Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia - UCC
speciality: Biological Sciences

Studying medicine at the Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia has been a very meaningful experience for me. From the first semester, I felt like I was not only being trained as a future doctor, but also as a human being committed to communities. The UCC has a very strong social focus, and I love that because it’s not just about learning in a classroom, but about understanding the reality of the country and how we can contribute through our profession.

The classes are demanding, but the instructors are very friendly and always willing to help. The curriculum is comprehensive, and from the first semesters we have contact with patients, which makes the training much more practical and realistic. I also like that we have the opportunity to rotate through different healthcare institutions, which broadens our understanding of the system.
