About the program
The Graduate Program in Hepatology has a relevant role as a training center for human resources in the research area of hepatology, providing its students with solid training based on scientific publications and in teaching practice. Some of the highlights of the program, the only one in the area in the whole country, are the qualification of the faculty, at national and international levels, the excellence of the works produced, and the integration between undergraduate and graduate studies. The program also stands out for its international research collaborations, which expand scientific knowledge and enhance academic exchange. Additionally, it actively engages in community outreach programs, promoting health education and awareness on liver diseases. The program also regularly organizes scientific events, including congresses and symposiums, such as the "Liver Meeting" held annualy, fostering discussion and knowledge dissemination among professionals and researchers.
Graduate profile
Hepatology Program graduates will be able to develop teaching and research activities in their areas of practice, disseminating the knowledge acquired during the master’s. The graduates are expected to be able to integrate reference centers and producing high-quality knowledge with social relevance.
Infrastructure
The program is provided with a clinical area (both inpatient and outpatient), as well as a range of state-of-the-art laboratories for the development of basic research.
