Degree in Medicine
The degree program has the necessary coordination structures at its various levels to ensure its proper organization and development. To articulate horizontal and vertical coordination at the degree level, the following are in place:
- Degree Coordinator (Head of Studies)
- Course Coordinator
- Subject Coordinator
- Internship/Rotation Coordinator
These structures are integrated into the corresponding committees of the center/section/degree, which establish the operating mechanisms through periodic meetings to analyze the development of the degree at its different levels (degree, course, and subject).
Through horizontal and vertical coordination, the following are guaranteed: the proper sequencing and scheduling of subjects, their content, and assessment system; gaps, duplications, and mismatches are avoided; and the student workload is adequately distributed to facilitate the acquisition of learning outcomes.
The Center's Management Team is responsible for Teaching Coordination. Its functions, as outlined in the Faculty's SGIC and the Audit Report, are:
- Preparation of the proposal for theory and practice groups by subject and assignment of classrooms/laboratories
- Preparation of a proposed class schedule and exam dates
