How do we do it?
Thanks to inter-institutional cooperation mechanisms and technological tools that expand our reach.
- We contribute to instruction in the departments of Health Sciences and Engineering, Design, and Applied Sciences at Universidad Icesi.
- Each year, we collaborate with international experts and a network of Colombian universities to offer virtual postgraduate courses. The universities register these courses in their master’s and doctoral programs.
- We identify areas of the research process that require improvement and develop relevant continuing education opportunities for stakeholders. These opportunities are essential for keeping pace with ongoing advances in health research.
- Undergraduate and graduate students, as well as young researchers, physicians, and bacteriologists performing Compulsory Social Service, can participate in research projects, undertake internships, and conduct thesis research under the supervision of mentors.
