Course Content

The master's thesis is a final piece of the master in specialist medicine, in which the medical specialist in training (ASO) critically reflects on a specific research question from a clinical and scientifical frame of reference. This question can arise from a concrete clinical observation, but also as a further deepening of a scientific understanding. The ASO is assisted by a supervisor/co-supervisors and describes the findings in a scientific work.
