Doctoral Programme of the Academic Medical Centre of Lisbon
The CAML PhD Program, being research oriented, aims to stimulate clinicians to formulate new questions regarding patients and diseases and to bring them into the laboratory. And reciprocally to bring questions from the laboratory into clinical practice. By bringing together medical and non-medical researchers, the program stimulates new approaches to collaboration and more effective communication between basic researchers and clinicians.
This program intentionally focuses on research and proposes a very flexible curriculum structure that can be adapted to candidates from different medical and related fields as well as allowing students to choose between full or part-time study. In this way, individual pathways are created that best fit the profiles of the doctoral candidates.
The PhDCAML is characterised by the diversity of doctoral students participating in the programme, with variedprofessional backgrounds, which is a relevant added value for biomedical and clinical research as it generates aninterdisciplinary environment that covers the whole spectrum of health research.
The distribution of the PhDCAML doctoral students among the three branches is as follows:
-56 doctoral candidates in the Medicine branch;
-136 doctoral candidates in Biomedical Sciences;
-26 doctoral candidates in Health Sciences and Technologies.
