES-UdG). She has an academic profile based on the branch of Anatomy and Medical Conditions; as well as being a specialist in dermatology. As for the subjects she teaches: Anatomy, Surgical medicine, Orthopaedics and Traumatology, she points out that she always tries to relate the theory to the practice so that students can learn about the real applications of each of these in the professional field.
In the first year of the Degree in International Physiotherapy, Rocío Díaz teaches the subject of Anatomy, during which the students will learn the basics of the structures and of the different tissues of the human body, relating them to each other, learning about their movements and the parts involved. Díaz considers that this material is essential for every physiotherapist in the daily exercise of their profession. Precisely for this reason, in spite of being a predominantly theoretical subject, she always attempts to incorporate the practical side into her classes, along with real examples and cases. Therefore they always do exercises with which they try to discuss the application of the theory in specific clinical cases. This latter aspect can be especially interesting for physiotherapists specialising in certain fields.
This new academic year 2016-2017, Rocío Díaz will also teach the following in the second year: Surgical medicine, Orthopaedics and Traumatology. In Surgical Medicine, she addresses the fundamentals of diseases and provides information on the different specialisations in medicine, the different pathologies and specialties. In contrast, in Orthopaedics and Traumatology the classes focus on the different types of pathologies of a traumatological condition.
