The aim of this call is to reward those final degree (TFG) and final master's degree (TFM) projects that highlight the importance of rational use of medicines (URM), as well as the problems detected because of this, and expose effective solutions to address this problem.
Chair of Rational Use of Medicine MICOF - UV considers that the TFG and TFM are a good tool to highlight the problems arising from the inappropriate use of medicines, analyse the causes and help develop possible effective solutions. Therefore, these awards seek to promote awareness and understanding of the importance of the rational use of medicines in people's health, and also to recognise effective and innovative solutions that have led or may lead to an improvement in any aspect of this field.
