Thirty years after its unique
foundation by Ponce’s community
action and resolve, Ponce School of
Medicine has gained extraordinary
recognition and prestige in Puerto
Rico and abroad for its
educational, service and research
achievements. It now holds
nationally
accredited graduate programs in the
disciplines of Medicine, Clinical Psychology, and Biomedical Sciences, and a Masters Degree in Public Health. Here health professionals of the highest quality are formed, capable of competing for appointments in the nation’s best residency training programs, postdoctoral positions and prestigious jobs, and with the strong scientific knowledge, competent skills, dedication and sensitivity to contribute positively to their community and their nation. The educational programs have been strengthened by the opportunities that emerge from our service mission as provider of medical and mental health services in our community and our region. Ponce School of Medicine is also distinguished by its strong support of graduate medical education through several consortia agreements in south eastern Puerto Rico, placing us in an advanced position to implement current public policy regarding regional academic medical centers. In addition, our strong achievements in research, excellence in scholarly productivity, and the expansion of our federal and private funding sources assure an enhanced contribution of high quality and relevant research for the future. We welcome applicants to our programs and pledge to provide them with extraordinary opportunities for personal and professional growth within our campus and our community.
