Activities of 2024
Learning Sessions
Maurício de Nassau University (UNINASSAU, Brazil)
The Academic League of Intensive Medicine of UNINASSAU participated in an in-person session with Dr. Cristiane Bresani in March 2024. In total, 17 students with varied interest and experience in the field of academic research participated in the session and previously answered a questionnaire.
The survey showed that most students have not yet had opportunities in clinical research, but are interested in scientific production. Next, the League participated in a class with Dr. Bresani on the fundamentals of clinical research and the work of The Global Health Network. According to Dr. Bresani, "they were like owls, very attentive and with many questions".
