This report concerns my internship experience in the Clinical Neuropharmacology Group of Neurological Clinical Research Unit, where I could work in coordination of clinical trials, and in the Laboratory of Clinical Pharmacology, where I could participate in research projects, mainly as a medical writer. The internship took place from 2 September 2013 to June 2, 2014. The internship is part of the curricular activities of the second year of the Masters in Pharmaceutical Biomedicine, University of Aveiro. This report will address the coordinating activities of clinical trials and observational studies, as well as medical writing activities. During the internship, I had the opportunity to put into practice the knowledge acquired during the Masters, and deepen my knowledge of the coordination activities of clinical and observational trials. I also had the opportunity to observe, all the logistical difficulties inherent to clinical trials. In scientific writing component, I was able to improve my scientific writing skills, to know how to develop a systematic review and understand some of the concepts of meta-analyses. In conclusion, the internship allowed me to put into practice the knowledge acquired in the University, and served as an extremely valuable learning source.
