It aims to enable solid scientific education of researchers in the health field, aiming to develop technical, scientific, and ethical-political competencies in the scope of research, care and teaching.
It produces knowledge in the field of health, reflecting the valorization of interdisciplinary work without loosing the “conducting wire” in the nursing field in relation to aspects that involve care delivered to the health-disease continuum in all dimensions as well as its understanding and explanation.
