- School Information
- "The School of Medicine has contributed to strengthening and expanding the scientific productivity of the UPR, through the development of a broad basic and clinical research program that supported the development of graduate studies in Basic Sciences. Its Faculty not only maintained but also expanded the rich research tradition that it inherited from the School of Tropical Medicine and in the process has enriched and matured the scientific culture on the Island and at the State University. Respectable professional nuclei have been created outside the Metropolitan area; Ponce, Mayagüez, Arecibo, Manatí, Fajardo, Guayama, Caguas, to name a few. In these nuclei is the outstanding participation of our graduates. The School of Medicine has been a crucial element in the enormous and complex task of providing health services to Puerto Ricans. It made a decisive contribution to the previous system of Regionalization of Health Services and is in the process of contributing positively to the new system that the public power has implemented in recent years. Finally, the School of Medicine has represented a point of light, among others, that has allowed this country to shine by its own light during the last fifty years."
