Introduction
The subject must provide the student with the experience and knowledge necessary to enable, during the term, a protocol for a clinical or review study that will allow the development of a research work based on evidence and subsequent defense.
Pre-course requirements
The student must be admitted to the Postgraduate Course in Management and Creation of Dental Clinics, and be up to date with attendance at the corresponding modules.
Therefore, he or she must have a qualification related to Dentistry, preferably a Bachelor's degree in Dentistry. People with other qualifications related to Dentistry, such as a degree or higher degree in dental prosthetics or a degree in oral hygiene, can also access this postgraduate course.
On the other hand, this postgraduate course is also open to people who have qualifications not related to Dentistry, but who show an interest or experience in the dental world. In this group you can find people with qualifications in psychology, marketing, accounting, entrepreneurship, administrative management, business leadership, nursing, among others.
Objectives
That the student at the end of the Postgraduate, is able to express the knowledge acquired during the course on a specific topic, delving into it based on scientific evidence, through the development of a research project, tutored within the proposed Basic Research Lines. The student must be able to defend it correctly in front of a tribunal proposed for this purpose at the end of the subject.
Learning outcomes of the subject
Field study:
The student, under the control of the tutor, will request the necessary documentation that will allow him to collect the necessary information to develop the investigation, in case it has to be carried out at the UIC.
The student will record the information collected in the data collection sheet described in the memory.
3. The student, supported by his tutor, will carry out the statistical study, being able to carry out the queries that are deemed relevant to a specialist in statistics according to the teacher's criteria.
4. Results. Description of the results, tables, graphs, etc. according to the statistical data obtained. The teacher will assess the student's understanding in his analysis. It is important not to repeat information and include statistical data.
5. Discussion. The student will compare both the methodology used and the results with those of the reviewed articles.
6. Conclusions. They must be numbered and related to the objectives described at the beginning of the work in the Objectives section.
7. Future expectations: describe the future prospects of the study.
8. Bibliographic references.
