Abstract

The End-of-Degree Project (TFG) is a supervised research project that medical students must carry out before graduating. This study aims to make radiology teaching staff aware of the importance of getting involved in tutoring radiology TFGs. We provide recommendations to help encourage students choose our area and carry it out. We describe the TFG regulations for the subject of medicine as well as data on TFGs carried out both in medicine in general, and more specifically in radiology between 2018 and 2022. The total number of radiology TFGs was 181, accounting for 3.3% of the 5349 TFGs carried out in medicine. There was a discrepancy between the results found on the websites, those expected according to the number of graduates and those provided by the teachers contacted. We would consider reasonable a percentage of TFGs in radiology proportional to the number of credits of this subject during the degree course and the number of lecturers in this subject.

Resumen

El Trabajo Fin de Grado (TFG) es un trabajo de investigación tutelado que el estudiante de medicina debe realizar obligatoriamente antes de graduarse. Este estudio pretende concienciar a los profesores de Radiología para que se involucren en la tutorización de TFGs en Radiología, aportando recomendaciones para mejorar su oferta y su realización. Se ha recopilado la normativa de TFG en Medicina, así como datos de los TFGs realizados en Medicina y los TFGs relacionados con Radiología entre 2018 y 2022. Se identificaron 181 TFGs de Radiología, un 3,3% de 5.349 TFGs de Medicina identificados. Los resultados muestran discordancia entre los constatados en las webs, los esperados según el número de alumnos egresados y los aportados por los profesores contactados. Se consideraría aceptable un porcentaje de TFGs de Radiología proporcional a los créditos de dicha materia durante la carrera y al número de profesores de la misma.
