CoPGr Resolution 8546, dated December 1st, 2023, establishes the criteria regarding the minimum credit load to be completed in in-person courses. According to this resolution (Art. 1), it is mandatory that students enrolled in the Graduate Program complete at least 60% of the minimum required credits through in-person courses.

To enable students to understand and develop studies in the field of Public Health, the program offers a wide range of courses, classified into three groups as detailed below:

 

FORMATIVE COURSES

• RMS5736 – General Epidemiology
