There are not specific requirements to enroll in this subject.
The objective of this module is that the student acquires the skills associated with their field of expertise, promoting a proactive and enterprising attitude. The module is designed for those students who want to orientate the master's degree on the professional profile. The module includes a period of internships in public or private companies, where the student will have the opportunity to consolidate their training, integrating learned knowledge, reflecting on professional skills, and developing the skills acquired. In this sense, the main objective of this internship is to maximize the interaction of the students with the professional environment of the master’s degree.
All kinds of knowledge gained during the stay in a public or private company, whose main activity must be related to the field of the master's degree.
To carry out the external internship, the master’s degree has a list of Assisted Reproduction and Cytogenetics laboratories where students can complete the stay.
The organization of the stay depends on the coordinator of the module and the tutors designated by the companies.
The module coordinator is in charge of the academic management of the module by doing the following tasks: i) Advise the students about the most suitable center to carry out the practices according to their interests and abilities; ii) Check the adequacy of the profile of the candidates to the needs of the companies; iii) Distribute the students in the different centers trying to satisfy their preferences; iv) Keep in touch with the collaborating centers to satisfy their needs and interests; v) Evaluate the degree of student satisfaction once the internship period has ended by reviewing the "Student Satisfaction Sheet" form; vi) Evaluate the degree of satisfaction of the internship tutor with the student through the form "Center satisfaction sheet"; vii) Conduct follow-up tutoring for students during their internship.
The tutor designated by the company will supervise and evaluate the work done by the student in the laboratory. The tutor will guide the student during the stay though the scheduled regular meetings that will allow them to perform a personalized follow-up of the student.

The evaluation of the module will be carried out considering the following evaluation activities:
1) Student monitoring reports
Students must submit to the coordinator of the module two follow-up reports during the stay. The first report must be submitted at the end of the first month of the activity, and the second report at the end of the stay at the center. Both reports must be signed by the center tutor and follow the following guidelines:
- Maximum length two pages; margins 2.5 cm; font Tahoma/Arial; font-size 10; spaced 6pt; simple line spacing.
- The contents of the reports must refer to the following aspects:
• Planning/Schedule of the activity.
• Activities performed and laboratory methodologies applied.
• Level of immersion in the service(s), department(s) and methodology(s).
• Bibliographic resources.
• Specification of the work (clinical case or equivalent) that will be used for the final master's thesis (TFM; see the syllabus of the TFM Module). The selection of the case must be made in agreement with the tutor of the center.
• Degree of satisfaction.
• Other aspects to be highlighted.
Both reports must be sent by e-mail and in *pdf format to the module coordinator (Joan.Blanco@uab.cat) that will evaluate them. The mark obtained will contribute 50% to the final grade of the student.
The delivery of the second report must be accompanied by the assessment of the stay by completing the document "Satisfaction of the student".
2) Monitoring report of the tutor of the collaborator center
The center’s tutor will evaluate the activity carried out by the student using the "CompanyInternship Report" form. The mark provided by the tutor will contribute 35% to the final grade of the student.
3) Module Coordinator Evaluation
The coordinator of the module will carry out a final assessment of the practices developed by the student that will weight 15% on the final mark of the student.
