Our History

The School of Medicine educates health professionals with academic excellence in various disciplines of the biomedical sciences.

Facultad de Medicina

Since its foundation, the School of Medicine has acknowledged the importance of the clinical field, which is mainly obtained through the “Dr. José Eleuterio Gonzalez” University Hospital. Here students have the opportunity to practice the diagnostic and therapeutic procedures that teachers apply to their patients.

Currently, the program of the Degree in Medicine is mainly based on competence-based learning, while it is focused on learning where students develop skills that prepare them to be able to respond to the health needs in the ever-changing environment. The above mentioned goes along with an ethical and humanitarian aspect as well as a solid base in scientific research.
