ACTIVITIES
The DMF develops its activities in three big areas: graduate and post-graduate teaching, research, and community service. For further information on the activities carried out in the Department, please look for it in the pages of each individual laboratory or in the Secretariat of the Department.
In the area of graduate teaching, the DMF is responsible for teaching the courses regarding basic sciences of the Integrated Master´s in Veterinary Medicine. These subjects are the bases for the courses of clinical nature, animal production, food safety and animal health. This department participates and ensures, either completely or partially, teaching of undergraduate courses in Animal Science, together with the Instituto Superior de Agronomia (ISA/ULisboa ). The DMF actively participates in supervising students of Integrated Master´s in Veterinary Medicine from FMV/ ULisboa, as well as Master´s from other Institutions of Higher Education and Research (ISA/ULisboa, etc.). It participates in collaboration on the supervision of the “Preparatories of Veterinary Medicine” by the University of Azores.
With respect to the post-graduate teaching, the DMF collaborates on the following Master´s and post-graduate courses:
Master´s in Food Safety, Master´s in Animal Production (ISA/FMV), Master´s and post-graduate course in “Control of Quality and Toxicology” (FF-ULisboa). There is a marked tendency for the involvement of teachers and researchers in intra and extra-mural activities with national and international institutions of higher education and society.
In the area of research, the DMF develops basic and applied research projects that englobe the different Research Units of CIISA, from basic sciences to applied sciences, which include national researchers and International cooperation.
Extra-mural services are done as requested by the various fields of the Portuguese society.
