A strong clinical component allows our students to be more confident in their clinical procedures.
Therefore, in our clinical residence, 80% of our students' time is spent between theoretical-practical classes and clinical practice on patients, with the remaining 20% being spent in theoretical classes that allow us to consolidate concepts and validate knowledge by revising the Anatomy and Physiology of the head and neck. Additionally, in addition to the strong clinical component, we also have a team with extensive experience that allows our students to evolve in their professional activity.

In accordance with the amendments to Decree-Law No. 74/2006, of 24 March, as amended by Decree-Law No. 65/2018, of 16 August, by virtue of what is stated in article 4(6) of the latter legal diploma, "It is reserved to higher education institutions the use of the terms "post-graduate", "post-graduate training" and others that suggest that higher education training is in question" , with the consequence that it is no longer possible to use those designations, or others that resemble them, by training institutes or centres that are not duly recognised and accredited higher education institutions. It also follows from that legal restriction that recognized and accredited higher education institutions may not be used to cover the operation of training courses, which are advertised and offered by those institutes or centres, as "post-graduate courses", "specializations", "post-graduate training courses", "advanced training courses", since, conjugated with article 45º1(f) of the above mentioned decree-law and articles 45º-A(4) and 45º-B(b), it will not be legally possible to award ECTS credits for such training.
