The present internship report aims to describe, in detail, my curricular training of ten months at the Unidade de Farmacologia Clínica of the Instituto de Medicina Molecular. This training is part of the curricular activities of the second year of the Masters in Pharmaceutical Biomedicine of the University of Aveiro. The main focus of this curricular training was the coordination of clinical trials, in the area of neurology, in a clinical research centre. However, this was a very rich and diversified training and therefore, I also had the opportunity of develop activities in other areas of the drug sector, namely pharmacovigilance, medical writing, data management and monitoring. This training represented my first contact with the working world and enabled the establishment of a bridge between the academic world and the working world. It allowed me to put in practice the knowledge acquired during the University, to understand how various areas of the drug sector work in the practice, to complement my theoretical knowledge and to improve my soft skills.
