Applied Research in Clinica Physiology II

Knowledge of the core areas of Clinical Physiology;
Knowledge of Research Merhodologies and Statistics.
Knowledge on Ethics.

The course aims to prepare an original scientific paper and a systematic review article, in the scientific area
of Clinical Physiology, based on the research project prepared and approved in the course of Applied
Research in Clinical Physiology I. The process of preparing the scientific paper will be guided by a professor
from the UCP of Clinical Physiology, in the technical-scientific component, by a professor from ESTeSC, in the
statistical component, and under the supervision of the head professor of the course

The student must acquire:
Knowledge:
• in-depth of the scientific area which developed the research project;
• about the “State of the art” of scientific area which developed the research project;
Skills to:
• to analyze critically the results obtained during his investigative project, discuss and compare them with
those
published in the scientific literature;
• to write a scientific article in accordance with the standards and guidelines of ESTESC;
Competences to:
• data analysis and its evaluation.
• to work in multidisciplinary teams and follow the guidelines given by the scientific advisor;
• to present and publish the results obtained within the framework of the research project is in Clinical
Physiology;
• to transfer the results of their research project in Clinical Physiology for daily professional practice.

Development and implementation of an applied research project in Clinical Physiology, founded on problem-
based research.

The assessment of the Applied Research II course will include:
a) Continuous assessment during the orientation process;
b) Evaluation of the systematic review scientific article;
c) Evaluation of the original scientific article;
d) Evaluation of the presentation and defense of the work before a jury.
e) The Jury for evaluating the presentation of the research workwill be made up of at least 3 elements. This
jury will comprise the holder of the curricular unit, the teacher who supervises the work and at least one
discussant.
The final grade will result from a weighted average of the classifications attributed by the (40%), by the head
teacher of the course (40%) and by the examiner(s) (20%).
Given the specific nature of this course, and in accordance with the Academic Regulations, it is not subject to
