The School of Medicine of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile opened its classrooms on May 1, 1930, offering its inaugural class to the first generation of future doctors. Since then, it has attained the highest standards in the training of physicians and specialists in Chile and Latin America.
As well as offering a deep immersion into the Chilean Spanish language, Chile has a great variety of options to complement the academic activities of international visitors. Its varied geography provides you with the opportunity to see the world’s driest desert to millennia forests and glaciers. The spectacular landscapes have led to a diversity of adventure tourism options and the cities provide a grand variety of cultural experiences in both the cities and towns.
Chile has a mixed healthcare system where every legally working person contributes 7 % of their income to health insurance monthly.
