Umecit – University in Panama

Symposium: Research at UMECIT, contributions from the field of psychology

The Research, Innovation and Postgraduate Department, the Research and Innovation Center and the Coordination of the General Psychology major invite all students and teachers of the General Psychology major to participate in this important symposium, which will aim to socialize the results, contributions and analysis from institutional research linked to the field of Psychology.

This activity is of special importance, taking into account that the investigative processes enrich the teaching work and professional training in the field of psychology, also becoming updating scenarios.

There are various problems that currently require the intervention of health professionals, specifically psychologists. Therefore, this symposium will be an opportunity to assess existing experiences, opportunities and needs, from which it is possible to intervene and offer alternatives within the framework of the academy, in order to fulfill our commitment to generate social impact from research.
