In its academic activities, the FCB promotes an ethical vision of respect for human life and for all people.
To achieve these objectives, the Faculty of Biomedical Sciences has:
- PhD in Biomedical Sciences

In addition, it has an Institute for Translational Medicine Research , a Clinical Research Unit , an Institutional Evaluation Committee , a Department of Bioethics , a Department of Biomedical Education , and a Center for Interdisciplinary Studies in Management and Economics of the

What is the profile of our graduate?
At the Faculty of Biomedical Sciences, we aim to train competent, highly competitive professionals with a deep sense of humanity.
To achieve these goals we have a
personalized teaching, with an appropriate and close teacher-student relationship. Likewise,
our system of academic advising It makes possible the permanent interaction of students with their professors and with other more advanced students in their own program.
In teaching the following applies:
- An modern methodology based on the realization of activities and the use of multiple strategies.
- Through one
intense activity supervised practice, we ensure that students acquire the skills necessary for professional life. - The fact that they attend the hospitals, from the first year of the degree, makes them aware of the problems of patients, bringing them closer to the reality they will encounter in their professional lives.
The courses have a humanistic axis tending to give Anthropological training,
Theological, Ethics and Bioethics that allow them
understand the patient in a comprehensive and transcendent way.
In teaching the corresponding subjects, special emphasis is placed on interpersonal relationships, both within and outside the Faculty, and on practical aspects of the biomedical profession, such as those related to the teacher-student, doctor/nurse/psychologist/nutritionist-patient, and student-patient relationships. Efforts are also made to instill in students an ethical and moral compass grounded in human and Christian values, within a framework of freedom.
This work is made possible by the selection of a faculty committed to the institutional mission of our University, comprised of professionals with a high academic standing and a solid humanistic background.
Our medical graduates are characterized by their strong academic foundation and high competitiveness at both the local and international levels (with a very high percentage of graduates entering residency programs), a deep humanistic education, a thorough understanding of current biomedical research fields, and extensive experience interacting with patients, families, and the community. Many have had the opportunity to teach and conduct research, as well as complete international internships at leading institutions.
