The items evaluated in this final stage are specified in the Curriculum Analysis Table, available in the announcement.
RESPCD's activities are carried out at two ISD facilities in Macaíba: the Anita Garibaldi Center for Health Education and Research (Anita) and the Edmond and Lily Safra International Institute of Neuroscience (IIN-ELS). The ISD offers daily chartered transportation between the cities of Natal and Macaíba.
The ISD Residency Program combines teaching, research, and outreach, focusing on strengthening the care network for people with disabilities within the Unified Health System (SUS). In addition to access to the ISD's care delivery environment, residents will have the opportunity to engage with the research activities and projects developed in the IIN-ELS Graduate Program in Neuroengineering.
