Students attend each workshop for a period defined by the program of the Director of educational activities. During this period the student is actively inserted in the context of the preparatory, diagnostic and research activities and instructed on the structural and functional organization of the laboratory. The student must also be able to fit into the organization of the different laboratories, identifying and respecting the roles and skills of all the professional figures that work there and collaborating with them to achieve the set goals.
