Objectives
Students will gain knowledge and clinical skills on the etiology, pathophysiology, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of the most frequent and/or relevant cardiac and vascular pathologies. The Faculty is composed by Cardiologists, Cardiac Surgeons, Vascular Surgeons, Pharmacologists, Radiologists and Pathologists. An integrated medical-surgical approach is used.
Learning outcomes and competences
The most common and relevant cardiac and vascular pathologies in Portugal will be addressed. These are the first cause of death in our country. They have both a high morbidity and a tremendous economic impact.
It is therefore essential that young doctors be familiar with these diseases, so they are able to contribute for their prevention and treatment in close colaboration with the specialists in the field
