In the ever-changing area of health, researchers are indispensable to assure the development of innovative and modern clinical approaches to understand different pathologies. San Juan Bautista School of Medicine has a solid compromise with our community in finding answers to very challenging questions that threaten our health and well being everyday.

Our main effort is being directed towards the development of relevant proposals in behavioral and biomedical areas. As a result, we established a research team that is working in areas such as, Bronchial Asthma, Alzheimer’s disease, Cancer, HIV, Obesity, Seizures, and STD infections. Affiliations with other high learning institutions are being established to reinforce our research infrastructure and extend collaborations with our researchers.

 

The Deanship of Research is also committed to our medical students. Our curriculum has been designed in a way that each student will get acquainted with different approaches to clinical research since day one. Basic sciences, clinical sciences and clinical research are integrated as a whole, granting the most comprehensive physician training that characterizes our institution.

 

We look forward in encouraging future medical students be part of our academic research program and establish collaborations with excellent researchers.

 

 

 

 

Sincerely,
