In the scope of the Master’s Degree in Clinical Research Management, and with the main goal of allowing students to have a direct contact with real work environment, a curricular internship was performed during both semesters of 2021/2022.This internship was done at Centro Hospitalar de Lisboa Ocidental, E.P.E. (CHLO), specifically at Hospital de São Francisco Xavier (HSFX), under the existing collaboration with NOVA Clinical Research Unit (NOVA CRU) and having Doctor Sara Maia as the advisor. This report is organized in the following chapters: I. Contextualization of the Master’s Degree curricular internship at CHLO, presentation of the host institutions as well as the learning goals proposed for the internship. II. Study Coordination activities performed at CHLO during the internship and their presentation and quantification. III. Bibliographic Review regarding “The impact of health literacy in clinical research”. It is important to highlight that, for this report, only the internship hours performed between 20th September 2021 and 31st March 2022 were considered, adding up to 798 hours. However, a 6-month Research Initiation Scholarship that began in 26th April 2021 allowed a previous start of Study Coordination activities at CHLO, namely at Hospital de Egas Moniz (HEM) and at Hospital de Santa Cruz (HSC). This scholarship allowed the student to gain competences related to the coordination of clinical studies in a hospital setting, previously the beginning of the internship, and therefore allowed her to perform several tasks in an independent manner.The curricular internship, as well as its report, allowed the consolidation of all knowledge and competences acquired in the area of Clinical Research Management.
