Official English name not verified on the site; "Latin American School of Medicine" is the common translation. The site lists a premedical directorate and the medical career curriculum (plan temático de la carrera de medicina). Status evidence is current institutional activity (October 2026 workshop on intercultural medical education); a 2026-27 intake notice was not found.

Only primary medical qualifications — the degree that leads to the physician pathway — are listed in the directory. The exact official wording is shown.

Classroom, clinical and patient-interaction languages can differ. We record a language only when an official source states it.

WorldMedicalSchools.com does not accredit or approve schools and is not affiliated with WDOMS, WFME, ECFMG, WHO or any regulator. A missing record means we have not verified it, not that it does not exist.
