- Learning outcomes
- The PhD program is dedicated to Cardiology / Cardiac Surgery, Nephrology/ Urology, Pulmonology/Thoracic surgery/ Esophageal surgery .It is articulated in basic and clinical research in the fields of stem cells, genetics, thoracic oncology , immunology, in any area of possible development of research pertinent to the curricula in which the course of doctorate is organized. The educational objectives are:
- the introduction to the methodology of scientific research
- the acquisition of bibliographic research methodologies , implementation of the data base, statistical processing data
- the acquisition of special laboratory techniques in the context of defined research projects
- the acquisition of modern computer aids for research and communication
- knowledge of the basic rules a) of medical ethics in clinical research and b) the ethics of laboratory experimentation
- knowledge of methods of structure of research protocols. - Activities to be carried out by Doctoral candidates
- Students will play the research activity understood as "learning laboratory." Common to all the addresses are the bibliographical research, understanding and review of the literature, preparation of study protocols, statistical analysis of the data collected for preparation of abstracts, communications, articles, preferably to be submitted to Congress and international journals whose access is tramita "peer review". Students will be primarily responsible for the process of "peer review" process, the presentation and discussion of the data at conferences. Students who have chosen to address the basic research laboratory activities take place, other laboratory and clinical or clinical only. The experimental samples will be in the various options experiments and patients.
- Research training activities compliant with the Doctoral programme's learning outcomes
- The training consists of research laboratory and / or clinical research, coordinated by the Superivsore Ph.D., and educational activities, including four areas of training: Common University, common doctorates medical area, common and specific PhD.
- The University organizes the basic training on the management of research, knowledge of research systems and financing systems, exploiting the results of research and intellectual property, business culture. PhD students with specific interests can also follow advanced courses on these topics.
- The Doctoral medical area organize courses of scientific English (24 hours, in collaboration with the University Language Centre) and safety courses in biomedical environment (12 hours, in collaboration with the Area People and Organisation of the University and with Referrals to the Security Departments of reference).
- The PhD organizes seminars common members of the Academic Board. The main topics are those described in reference to the three curricula which make up the PhD program
- The Supervisor directs the PhD student to specific training events (conferences, workshops, internships, revisions of case studies, etc.) And is responsible for computer training advanced according to the research project. - Internationalization features
- The PhD program has established a cooperative relationship with universities and scientific training centers and multinational companies with intensive research and development in the biomedical field, in Europe and North America.
