Faculty International Integration:

The supervisors of the IDOR Doctoral Program are senior researchers, and among the 17 supervisors, 12 are researchers from CNPq and FAPERJ scientists, with an average of over 100 articles published per year. The commitment is directed to publications in high quality journals with a high citation index. Regarding this item, the scientific production, IDOR Doctoral Program in Medical Sciences has a level of excellence comparable to courses with scores 6 and 7 according to CAPES evaluation.

Besides the outstanding intellectual production, we can highlight other characteristics of international integration of the Program’s supervisors:

Program Internationalization:

IDOR Doctoral Program naturally blends with IDOR’s research activities, which already have a very robust international implication.
All research lines and many of the projects are conducted in active partnerships with international research groups that result in intense mobility in both directions, and authorship in scientific articles.

An average of 15 foreign researchers visit IDOR each year and, currently, the Institute receives 8 postdocs from abroad.

The Doctoral Program is open to foreign students and will offer international subjects and courses as of the second year, including the participation of foreign teachers via Skype/video/web.

In the first year of the Program the student must register for the core course "Scientific Writing" which aims to improve the writing and communicative qualities of scientific papers written in English.
