Postgraduate Program in Medical Sciences

Structure Curriculum

The Master's program in Medical Sciences is based on theoretical, methodological, and didactic-pedagogical disciplines that are interconnected and provide the necessary support for the training of teachers and researchers, aiming at the construction of critical and scientific thinking, with the strengthening of projects and lines of research that contribute to this end. The dissertation work for the completion of the course is developed according to the Areas of Concentration.

The curriculum structure of the Master's in Medical Sciences is based on three pillars of training: (1) technical training, according to the Program's Area of ​​Concentration; (2) scientific training; and (3) teacher training.

This strategy aims to meet the program's objectives in training highly qualified professionals for advanced clinical, teaching, and scientific practice, capable of transformative actions in society through teaching, the development of research lines, and the planning and resolution of public policies appropriate to social demands.

The disciplines that comprise the Master's Degree in Medical Sciences were designed for close integration between the curricular structure of the areas of concentration and the strengthening of research lines.
