Medicine CEU University Cardenal Herrera

Overview

Learning to be a good doctor requires close contact with top medical professionals from the very first year. That’s why healthcare professionals who work daily in hospitals and health centres dedicate time each week to teaching the students, bringing the reality of the profession into the classroom.

The Medicine programme from CEU Universities is one of the few in Spain advised and supported by the Foundation for Training of the Spanish Medical Association (FFOMC), the official body established by the Spanish Medical Organization (OMC) to enhance medical training. The OMC coordinates all Medical Associations in Spain. As such, they  benefit from the training guidance of the main professional medical body in the country, with the direct involvement of its members through “Medical Professionalism Seminars.”
