The Stricto Sensu Graduate Program in Cardiology of the School of Medicine of the University of São Paulo (FMUSP) comprises a set of scheduled activities, both advanced and individualized, guided by an advisor, which include and privilege teaching and research, always aiming to integrate knowledge. This program should be understood as a system of intellectual formation and, at the same time, of production of knowledge in each field. The program headquarters are located at the Heart Institute of the Clinical Hospital of FMUSP.
