Sustainable Development Goals
Learning Goals
Students must:
1. To understand the contribution of research to the construction of scientific and clinical knowledge, in a real context;
2. To know the structuring elements in the investigation and apply them to the design of the proposed research project;
3. To develop the research protocol for the proposed research project;
4. To develop data collection skills;
5. To develop skills for processing the data obtained, as well as analyzing the information;
6. Develop advanced bibliographic research skills, obtaining the necessary references for the writing of the theoretical framework, as well as for the rationale of the used methods and techniques;
7. To develop skills in the analysis of scientific papers, communication and scientific dissemination;
8. Present and discuss the obtained results.

Teaching Methods
The seminars will be developed on the themes listed in point 5, by the professor or by invited professors, specialists. The seminars will take place in interspersed weeks, so that knowledge can be applied and integrated during the TP sessions tutored by the teacher and by the supervisors of the potential ongoing research projects. Students will also be able, with the help of a supervisor, to build their own research project. In the TC, students tutored by supervisors must develop research work in a real context, either in the laboratory or in health services.
At the end of course, the evaluation will comprise the supervisor's evaluation regarding the developed TC (35%), an activities report (40%) and the presentation and discussion of the results obtained (25%). For approval, the student must obtain a final classification equal or greater than 9.5 values.
