In the third year, BAST will focus on applying scientific skills that were obtained during the previous two years. Especially, students will learn to apply biomedical research for research questions that relate to diagnosis, treatment, or the biology behind human diseases. Where possible, teaching in the third year will be illustrated and integrated using examples of virtual patients or sessions with actual patients. Moreover, philosophical aspects of knowledge will be discussed.
Like in the first two bachelor years, a year assignment must be carried out. This assignment involves translation of a clinical problem into a biomedical research approach. A report must be prepared that presents and discusses the background, research question, plan of investigation, and expected results of the project, placed in a clinical context.
Implementation
Like in the first two years, education and training of this line is integrated in the thematic modules. Moreover, one line module is scheduled: “Theories of Science”, focussed on theme 4. The year assignment is scheduled next to the modules and must be carried out throughout the year. In the academic year 2008-2009 there will be a LIMSC. The students of the third bachelor year will carry out the LIMSC assignment.

Objectives/ aim
In the second year of the study Biomedical Academic Scientific Training (BAST) was focused on the process of biomedical research. In the third year this will be further extended. The specific themes of the third year are:
*Clinical practice; *Biomedical research in relation with clinical practice; *Ethical and legal aspects of biomedical research; *Philosophy of scientific knowledge.

Literature
There are no specific course books other than specified in the various course modules. A Blackboard module for the third year line education BAST is available.
Form of tuition
Evaluation of the reports of the year assignment (70%) and LIMSC assignment (30%).
Both must be judged ‘pass’.
