The objectives of this COIL project were:
Get to know, interact, and work with dentistry students from a foreign university.
Participate in the conduct of a retrospective observational study seeking to determine the prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing in a population in Santiago, Chile, and the Community of Madrid, Spain.
Learn to develop discussion and conclusions.
Learn to create a scientific poster.
The project was carried out in two stages:
Students conducted surveys on patients at the University of Desarrollo Clinic (in Spain, they also collected surveys).
Students from Chile and Spain worked in groups to draft discussions and conclusions based on a theoretical framework, methods, and results provided by the teachers. They then created a scientific poster and recorded a video together.
