UCES compensates for its urban campus style by partnering with high-prestige clinical centers across Buenos Aires.

• Affiliated Hospitals: Students rotate through diverse public and private institutions including the Hospital J.M. Ramos Mejía and Hospital Bernardino Rivadavia.
• Primary Care Centers: Training includes rotations in community health centers to master the Atención Primaria (Primary Care) module.
• Hospital de Clínicas (Partnerships): For specific highly specialized clerkships.
• Weekly Practicals: Students start weekly rotations in the first year, progressing to daily rotations by the fourth year.

As a private institution, fees are generally more moderate than top-tier elite schools but include monthly adjustments.

Scholarship

• Academic Merit Scholarships: Discounts for students maintaining a GPA above 8.0/10 after the first year.

• Dining: The university is surrounded by hundreds of affordable "menú del día" cafes. The 3rd floor houses a small student canteen.
