PhD in Medical Clinic

The Graduate Program in Clinical Medicine, one of the first in clinical medicine in Brazil, has the general objective of providing in-depth scientific training to researchers, aiming to develop technical, scientific and ethical skills in the field of research, teaching and assistance in the area of ​​health.
