ProCardio Academic partners
ProCardio collaborates with several academic institues in Norway and abroad.
The Institute of Clinical Medicine at University of Oslo (UiO) educates and do research in all clinical disciplines. The institute is responsible for all practical patient-oriented teaching of medical students and coordinates five out of eight modules at the Professional Study in Medicine. Research is conducted at the institute within all the major disease groups. The research ranges from patient-focused clinical research to molecular biological studies of disease processes and testing of new technological equipment for diagnostics and treatment.
