Mission

The Mission of the School of Medicine is to develop competent physicians with an outstanding academic preparation within a humanistic and holistic framework, with a highly developed commitment to social duties, and service to Puerto Rico and Hispanic communities throughout the U.S. mainland.

The UCC School of Medicine is committed to providing our students with integrated knowledge from the basic sciences to medicine and with disciplined critical thinking and analysis. We encourage a dedication to lifelong learning as well as attitudes of compassion and respect for human dignity.

The School of Medicine contributes to the enrichment and enhancement of knowledge by strengthening a creative environment that fosters the development of research in the biomedical, clinical, and psychosocial sciences oriented to the health needs of our community.

Within the scope of its mission, the School of Medicine offers quality health services at the primary care level and in specialized curative rehabilitative services in a cost-effective and accessible manner to the population that it serves.
