Contacts and exchanges with foreign educational and health institutions are presently under development, with the aim to provide students with a reasonably broad range of international mobility programs. Based on the peculiarities of the training curriculum and the specific needs of the students, who predominantly work as health professionals in public and private institutions, the mobility programs will include training activities within the organizational and research domains.
Attendance of all educational activities contemplated in the study programme is mandatory.
To be allowed to sit the for-credit exam, students must have attended at least 75% of the formal and informal educational programming contemplated for each course.
