Com@Rehab – Testimony of a Research Grant Holder

Carolina Silva, student of the Integrated Master in Biomedical Engineering at NOVA School of Science and Technology (NOVA FCT), shared with us a testimony of her experience as a Research Grant Holder in the Com@Rehab project between March and November 2021:

Being part of a project as relevant as Com@Rehab and being surrounded by a multidisciplinary team full of professionals is a unique opportunity for any student and an asset I’ll take with me into the future. During these months, in addition to learning about my field of studies, I’ve learned a lot about other different fields that may not seem related at first glance. The best thing I take from this experience is the interdisciplinary knowledge and vision that are only possible from an extracurricular standpoint.”

Com@Rehab – Communication for interactive rehabilitation in virtual reality is a collaborative project in development by NOVA FCT, NOVA FCSH and NOVA Medical School, and was Value for Health CoLAB, o HEI_Lab e o Centro de Medicina e Reabilitação de Alcoitão as partners.
