Ponce School of Medicine
is located in Ponce, the second largest urban center in Puerto
Rico, which is located in the southern coast of the island, 100
kilometers from San Juan. The city was founded in 1692 and was
named after Juan Ponce de Leon, the first Governor of Puerto
Rico.
In January 1980 a group of dynamic leaders of the Ponce
community established the Ponce School of Medicine Foundation,
Inc. under the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, to
operate Ponce School of Medicine. The School is accredited by
the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME), the Council
on Higher Education (CHE), the Middle States Commission on
Higher Education (MSCHE) and the American Psychological
Association (APA), among others.
The Admission Office is responsible for selecting the candidates
for admission to the existing programs. It receives the
applications, arranges interviews and convenes the Admissions
Committee for making decisions on student selection.
