Research training course

The Research Training Pathway (PFR) is aimed at the preparation and education of future researchers in the biomedical field and harmonizes studies in Medicine with a background in science through a step-by-step approach to the knowledge and clinical application of basic sciences.

If you are a deserving and motivated student, the program is directed toward you and involves progressive participation in research activity that allows you to develop the ability to conceive and carry out an independent project.

During the path you will learn:

• scientific rigor
• methods
• critical skills
and culture

so that you learn the correct approach to research problems and their solution.

Teamwork and, in parallel, leadership will be fostered, with the aim of communicating passion for research, enhancing personal skills, highlighting any critical issues and areas for improvement, and developing independent judgment and scientific creativity.

At the end of the training you will receive the Diploma Supplement: a certification of the work you have done.
