Regarding this recognition, the dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences of the Simón Bolívar University, José Rafael Consuegra Machado, highlighted the achievement of the Medicine program by receiving such important recognition “with quality standards at the level of teaching, research, centers of practices and updating of the curriculum. It is the natural consequence of the effort that the university has made to offer a prestigious and high quality program in all its areas”.
Consuegra Machado added that “this commits us much more to continue developing our activities with high quality standards. Hard work is being done to train and accredit professors in simulated medical training according to international standards and in the future, we hope to have a simulated clinic ready for all the programs of the Faculty of Health Sciences, in view of the world trend in the matter” .
The dean congratulated the director of the accredited program, Ricardo Escobar Gaviria, and the entire team that achieved this achievement, including students, professors, researchers, and also graduates.
The first qualified record of the program was obtained through Resolution 2537 of May 30, 2006, starting classes in the second period of the same year. The first cohort of the Medicine program graduated in July 2012, registering to date 1,271 graduate students in 22 graduate cohorts.
More than 10 research groups categorized by MinCiencias, participation in intersectoral work groups, inter and multidisciplinary work in extension and social projection that aims to promote the development of communities, are part of the benefits offered by the program to the Caribbean region and the country.
