“AOSpine, by supporting the UCS Master's Degree program, consolidates its institutional differential by effectively incentive in the formal and practical development of surgical research in spine. As an AOSpine member, I’ve attended several training courses in scientific methodology. Moreover, I’ve also got to know and collaborated with projects developed and supported by AOSpine with different mentors. |
Now, throughout a formal education program, I hope to improve my personal research skills. As well as develop basic-science projects in Spine Surgery of spinal cord trauma and regenerative medicine. Of course with the support of Prof. Dr. Asdrubal Falavigna and participants of the Master’s Degree Program in Health Sciences offered by the University of Caxias do Sul (BR). My final goal is to publish content with applicable results and technologies that offer a better treatment opportunity for patients. In addition, I want to disseminate this research incentive and scientific production at the Spine Center in which I am part of in Belo Horizonte – the Lifecenter Orthopedic Hospital”, said Arruda. |
