CONTENT OF THE FINAL PIECE OF WORK FOR THE CERTIFICATE (ALL YEAR LONG)

The final piece of work for the certificate takes the form of an analysis of one or more clinical cases, establishing a tratment protocol and following the principle of evidence-based practice.
Students must choose the measures and develop a design allowing the effectiveness of their intervention to be analysed. The final piece of work must be drafted in a similar format to a scientific article (in Frech or English), then presented in the form of a public oral communication.
