INTRODUCTION
This Master's degree aims for the student to acquire knowledge and solid training to start a research career in the different areas of knowledge related to Medicine. The great joint challenge of the areas of medicine and biosciences is to create a common framework where the two-way communication of knowledge and procedures forge a field aimed at generating a translational power of solid and quality knowledge that is easily and quickly exportable to clinical practice. Only with quality, avant-garde, and multidisciplinary training can new professionals be trained in the field of care and research with effective translational capacity that ensures that health care, research, and teaching constitute an indissoluble nucleus in the continuous training of doctors and biomedical professionals, enabling them to face the challenges that arise in the clinic, research, or teaching, and therefore, adapt to the demands of society. For this reason, this Master’s degree is aimed at both medical graduates and nonmedical graduates. On the one hand, it is intended to increase the research training of medical graduates and resident internal specialists in their areas of specialization, and on the other, it offers the opportunity for research training to graduates in sciences related to medicine that enable them to develop their Doctoral Thesis in preclinical and clinical areas of knowledge.
OBJECTIVES
The Master's Degree in Medical Research: clinical and experimental aims for students to acquire new knowledge that updates, expands, and complements their training in the different strata of medicine, from care work and diagnostic methods to the determination of molecular and cellular characteristics linked to pathology through the use of current techniques. On the one hand, it is intended to increase the research training of medical graduates and resident internal specialists in their area of specialization, and on the other, it offers the opportunity to graduates in sciences related to Medicine to acquire basic knowledge about certain aspects of Medicine that will enable them to develop their Doctoral Thesis in preclinical and clinical areas of knowledge.
The specific objectives pursued in this master's degree are as follows.
- The student acquires sufficient knowledge of the molecular bases and clinical and epidemiological aspects of the most prevalent pathologies in our environment to deepen the mechanisms of action of current therapies.
- Provide the student with the knowledge and management of advanced techniques in the research laboratory that help him to carry out his research work in a preclinical and clinical environment.
- To combine advanced training in the different fields of Medicine among medical students, resident internal specialists, and nonmedical students to contribute to the generation of professionals with greater curricular diversity and the ability to apply the knowledge acquired and to solve problems in new or little-known environments within multidisciplinary contexts related to Medicine.
- To enable medical students to provide research training complementary to their area of specialization and to facilitate the generation of preclinical and clinical research training in nonmedical students.
- Present students with a deeper and more scientific vision of clinical and preclinical research to improve their training, preparation, and ability to integrate knowledge for their care, scientific, and/or teaching work.
- Acquire basic training to start post-graduate training in any medical field.
- Promote that the student acquires the knowledge and the ability to identify problems, design, and execute an investigation using the scientific method that enables him to interpret his results.
