Faculty of Medicine

At the School of Medicine, we train future doctors through a comprehensive program that combines rigour and technical rigour with a solid foundation in ethics and the humanities. Our goal is to educate professionals capable of addressing health issues from a broad, patient-centered perspective, taking into account their biological, psychological, and social dimensions.

To achieve this, we utilize innovative resources such as early clinical immersion, high-fidelity simulation, online supervision of clinical rotations, and personalized support. In addition, we have an extensive network of hospitals and healthcare centers, both domestic and international, that enrich our students’ learning experience.

The Health Research and Consulting Unit (UCIS) was established in 2015 with the aim of strengthening and supporting the School of Health Sciences at Francisco de Vitoria University.

This is a versatile, professional, and multifaceted department that carries out activities aimed at improving Spanish medicine and fostering the professional and personal development of practicing specialists as well as future doctors and nurses, always with the patient in mind.

The creation of new scientific knowledge, the development of initiatives aimed at achieving medical excellence, the promotion of innovation, and the fostering of partnerships with strategic partners are among the objectives of this Unit.

The UFV Simulated programme (PP S -UFV ) uses carefully trained individuals to portray real patients, allowing students to develop clinical, communication, and decision-making skills in a safe and effective manner. Active since 2012 at the Advanced Clinical Simulation Center, the programme both undergraduate and graduate students and spans various professional fields.

The PP S-UFV oversees the training, selection, and preparation of simulated patients, ensuring the quality of teaching, clinical care, and research activities. It adheres to the international standards of the Society for Health Simulation (SSH) and the Association of Simulated Patient Educators (A SPE).

Training offered:

• Training with simulated patients

• Debriefing techniques

• Assessment using simulated patients

The School of Medicine promotes research as a driving force for progress in science and clinical practice. Through its Research Support Unit, it provides guidance to faculty members, healthcare professionals, and students throughout all phases of their projects:

• Design of study protocols

• Statistical analysis and data interpretation

• Writing scientific articles

• Cochrane systematic reviews

• Preparation of conference papers

• Contact with Stable Research Groups

• Customized training in research

In partnership with Ramón y Cajal Hospital, this affiliated center produces and disseminates rigorous scientific evidence to support health-related decision-making, establishing itself as an international leader in reliable and accessible health information.
