Campus & Scientific Infrastructure

The faculty is centrally located, acting as the anchor for the city's academic medical district.

• Specialized Facilities: * Anatomical Museum: One of the most significant collections in Europe, serving as a critical resource for morphological training.

• IBGM (Institute of Biology and Molecular Genetics): A world-class research facility integrated with the faculty, focusing on cell therapy, immunology, and genetics.

• Clinical Simulation Center: A dedicated space where students master surgical techniques and emergency protocols using high-fidelity simulators before hospital entry.

• Modern Laboratories: Includes advanced units for physiology, biochemistry, and a renowned dissection hall that remains a fundamental part of the UVa medical experience.

The Clinical Pillar: Teaching Hospitals

UVa is supported by a robust public healthcare network, providing students with exposure to diverse patient populations and high-complexity cases.

• Hospital Clínico Universitario de Valladolid: Located within walking distance of the faculty, it is the primary referral center for the region and the heart of student clinical rotations.

• Hospital Universitario Río Hortega: A high-tech facility that complements the Clinical Hospital, offering rotations in advanced surgical and diagnostic departments.

• Community Medicine: Students also rotate through primary care centers in Valladolid, gaining a holistic view of the Spanish healthcare system.

Fee Structure and Costs (Estimated 2025)

As a public university, tuition is regulated by the regional government of Castilla y León.

Note: Valladolid is recognized as one of the most cost-effective university cities in Spain, offering a high quality of life with significantly lower rent than Madrid or Barcelona.
