Promoted by the BIAL Foundation, the Prémio BIAL de Medicina Clínica was created in 1984 with the aim of recognizing an intellectual, original work on any freely chosen medical topic on clinical practice, with results of high quality and relevance.
In the 20th edition of the Award, the jury is once again chaired by pathologist Manuel Sobrinho Simões and includes professors from faculties and schools of medicine in Portugal.
