Universidade Estadual Paulista 'Júlio de Mesquita Filho' (UNESP) Faculdade de Medicina

Listed among the three largest and most important Brazilian universities, UNESP stands out as an example of a multicampus institution. It is formed by a structure of 34 units in 24 cities in the state of São Paulo. To have an idea of its regional distribution, if a circle with a radius of 100 kilometers is drawn around each of these 24 cities, it will cover almost the whole map of the state. As one of three public universities maintained by the government of the state of São Paulo, UNESP offers quality education for over 55 thousand students (undergraduate and graduate) in 63 professional careers and over 150 graduate programs in all fields of knowledge. UNESP also develops a strong policy of stimulating research, which has placed the institution among the top scientific institutions in the country. Investments and a strategic plan for internationalization have helped UNESP to be recognized as a reliable partner among the scientific community. Meanwhile, UNESP interacts with society through the provision of services and extension projects for the community that collaborates for the formation and better understanding of students of the real problems of Brazilian society.
