All students are required to complete a dissertation (TFE). It serves several purposes:
- To develop a perspective with hindsight, a critical analysis, an appreciation, a conceptualisation, a sharing of one's experience and/or one's practice as an assistant;
- To discover, define and identify a question of personal interest that has emerged in the course of practising general medicine. This question of personal interest will help you to better position yourself in your career plan;
- Define an appropriate methodology for answering the personal
question
- Select and use a data collection tool
- Collect data in accordance with the RGPD
- Analyse the data collected correctly
- Develop a critical mind and position in relation to the scientific
scientific literature.
- To become autonomous in the learning method, by setting deadlines and using available resources (documents, bibliographies, websites, critical reading, etc.);
- Learn and improve their medical practice, while maintaining a reflective approach.
Working in partnership with their mentor, students frame their TFE in terms of
future practice
- The TFE is defended orally. It is assessed by three (3) members proposed by the heads of the General Medicine departments/academic centres of the Universities of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation: ULB, ULiège and UCLouvain.
- The TFE must be handed in by a date and time that will be specified to the students on MGTFE.
- The TFE must comply scrupulously with the instructions available on MGTFE, failing which it will be penalised.
- The 1st session takes place in May/June for all assistants. All assistants are automatically enrolled.
- The second session takes place in August/September (for assistants who did not attend the 1st session or who failed the 1st session).
- Late submission of the TFE will not be accepted and your mark will be 0 points/20; you will then have to submit it at the following session.
- The arrangements for the June and September sessions are identical.
