Top Postgraduate Questions: How Do I Schedule My Clinical Immersions?

In the asynchronous in-person model, classes combine online theory courses with in-person content taught in clinical immersions at Nepuga/FAPUGA units and teaching clinics. 

We know that the clinical immersion is the moment postgraduate program students look forward to most. Who doesn't dream of putting on the lab coat, arriving at the teaching clinic, handling the materials and putting all their knowledge into practice treating real patients?

If you are a Nepuga/FAPUGA student, your time to practice is closer than you think. So see how scheduling hands-on classes works and get ready for your clinical immersion!

Information about hands-on classes (clinical immersions)

• Clinical immersions at support campuses take place once a minimum quorum of 80% of student capacity is reached, with 30 days' advance notice;

• The teaching clinics are part of the community outreach projects and the program pedagogical projects of the Specialization Center (NEPUGA), linked to Faculdade Ana Carolina Puga (FAPUGA);

• Care of model patients includes procedures such as: botulinum toxin, facial fillers, facial harmonization, ozone therapy, among other procedures relevant to the work of aesthetics professionals.
