Graduate Program in Health Sciences

INTRODUCTION

The Graduate Program in Health Sciences welcomes the participation of physicians and non-physician professionals. The research lines focus on pathophysiology of infectious and chronic diseases understanding, especially those related to regional specificities. The studies include experimental and clinical investigations in many areas of health sciences, evidencing a multidisciplinary approach to the prevention, diagnostic and interventionist phases of the diseases. The program aims to improve the scientific and technological development. The program, therefore, enables the graduate students to practice teaching and research, and thus facilitates the process of knowledge propagation, and formation of new research lines in different areas of Health Sciences.

Suitable for: Professionals from different areas of Health Sciences
Area of concentration: Health Sciences
