UCIMED and the School of Public Health of a prestigious American university have formed an alliance to offer the “Principles and Practice of Clinical Research Program (PPCR)” course. This program aims to provide medical students and professionals with an opportunity to expand their knowledge in clinical research. The course is taught by teachers from Harvard University in the United States.
The objective of the program is to share experiences and insights into new therapies and treatments for major diseases that threaten global public health.

According to Dr. Sebastián Ospina, a researcher at UCIMED and the director of this initiative for Costa Rica, the course offers great opportunities for professional growth, curricular development, and learning. It not only provides high academic quality but also allows participants to network with individuals from different countries.
