The Master in Rehabilitation Nursin aims to train specialized practice in rehabilitation nursing, developing scientific, technical and human skills to:

  • To apply the Nursing Process in solving complex problems, designing, implementing and evaluating rehabilitation nursing care;

  • To promote the construction and dissemination of knowledge of rehabilitation nursing;
  • To integrate multidisciplinary teams and stimulate processes of change and innovation in the light of scientific knowledge and research;
  • Knowing the strategies of management.

The Master’s programme offers two possibilities for academic training:

  • Master’s degree in rehabilitation nursing with clinical practice: through this program it is possible to obtain the Title of Specialist recognized by the Ordem dos Enfermeiros. Master’s students must complete the UC of Professional Internship I and Professional Internship II with Report;
  • Master’s degree in rehabilitation nursing without clinical practice: this possibility does not allow obtaining the recognized Specialist Title by the Ordem dos Enfermeiros because master’s students do not complete the UC of Internship of a professional nature I and the UC of Internship of a professional nature of nature II. In this trajectory, master’s students carry out the dissertation and the dissertation project.
