Doctors established in our University are the best witnesses of our Medical School, which has its main strength the close cooperation with the Italian university system. Our university benefits from centuries of experience and activity of the Congregation "Sons of Mary Immaculate" in the field of Health, which provides internship access to students in Italy at all the hospital institutions it owns.
