paraclinical diagnostic process, or treatment process – to prepare for
protocols and guidelines) – one per resident per year.

Small-scale
prospective studies (such as validation studies) that can be completed in 2
years – total of 2 per resident during
the whole training program)
Other types and scales of prospective studies are welcome in
addition to the above minimum requirements.

1.
17
case presentation and discussions of management issues
2.
6
