JUAN PABLO ROMERO

RECIPIENT OF THE TOP DOCTOR AWARD. UFV PROFESSOR

“At UFV, we learn about the human side of our profession, and this is especially evident during our internships. In hospitals, patients are often treated coldly, as just another number, but I learned to approach them and speak with respect and empathy. Those values from UFV have taught me to become a better professional and a more compassionate doctor.”

JOSÉ MARÍA DE FRANCISCO

FIRST PLACE IN THE REGION OF MADRID ON THE MIR [MEDICAL BOARD EXAMINATION] AND 6TH PLACE IN SPAIN

“UFV trains physicians to have a deeply human perspective. It teaches you to understand that the patient is not just a set of symptoms to be resolved, but a person who needs your support. As a physician, you walk alongside them, guiding them through a process that is often difficult, just as the university supported you during your own training. This approach to medicine not only helps the patient; it also transforms you as a person.”

JAIME ZABALA

RESIDENT MEDICAL INTERN IN GENERAL SURGERY

“My experience at UFV was incredible. Before that, I was studying nursing in a very hostile hospital environment, and I longed to study in a more open and compassionate setting. When I was accepted at Universidade Francisco de Vitoria, I felt it was a true gift; I even remember crying with joy when I found out I would be able to study there.”
