Post-Graduation in Medical Pathophysiology | Faculdade de Ciências Médicas

The Medical Pathophysiology Post-Graduation Program aims to train high-level teaching staff/lecturers and researchers in various areas of basic or applied medicine. The course emphasizes interdisciplinary and critical scientific training, contextual qualification and our mission of course nucleation.

The persistent pursuit of academic excellence and commitment to research activity constitutes the basic motivation of the program. This proposal led to the creation of an interdisciplinary-themed postgraduate program in specific areas of knowledge, employing complementary lines of active and productive research. Its target audience is physicians and non-physicians and course durations are 12-30 months for Masters Degrees (M.Sc.) and 24-60 months for Ph.D. courses.
