In July 1996, the School of Medicine opened its doors and since its foundation it has redefined medical education by integrating the best of tradition, strategic innovation and research into its curriculum. This guarantees the student a comprehensive and high-level academic training, as well as the necessary tools to provide quality care to patients.

The semester curriculum is reviewed and updated every five years to keep pace with the continuous advances in medicine. Its main features are:

• Updating the thematic content of the subjects.
• Appropriate sequencing of subjects for the learning process.
• Emphasis on the development of self-learning skills.
• Development of medical skills with high technical efficiency and a focus on patient safety.
• Evidence-based medicine for decision-making.
• Integration of basic and clinical sciences from the first semester, through the Integration Seminars course.
• High quality electives.
• Bioethics.
• Health services administration courses.
• Medical English.
• Development of research projects during the degree course.
• Practice in learning scenarios with graded clinical challenges in the Simulation Center.
• Clinic.

The generation of new medical knowledge is fundamental. For this reason, the syllabus provides for our students to develop, over three semesters, a research protocol under the guidance of an experienced researcher, whether in basic, clinical or epidemiological research.

The School of Medicine's academic program is again accredited for the period 2018-2023 by the Mexican Council for the Accreditation of Medical Education (COMAEM).
