IDOR Postgraduate Program in Medical Sciences
The D'Or Institute for Research and Education (IDOR - www.idor.org) is a private not-for-profit organization, associated with Rede D'Or São Luiz health organization, whose aim is to promote scientific and technological progress and outstanding training of healthcare professionals.
Since 2010, IDOR has been operating in its own headquarters, developing clinical and translational research and coordinating the education activities of Rede D'Or São Luiz health organization’s lato sensu postgraduate program, especially the specialization courses, as well as medical residency programs accredited by the Ministry of Education and Culture (MEC).
IDOR is committed to investing in scientific development, providing excellent infrastructure and bringing together an experienced group of researchers with high scientific production in clinical and translational research in the fields of neurosciences, intensive medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics and oncology.
The high productivity of the IDOR’s researchers, associated with the individual and institutional capacity of obtaining grants, the advantageous national and international academic partnerships, and experience in supervising master's and doctoral students and postdocs, attest to the scientific maturity of the Institute and support the proposal of the Doctoral Program in Medical Sciences, recommended by the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES), to be started in March 2017.
Regardless of being a new Program, it has been already born within an Institution that presents indicators of excellence in research. The IDOR postgraduate program is a natural development of research and education activities that the Institute already conducts, within a context that ensures excellence in its critical mass, with modern imaging, biochemistry, molecular biology and cellular reprogramming laboratory facilities, as well as the strong international insertion of its projects.
The program therefore has an intense multidisciplinary focus due to the faculty’s different fields of study and the proposal of receiving students from different professional backgrounds promoting, through the research lines and the curricular proposal, solid transdisciplinary training.
The researchers/supervisors of the IDOR Doctoral Program are able to establish partnerships and lead multidisciplinary and innovative scientific investigations seeking a model of differentiated and critical academic training integrated with healthcare issues. The faculty is composed of 22 experienced researchers (17 permanent and 5 collaborating supervisors) who are references in their areas, with more than 400 articles published in the last three years, 18 research lines, 49 research projects and about 16 courses made available to students pursuing a scientific training at IDOR.
The southeast region is Brazilian’s geographic region with the highest concentration of schools, universities and research institutes, including Rio de Janeiro as one of these scientific hubs. Offering a Doctoral Program in this region is a challenge that can only be overcome with highly qualified and competitive work founded on scientific and technological grounds equivalent to the programs of excellence abroad. This is the IDOR commitment.
