The Master's teaching staff is composed entirely by teachers and experts in this areas stemmed from several organic units of the UP and ESEP, who know the context of higher education, its problems and needs, being in good conditions to intervene in a very specific area. It is also composed of teachers from the various partner institutions, who teach, develop and carry out practical research in areas related to academic and clinical education, and also by experts in training and activity in several areas of the Master. Its framework is the Department of Education and Medical Simulation, formerly Medical Education Center, of FMUP that since 2009 has developed this training area to internal and external academic staff, as well as to supervisors of hospital residents. In this context, the creation of a cycle of studies in Education Academic and Clinical coordinated by FMUP but integrating six organic units and an HEI, aims to contribute to bridging the current gap that exists in our country, of postgraduate programs in these areas, thereby offering to graduates in the fields of health and life sciences the opportunity to develop fundamental skills and competencies in these areas.
