UNIBE School of Medicine

Now that I have started college, I am on the path to getting a career. I have always wanted to be in the science field, and that is what I am working on right now as I go through these years of my college education. My interest and passion for science came mostly from my dad. He is a General Dentist. He got his degree and license for dentistry both in our country, the Dominican Republic, and in the United States. In the United States, he went to NYU, or New York Univeristy. In the Dominican Republic, he went to UNIBE.

I want to write a little bit about this university because not many people know about this school, or any schools that are located in the Dominican Republic.

UNIBE, which stands for Universidad Iberoamericana, was founded in 1982. It is a private school of medicine located in Santo Domingo, the capitol of the Dominican Republic. This university offers 15 careers: Advertising, Architecture, Interior Design, Business Administration, Dentistry, Early Childhood Education, Industrial Engineering, Civil Engineering, IT Engineering, Law, Marketing, Medicine, Psychology, Religion, and Tourism and Hotel Management. Although it is not where I was interested in going, it is in fact a very good school.

This school of medicine consists of five years and four months of study. The first through fourth semesters are for pre-med, while the fifth through the tenth semesters are focused on the basics of science. The 11th through 13th semesters are focused on pre-internships in the areas of Internal Medicine, Surgery, Psychiatry, Pediatrics, and Obstetrics Gynecology. In the last three semesters, official rotations are done in the same areas listed above including Community Medicine and Emergency Medicine and Trauma. As you can see, this university is not playing any games, and neither are hispanics.
