General Information

The Faculty of Medicine at the Universitat de Girona (UdG) is a modern and highly regarded institution in Catalonia, known primarily for its innovative pedagogical model. Unlike traditional lecture-heavy programs, UdG was a pioneer in Spain for fully implementing Problem-Based Learning (PBL), focusing on clinical reasoning and student autonomy from the first year.

The faculty is located at the Girona Centre Campus (Emili Grahit), placing it in the urban heart of the city, close to major healthcare centers.

Pedagogical Innovation: The PBL Model

The UdG medical program is built around the Problem-Based Learning methodology.

Small Groups: Students work in groups of 10–12 with a tutor.
Clinical Cases: Learning is triggered by real-world clinical scenarios rather than isolated subject lectures.
Early Clinical Exposure: Students begin interacting with the healthcare environment and practicing clinical skills much earlier than in traditional programs.

Campus Facilities

Campus & Scientific Infrastructure

The Girona Centre Campus provides a specialized environment for health sciences.

Clinical Skills Center (CHC): A high-tech simulation hub on the first floor of the faculty. It includes:

Simulated Consultation Rooms: For practicing doctor-patient communication.
High-Fidelity Mannequins: Life-like robotic adults, children, and babies that react physiologically to treatments.
Specialized Phantoms: For practicing specific maneuvers like resuscitation, infiltrations, or gynecological exams.

Research Integration: Closely linked to the Girona Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBGI), allowing students to participate in high-level research in fields like neuroscience, cardiovascular health, and metabolism.

Early clinical training at UdG often begins with mastering cardiovascular systems using both simulators and clinical cases.

Hospital & Medical Facilities
