III Physiotherapy Research Journey

"Today, the training of researchers begins at graduation. This is because the Ministry of Education understands that, even if one wants to work in the clinic, the professional must produce knowledge. As the period in graduate studies is very short, there is no time to learn to do research. It is necessary to learn to do research in graduation", explained the coordinator of Postgraduate Studies, Research and Extension at Bahiana, Prof. Dr. Kátia Sá, in her opening lecture of the III Physiotherapy Research Journey of Bahiana, held on May 2, at the Cabula Academic Unit.
