Divided into two distinct moments, the Director of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Lisbon, Fausto J. Pinto, could not be more proud of the inaugural sessions he hosted.

A few minutes after 8:30 am, the Specialization Course in Forensic Dentistry started in Aula Magna. This official ceremony was attended by the Attorney General of the Republic, Lucília Gago, Francisco Corte Real, of the Institute of Legal and Forensic Medicine, Miguel Pavão, of the Dental Association, the Deputy Director of the Faculty of Dental Medicine, Duarte Marques, as well as the Director of the Faculty of Dental Medicine, Zrinka Tarle and Hrvoje Brkic, of the Zagreb Forensic Organization. The Specialization Course in Forensic Dentistry is coordinated by Cristiana Pereira, the Professor who ended the session and provided the starting point for the first face-to-face class. In this first session, some members of the Judiciary Police and of the Centre for Judicial Studies were also present.

This was followed in the afternoon by another meeting, this time for the Master Degree in Clinical Research, coordinated by the Director of the FMUL, Fausto J. Pinto, together with the President of the Pedagogical Council, Joaquim Ferreira. In this session, which dedicated a motivational video  to the new Master students, FMUL Professor Cristina Sampaio, Chief Medical Officer at the CHDI Foundation, participated directly from the US.

The research paradigms, the expectations regarding “Science that never closes” and the new adaptation to Real World Data, were the main focuses of the Professor’s reflection, who thus launched the motto for what promises to be the training of new leaders.

The Specialization Course in Forensic Dentistry is a postgraduate course consisting of 2 semesters, each semester with 15 weeks. It encompasses 17 subjects in a total of 400 hours.

Whereas Forensic Medicine is now gaining a new perspective in Portugal, Clinical Research does not fail towards a common goal. Both plan for the future and prepare today's people to get ahead of their own time, on behalf of everyone's health.
