Discovery sources

Limitations: Backbone is the SNIES programs dataset on datos.gov.co (last updated 2025-01-14), one record per active institution-and-municipality medicine program. Medicine programs registered after January 2025 are not in that snapshot; two were found on university sites (Universidad del Atlántico, Universidad de la Costa) but others may exist. The live SNIES portal could not be queried. Status 'operating' rests on the program being Activo in that dataset. Program websites, languages and international admissions were not researched; English names are translations.
