Course content
Semester IIIA is reserved for writing a medical research paper. The purpose of writing this paper is to generate a scientific, problem-oriented way of thinking in the students and promote their ability for life-long learning.
Working with the paper will give the students training in independent problem-solving, critical assessment of scientific literature and formulating a clear approach to a problem. During the fall semester of the fourth year, the student has chosen a topic, made arrangements with his/her tutor and written a protocol for the paper. The paper must in a broad sense be relevant for medical theory or practice. The extended essay can be a scientific work built on literature, existing (patient) data or original observations within a limited field.
