Multidisciplinary Project-based Learning in Pharmacy course is part of the PhD Programme in Pharmacy, and trains students to embrace new ways of thinking, outside their confort area, in order to generate a new approach to solve a real-world-based problem (for example, a pandemic disease). To achieve this goal, mixed groups of students (background in chemistry, biology, or pharmaceutical sciences) will provide the starting point for productive discussions that will culminate in the elaboration of a project capable of answering the proposed problem.
Understanding how to integrate multi- and translational disciplines will facilitate students to reinforce their critical thinking, communication skills, and networking among peers. These are key tools to develop a scientific personality, crucial for the upcoming years of their PhD programs.
The course will be held at the Research Institute for Medicines (iMed.ULisboa), Faculdade de Farmácia, Universidade de Lisboa, in Lisbon. The training program is aimed at PhD students, but welcomes the participation of external academic and scientific community members. Registration is free but mandatory.
The course will last 4 weeks (1 day per week – in total 4 days)
