Post-Graduation in Medical Pathophysiology

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.

GUIDELINES FOR THESES AND DISSERTATION EXAMINATIONS

A Dissertation or Thesis Examination may be requested after the student:

1. Passes his/her Qualifying Examination
2. M.Sc.: Presents proof of the submission of an article to an internationally-circulating scientific journal that is indexed by SCI, describing the contents of the M.Sc.Thesis (student must be first author).
3. Ph.D.: Presents proof of the acceptance of an article by an internationally-circulating scientific journal that is indexed by SCI, describing the contents of the Ph.D.Thesis (student must be first author).

To schedule the date and place of the defense, the student should consult the availability of amphitheaters (Post-Graduation, FCM - Webpage - Classroom Schedules / Amphitheater CPG / FCM). Then send an email with the subject . Book Room CPG”, indicating the e-mail the room / amphitheater, day, time and reservation data (M.Sc./Ph.D., name of student / supervisor and course).

 

PROCEDURES FOR QUALIFYING EXAMINATION

 

To take the Qualifying Examination, the student will need to:
