TESTIMONIALS
"After enrolling in the Institute of Biomedical Sciences Abel Salazar (ICBAS), my initial enthusiasm and appreciation for the area increased even more, being cultivated with the support of all the professionals and professors of the different disciplines and my thesis advisor. I recommend the ICBAS for anyone that, like me, wants to deepen their knowledge in this area, and I do it so with the confidence that they will find every opportunity they may need to grow on their academic path."
"As a former student of the Master's in Legal Medicine, I had a wonderful experience, far beyond being a student! The course is structured in such a way that we have the privilege and opportunity to share with a panel of renowned guests, the best professionals from the best institutions, I highlight a few: Judiciary Police, various specialists from: InmlCF, IPO, University Hospital of Porto, São João, Coimbra, among others, specialists in Law and Ethics, experts from technical teams, insurance companies, etc. Furthermore, the course is divided into modules, which in my opinion, allowed for a better organization of the study plan. This range of different modules also allows including students from different areas of training. The course coordinator, Professor Maria José Pinto da Costa, always sought individual contact with students and their feedback. In terms of human resources, I always found availability for bureaucratic matters. In short, I can advise all colleagues who intend to graduate in this area at ICBAS"
