Teaching Methodologies

In conjunction with the teaching methodology, the learning activities in the Epidemiology module will be centered on the research, selection and organization of the contents developed in a perspective of deepening knowledge according to the individual need of each student.

The theory classes in the Statistics module will have an expository component that will always be accompanied by examples of application in the Health area. The teacher / student interaction will also be an important component in the learning process, both in theory and theoretical-practical classes.
