San Roque University Hospitals hosted thirty-five second-year students of the Degree in Medicine from the Fernando Pessoa University of the Canary Islands for two weeks, as part of a supervised clinical practice program that reinforces the commitment of both institutions to quality medical training.
These internships are part of the General Pathology I and General Surgical Pathology courses and allow students to gain real-life clinical experience in high-level hospital settings, accompanied by healthcare professionals with extensive teaching and care experience.
"We are proud to contribute to the training of future doctors, offering them a practical, humane, and rigorous perspective on medicine from the earliest stages of their careers," emphasizes the HUSR Management.
"It is a true honor that our first medical students are beginning a phase at San Roque University Hospitals, a phase where what they learned in class comes alive, and their vocation is strengthened to provide care with passion and excellence," emphasizes the UFPC.
This program consolidates the role of both institutions as a benchmark in the teaching and practice of private healthcare in the Canary Islands. San Roque University Hospitals was the first private hospital in the Canary Islands to obtain "university" accreditation from the Fernando Pessoa University of the Canary Islands, a distinction that reflects its strong commitment to research, teaching, and excellence in healthcare.
With these initiatives, Fernando Pessoa University of the Canary Islands and San Roque University Hospitals are strengthening their collaboration to advance a model that connects the classroom with clinical and hospital reality, promoting comprehensive, practical, and patient-centered training of excellence.
