Universitat de Girona Facultat de Medicina

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.

Clinical Pillar: Healthcare Network

Clinical training is integrated with the Catalan Health Service (CatSalut), primarily through the leading hospital in the province:

• Hospital Universitari de Girona Doctor Josep Trueta: The main teaching hospital, a high-complexity center and the reference point for the Girona health region.

• Hospital de Santa Caterina (Salt): A key secondary teaching hospital located in the nearby medical park.

Primary Care Centers (CAP): Students rotate through a vast network of urban and rural health centers to understand community medicine and long-term patient care.

Tuition Fees and Costs (Estimated 2025)

As a public university in Catalonia, fees are set by the regional government (Generalitat).
