BA/BS in Medicina

Medicine at the University of Chile is an undergraduate programme offered through the Facultad de Medicina. It combines clinical medical training based at the Faculty of Medicine campus in Independencia, Santiago. Graduates receive the academic degree of Licentiate in Medicine and, where the title is conferred, the professional title of Physician-Surgeon. Study is organised on a daytime schedule. The curriculum runs for 14 semesters. Students progress through a plan of formation that the faculty may revise as part of its continuous improvement of the career, and the page links the official decrees, graduate profile and contact details of the responsible school, along with a summary of the professional profile expected of graduates and the regulations that govern practice periods. Entry is through the national university admission system [PAES], where applications are scored from secondary-school grades, class ranking and the standardised tests listed for the programme, with additional special admission routes for some places.
