Methodology

The Final Degree Project (FDP)  will consist of a work carried out individually by the student under the guidance of a director, in which the formative contents, abilities, competencies and skills acquired in the degree are applied and developed.

The fundamental mission of the FDP director is to:

• Set the specifications of the FDP
• Guide the student during the completion of the dissertation on issues related to the structure of the topic, writing, philosophy or approach.
• Ensure that the objectives initially set are achievable within the timeframe foreseen.
• Authorize its presentation and defense

The work of the director begins the moment the student has been assigned a FDP director. 

The FDP must demonstrate that the student has integrated the competences and knowledge acquired in the Degree, through the realization of work from which applied implications for the field of Medicine are derived. The FDP may be:

a) Literature review using a systematic methodology.

b) Literature review including a proposal for an intervention, improvement plan, care plan, business plan, entrepreneurship project, and/or research project.

c) Literature review incorporating the analysis of publicly available or anonymized research data (empirical studies involving data collection requiring ethics committee approval will not be accepted).

Activities for the completion of the FDP

1. Start: once the FDP assignment process has been completed, it is the student's responsibility to contact his/her director within a maximum period of one month to arrange a working meeting. At this meeting, or within the agreed period, students will present the director with a proposal or preliminary draft of the FDP, including: title, objectives, methodology, work schedule. In case of having a co-director or an external advisor, it must be defined.
2. During semester 7, the student must take the on-line course on Information Competencies ("CI for SAN"), available in MiAulario.
3. Development of the FDP: during this period, the student will carry out his/her work with the advice of the FDP director, who must establish at least two working meetings with the student. The basic sections that the FDP will contain, as well as the format to be followed in the presentation, will be made known in the platform of MiAulario.
4. Submission of the FDP: The FDP file must be attached in electronic format (PDF) in the space provided for this purpose in MiAulario. The FDP Defence Registration and the Open or Restricted Access Authorisation in accordance with the UPNA's general FDP regulations must also be submitted, as required.
5. Defense: the public presentation of the FDP will be carried out, before the evaluation committee that have been appointed for this purpose, on the dates that the Faculty will indicate sufficiently in advance, and the student can carry out the defense in three different periods: February, May or September.

Evaluation

* Completing the Information Literacy Skills Course organized by the library is a mandatory requirement for submitting and defending the FDP.

The presentation of the FDP is of a public nature before the tribunal constituted for this purpose, the student will have  time for the oral presentation of his/her work. The student will then answer questions and clarifications posed by the members of the tribunal .

The evaluation of the FDP will be carried out by the corresponding examining board using the appropriate evaluation grid.

The evaluation committee, if applicable, will deliberate on the grade in closed session, giving a hearing, if it deems it appropriate, to the director of the FDP.

If the student does not pass the exam, the evaluating committee will issue a reasoned report on the matter. To this end, the director of the FDP, in view of said report, may propose to the student as many measures as he/she deems appropriate to be able to pass the FDP in future examinations.
