Education objectives
This program plans to train a new generation of researchers and non-physicians with a comprehensiv e perspective on health science research, encouraging multidisciplinarity and promoting projects of scientific and technical merit. The student will be encouraged to identify research areas with higher scientific, technological and impact potential. In methodological terms, the student must be able to identify a research and conceptualize and elaborate a proposal of research project, innovative and competitive, according to the most demanding scientific quality standards, integrating consistently the experimental methodologies that best respond to the scientific issues raised. During the course of study, the student will also be trained to evaluate and discuss other projects in this area, completing their scientific training as well as consolidating their capabilities as a peer-reviewer, another essential competence in research activity.
