THE SCHOOL
History
A history of over 300 years By: Juan Nicolás Peña Sánchez Colegio Mayor del Rosario Faculty of Medicine Graduate, UR The interest in starting to train physicians in New Granada arose due to the difficult situation in the seventeenth century. The only people who had any medical knowledge were the officers or soldiers with warfare experience. Thus, in 1764 with the graduation of the first student, Colegio Mayor de Nuestra Señora del Rosario became the first medical school in Colombia.
José Celestino Mutis was also part of the development of this faculty with the creation of a 'medical curriculum'. Due to the serious difficulties the country faced at the beginning of the 19th century, the Faculty was forced to close its doors until 1965 when the Sociedad de Cirugía de Bogotá (Bogota Surgery Society) resumed its activities.
Thus, a five-year semester system was implemented, where importance would be placed on both new and old subjects. The first class graduated in 1970. Since then, Universidad del Rosario's School of Medicine and Health Sciences has established itself as one of the most prestigious at the national and international level. Thus, at the Quinta de Mutis campus, the Institute of Basic Sciences and the Rehabilitation and Human Development programs can be found.
The School of Medicine and Health Sciences
Having a School of Medicine and Health Sciences is a dream of the University that dates back to 1996 when the first proposal was made. A school is a space where different fields of knowledge converge and interact with an interdisciplinary approach, enhancing its own development, research progress, and the advancement of science.
Health, today, is a multidimensional and truly interdisciplinary concept. We understand it as a process of unstable individual and collective equilibrium, a dynamic product of biological, psychological, social, environmental, and lifestyle determinants, subject to a variable cultural understanding within a specific social context.
It is a good and a right. What is the School of Medicine and Health Sciences? It is the integration of six academic programs focused on the study of health, with a multidimensional and interdisciplinary vision. Its challenge is to become an outstanding setting for education, research, outreach, and the practice of medicine and health sciences in Colombia. This integration is achieved through the development of generic competencies in communication, mathematical thinking, science fundamentals, clinical disciplinary skills, and the core of Rosarista training.
The recently established placement sites (Méderi University Hospital Network) offer opportunities for all programs. As a network, they allow students to gain experience in the reality of the health-disease process at all stages of health care: prevention and promotion (community), and basic and high-complexity hospital care, as required by law and the current circumstances. This consolidation has been achieved following the recommendations of the accreditation processes, and recently, of the evaluation of the European University Association. It aligns with the University's 2019 Integral Development Plan (IDP) on the following points.
Pedagogical and curricular renewal
Expanding academic horizons
Research consolidation
Outreach redesign
Strengthening postgraduate programs
Educational integration
Internationalization
Updating the organizational management model
Promoting ICT
Health Sciences Education (CECS)
Responsibilities
The Center for Health Sciences Education (CECS) is part of the Deanship of the School of Medicine and Health Sciences. It was created to support curricular reforms and manage some of the educational processes in the School.
Our objectives are:
Through management, to support the planning, design, and coordination of the educational process at the School of Medicine and Health Sciences by assessing the needs of both the environment and individuals. This involves ensuring the achievement of learning outcomes, employing effective educational strategies, implementing resources, and conducting individual and program evaluations that facilitate curricular development. These actions are carried out in accordance with the university's established policies, standards, and procedures to promote education in Medicine and Health Sciences with the highest national and international quality standards, aiming to be recognized as such.
The management also plans, executes, and coordinates the development of the Integrated Learning Activities by Systems (AIAS) in accordance with the guidelines of the Dean's Office, the CECS Management, the Medicine program management, and university procedures. This aims to guarantee the suitable development of the curriculum for the Medicine program and the achievement of the Expected Learning Outcomes (ELOs).
A team of professors coordinates and executes the pedagogical processes of teaching and collaborative learning in small group classes. This is within the subjects pertaining to the Integrated Learning Activities by Systems (AIAS).
Some professor-facilitators are also responsible for coordinating the AIAS. This role includes monitoring the AIAS evaluations of the School of Medicine and Health Sciences Medicine program in accordance with guidelines from the dean's office, CECS management, and the university’s policies and procedures in order to assess students' achievement of the Expected Learning Outcomes (ELOs).
The Mentoring program coordinator is responsible for the coordination and monitoring of the pedagogical activities between Medicine Program mentors and mentees.
The coordinator of the New Trivium academic unit is responsible for the coordination and monitoring of communication and writing activities for medical students. This is done according to the guidelines of the CECS Directorate and the policies and procedures established by the University in order to ensure the achievement of the Expected Learning Outcomes (ELOs) related to students' cognitive, linguistic, and logical thinking skills.
Research Community
Our research community aims to design, implement, and execute research projects that meet the educational needs of the different academic programs of the School of Medicine and Health Sciences. This is based on agreements with the Deanship, Program Management, and the University guidelines.

Perspectiva
El Doctor Gustavo Adolfo Quintero resalta que la educación en salud clama por profundos cambios en la forma como se enseña y como se aprende; cambios que produzcan bienestar en la sociedad; que donde quiera que uno de nuestros egresados practique sea reconocido como un líder capaz de introducir las trasformaciones necesarias en un mundo inestable, en el cual las enfermedades previamente controladas resurgen y aparecen nuevas y más complejas, el envejecimiento de la población aumenta a pasos agigantados, los sistemas de salud enfrentan problemas de cobertura, hay un aumento también de las enfermedades crónicas y de alto costo y la salud de las poblaciones consume gran parte de nuestro producto interno bruto”.
