About the School

The Mission of the School of Medicine is: to provide undergraduate, graduate and continued medical education with the goal of training competent and compassionate physicians able to serve the underserved, to develop basic and clinical research scientists who are sensitive to our social and health issues, and to provide high quality clinical services to significantly enhance the health status of Puerto Ricans.

Curriculum

The curriculum as a whole, consists of a series of courses, clinical clerkships and learning experiences programmed sequentially and longitudinally in an integrated manner.
