Chile

About the program

The medical school, which is viewed as the top school in the country, has established relationships with other institutions in South America as well as worldwide, and is currently part of an international seven school educational consortium directed by the ECFMG. The medical students have a gradually increasing clinical experience and the final two years are referred to as internship and resemble the clinical rotations during the latter years at Yale School of Medicine.

Program details

Participants will work in teams that include interns (6th and 7th year students) from PUC as attending physicians, in a manner similar to that in the US. Many of the senior leaders in the school received some of their medical education outside of Chile, collaborate with colleagues in the US, are quite attuned to the educational curriculum for students in the US, and have fostered relationships with other institutions.

Requirements

Students must speak Spanish on an intermediate-advanced level or higher, language assessment required. Clinical rotations at PUC are 4 weeks long.
