About us

The School of Medicine trains healthcare professionals with academic excellence across the various disciplines of biomedical sciences.

Facultad de Medicina

Since its founding, the School of Medicine has recognized clinical practice as essential —primarily conducted at the University Hospital “Dr. José Eleuterio González”— for the education of its students. This setting allows students to learn diagnostic and therapeutic procedures performed by professors during patient care.

Currently, the curriculum of the Bachelor in Medicine program is competency-based and focused on learning processes where students develop the necessary skills to meet the health needs of a constantly evolving reality. This is all framed within a solid foundation of ethical, humanitarian values and scientific research.
