We recruit motivated and committed undergraduated or graduated students whose interest is doing their master or PhD in our research labs.
CCUL is affiliated with the Academic Medical Center of Lisbon (CAML) and most of the PhD students integrate the Doctoral Programme of the CAML. CAML’s research-oriented PhD Programme aims at encouraging clinicians to formulate new questions regarding patients and diseases and bring them to the laboratory. And, conversely, bring questions from the lab to clinical practice. By bringing together medical and non-medical researchers, the program fosters new collaborative approaches and a more effective communication between basic and clinical researchers.

CARDIOVASCULAR REHABILITATION MASTER
Cardiovascular Rehabilitation allows, as a secondary prevention strategy, to recover the patient after acute cardiovascular event, globally, in a multidisciplinary way. This process will decrease incapacity, allowing early return to work and postponing retirement, improve quality and quantity of life and reduce psychological negative effects and cardiac events, which otherwise would be more severe due to repetition and progression of disease. At an earlier phase, not less important and in continuity with secondary prevention, primary prevention should also be considered a priority in health investment.
In the scope of Medicine, as a whole, jointly investigation and clinical practice integrate the scientific knowledge and correspondent implementation. Clinic is based in scientifically proven results, involving pathophysiological mechanisms and therapeutic interventions effects. On the other hand, clinical activity also serves to support clinical investigation, allowing to question established assumptions and achieving new conclusions.
The University of Lisbon, together with the Hospital de Santa Maria, gather the ideal conditions, necessary to the construction of a great project, innovative, reuniting the clinical and investigation components, allowing to offer the patients, and to the general population, a unique service with important consequences at the level of health promotion and cardiovascular disease prevention.
The Lisbon School of Medicine, is a national pioneer in the first Master of Cardiovascular Rehabilitation, contributing to the excellence of professional specificity and scientific investigation in this area.
Scientific Commission: Prof. Ana Abreu (FMUL); Prof. Fausto Pinto (FMUL); Prof. Helena Santa Clara (FMH); Prof. Catarina Sousa Guerreiro (FMUL).

CLINICAL RESEARCH MASTER
Clinical Research is the basis of scientific clinical knowledge, playing a key role in the progress and improvement of knowledge and innovation in Health.
Due to its nature, Clinical Research requires substantial ethical and methodological rigor and is currently well defined by the Good Clinical Practices guidelines, as well as by the European legislation on clinical trials transposed to national legislation. To ensure efficacy and quality, the involvement of research teams oriented towards Clinical Research is essential, as well as appropriate infrastructures and multidisciplinary professionals highly specialized in Clinical Research management.
The Lisbon School of Medicine (FMUL) has extensive knowledge and relevant experience in Clinical Research. Through its research centres it is part of several research groups and platforms, thus promoting Clinical Research of excellence.
In this way, the FMUL meets the ideal and necessary conditions for the creation of an education and training program for professionals in this area of knowledge, an innovative Master’s Degree in a multidisciplinary context, and an integrated vision of Clinical Research.
The teaching team includes researchers with vast clinical experience and collaborators with a strong component in Clinical Research management, thereby ensuring a solid education for the program’s students.
Scientific Committee: Fausto Pinto (CCUL, FMUL); Joaquim Ferreira (FMUL)
