This training report describes the knowledge and experience gained during the curricular internship at the Medical Affairs unit of the Research Department of Bluepharma Indústria S.A.. The main activities addressed are related with the conduction of phase I clinical trials by a sponsor, namely bioequivalence clinical trials. In this context, is described the main applicable regulations, the management process of a clinical trial and a reflection about the main challenges in the field. Furthermore, are outlined the activities related with the management of Research, Development and Innovation projects, particularly the analysis of ideas of new pharmaceutical products, where I contribute with several researches. This first contact with the pharmaceutical industry allowed me to integrate the knowledge and skills gained in the Pharmaceutical Sciences degree with those gained in the master’s course of pharmaceutical medicine, fulfilling one of the main objectives that I define for myself: the growth and acquisition of skills, coupled with the access to a different professional reality.
