University Of Guanajuato

by Tara Peris

The University of Guanajuato is Mexico's premier facility for medical training. For native students, the university provides first-rate instruction in cutting edge health care practices. For those from abroad, it provides valuable immersion in medical Spanish and the intricacies of the Mexican health care system.

A World Class Education

The city of Guanajuato is revered widely as one of Mexico's most important historical sites. Home to the famed Chichimeca tribe, the city was subsequently a place of gold mining for Spanish explorers. For a brief time, Guanajuato was the capital of Mexico and the center of political, cultural, and educational life. Indeed, the University of Guanajuato is among the oldest and most highly regarded in the country.

This rich legacy continues in the form of advanced graduate training. Once a small state college, the school became the University of Guanajuato in 1945. It is now a world-class training facility for international students from around the globe. Among its many fine programs, its medical training opportunities remain by far, the most popular.

Each year, a growing number of international students flock to the University of Guanajuato for instruction in medical Spanish. Offering one of the country's oldest and most well developed programs, the university is a rich resource for those who wish to gain experience working with diverse populations. Moreover, with ties to many U.S. medical schools, it is easy to coordinate course work to complement and enhance existing med school training experiences.
