Past topics:
Seminars in health Sciences: these courses hone the ability of our students to read and discuss the current primary scientific literature.
Career Development: these courses assist the student development of several key career skills: the ability to successfully communicate with students and other scientists, and the ability to successfully navigate ethical considerations unique to the research community.
The Stricto Sensu Postgraduate Program in Health Sciences is promoting the open class "Interdisciplinary Seminars in Health Sciences". The event will be held online via Google Meet and, at each meeting, there will be a specific theme and the participation of different speakers. Check out the schedule and participate:
