The doctoral program in Medicines and Health was created in association with the postgraduate program Programme of the same name, structured by agreement with Royal Decree 56/2005 (BOE of 25 January 2005), which obtained the approval of the General Directorate of Universities of the Ministry of Education and Science to be offered as an Official Programme of postgraduate program for the 2006-2007 academic year (BOE of 3 July 2006).
The academic background of this Programme of postgraduate program and, therefore, of the doctoral program in "Medicines and Health" is based on the previous existence of two previous Programmes of doctorate, "Biopharmacy, Pharmacology and Quality of Medicines" and "design, Synthesis and assessment Biological Synthesis of Medicines", which support and guarantee their excellence since both obtained, and maintained without interruption, the accredited specialization of quality granted by the Ministry of Education and Science (Ref. MCD2004-00352 and Ref. MCD2005-00211, respectively).
The doctoral program in "design, Synthesis and Biological assessment of Medicines" has its origins in 1968 when the first university course in Chemistry was given at the University of Navarra. It is, therefore, the oldest programme in the country at specialization program. For its part, the doctoral program in "Biopharmacology, Pharmacology and Drug Quality" began to be taught at the University of Navarra in the academic year 1986-87 under the academic responsibility and supervision of the department of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Technology.
These two programs of doctorate gave rise to two masters, which were verified at the time, and are called Master's Degree University in design Galenic and Biopharmacy and Master's Degree University in research, development and Innovation of Medicines that by their research orientation constitute (while they are taught) a suitable training to access the doctoral program in Medicines and Health.
Teachers from the following Departments, Units and Services of the University of Navarra participate in development :
- department of Pharmaceutical Sciences
- Pharmacy Service. Clínica Universidad de Navarra (CUN)
- Clinical Research Unit. Clínica Universidad de Navarra (CUN)
Occasionally, depending on the project of doctoral dissertation, professors and researchers from other Departments of the Science area of the University of Navarra, from other Departments and Units of the Clínica Universidad de Navarra and from the Centre for Research in Applied Medicine (CIMA) may participate in the development of the Programme, mainly in the co-direction of doctoral theses.
Likewise, professors and doctors from other national and foreign institutions can participate in the Program, as in fact they have been doing, either in the co-direction of doctoral thesis , teaching seminars, actions of mobility (both of doctoral students and of the professors themselves), participation in tribunals of thesis convened to obtain the accredited specialization International in the degree scroll of Doctor, etc.
