The State of Florida Ratifies License from UNIBE Medical School
Florida, United States 11/19/2013

The Department of Education in the State of Florida, for the fourth consecutive year, ratified recognition of the license from the School of Medicine at the Iberoamerican University (UNIBE). Recognition was obtained for the first time in 2009.

The accreditation process entails a rigorous evaluation in which the Florida Board of Education must examine and verify the standards required to qualify for the license.

The license, which is issued by the Florida Board of Medicine, recognizes the UNIBE’s School of Medicine as having the level and standards sufficient enough for its medical students to continue their medical rotation and training at accredited health centers in the State of Florida.

Julio Amado Castaños Guzmán, rector of UNIBE, expressed how this ratification is the product of the academic excellence and high standards of education of UNIBE’s Medical School, as well as the role his students and graduates play in the hospitals of Florida.

He expressed how the Florida License is a great opportunity for students at UNIBE, because it allows them to complete clinical shifts at certain hospitals, which would not be possible without the endorsement and certification of quality from the Florida Board of Education.

UNIBE is the only university in the Dominican Republic with this license, which shows its commitment to excellence and to maintaining standards of the highest quality internationally.
