Before you apply: five checks for this college

  1. Confirm the World Directory entry F0000366 yourself at wdoms.org; the entry describes the school as it reported itself, not its recognition anywhere.
  2. Ask the regional medical council (CRM) whether the school is currently recognised and whether its graduates are being registered this year.
  3. Ask your own home regulator, in writing, whether a degree from Universidade de São Paulo Faculdade de Medicina São Paulo (FMSP-USP) is accepted for licensing at home (for Indian students: the NMC requires the whole course, internship included, at the same institution).
  4. Get the fee schedule and admission letter from the school's own office (graduacao@fm.usp.br), not from an agent, and pay only to the school's account.
  5. Search the agent, consultancy or website you are dealing with on the fraud alerts page before paying anything.

What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0000366) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 123 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 4.7★ — read the full text below before deciding.

Verify before you pay anyone

  • Recognition and licensing rules change over time. Re-check the current NMC-eligible colleges list and this country's regulations for Brazil yourself before paying anything.
  • Never pay an agent or "seat reservation" fee in cash, or before you have a signed offer letter directly from the university.
  • A guaranteed admission, a discounted "management quota" seat, or pressure to decide within 24 hours are classic pressure tactics — slow down and verify independently.
  • Confirm the medium of instruction, hostel/food costs, and total multi-year fee in writing from the university itself, not only from an agent's brochure.

💬 Student Reviews

Real reviews from students.

Idalicio Luiz Maia Ribeiro

I always pass by; it's a well-maintained space and the building is imposing. However, the spikes on the wall on Avenida Doutor Arnaldo are literally digging into the trunks of some trees. Couldn't they fix that? It's incompatible with the beautiful garden. That would make it a 5-star visual rating.

CAIQUE BUENO TERHOCH

The best medical school in Latin America and the Southern Hemisphere. There is no doubt about its excellence, not only in teaching, but also in research and patient care – values ??that are cornerstones of any university in the world. And on top of that, it's a high-quality public education!

AU0702

In addition to the Faculty of Medicine, professors, doctors, and students offer courses to the community, such as the Kids Save Lives Brazil Movement, a USP project that teaches young people basic life support practices for individuals experiencing cardiorespiratory arrest.

Azafi Andrade

Huge parking lots that remain closed and underutilized on weekends and holidays. They could be shared with the public on those days to make the city more welcoming. Excellent place to stroll with young children, go for walks, and do other outdoor physical activities.

Renan Leonel

The Faculty of Medicine of the University of São Paulo (FMUSP) is a medical school of the University of São Paulo. It was founded in 1912 under the name Faculty of Medicine and Surgery of São Paulo by Arnaldo Vieira de Carvalho (1867-1920), …

Pal Kunkanen

I'm biased when it comes to FMUSP (Faculty of Medicine of the University of São Paulo) since I work here. We didn't close during the pandemic. We continued with everything we were doing. Research on COVID-19 was intensified, both here and …

TT G

FMUSP is the most coveted medical school in the country for students, and for good reason, as it boasts a complete infrastructure and renowned professors. Doctors who graduate already have status because it has a reputation for being a …

K4 fabrizio (KBRIZIO)

A very beautiful and attractive place from a scientific knowledge standpoint, as well as being quite central and accessible. The main building is listed as a historical landmark by IPHAN (National Institute of Historic and Artistic …

Rasxs Soluções Digitais

Faculty of Medicine of USP (University of São Paulo). Renowned institution for teaching and research. Modern medical library. Building listed as a historical landmark by CONDPHAAT (Council for the Defense of Historical, Artistic, …

Gabriel Liguori

The best medical school in Latin America, and one of the best in the world! Cutting-edge research, practical classes in the largest hospital complex in the country, and professors who are national leaders in their specialties.

POTI HAvrenne

Don't be fooled. FMUSP is a scam: it looks good, but it's garbage! It's the typical representative of that rancid, hypocritical Brazil, solely focused on the elite, which we all want to bury in a splendid cradle forever. …

Luciana Marques

Excellent space for university students. It also has a very productive community garden, a source of knowledge exchange between the university and the community, in addition to hosting markets that promote healthy eating.

Greyce

Great space; it has a library, recreation area, and food for students. There are always events for residents and also for the public.
Not to mention the excellent public preparatory course run by medical students.

João Vitor

I attended USP and didn't like it.

The system is very archaic; professors require undergraduate research for master's programs, even when the candidate's knowledge is sometimes above the required level.

James Vandel

It deserves 5 stars. It is the best in the country and one of the best in the world. There are only two bad things about FMUSP: the elitism of college and the way of some students and teachers.

Acrizio Luiz Almeida

Everything done with great excellence, courses and campus... all that's needed now is for someone to answer the phone, for simple information about visits and schedules... 8^( (3061-7000 ???)

Sarah Cristina Dias Ribeiro

Regarding HCFMUSP:
Starting with the IOT: worst place in the world. My father needed to undergo a surgical procedure and ended up needing the ICU, where there are unprepared …

Marcelo

A very beautiful and wooded place. Located on Av. Dr. Arnaldo and close to Hospital das Clínicas, ICESP, Instituto Adolfo Lutz, InCor, Instituto da Criança, among others. …

Wilson Teodoro da silva

The USP Forensic Medical Institute (IML) is located here, but it offers terrible service to the bereaved and there is significant exploitation regarding funeral services.

Luciana Vieira

It's a good place to visit, it has an interesting museum... beautiful landscaping... if you're lucky you might even see a little monkey walking through the trees...

Jaime Costa

The building, dating from 1931, is worth a visit in itself. It has an excellent library, open even to non-students (for on-site consultation only).

Thiago Britto

Wonderful place!! Very good structure, staff who welcome and guide us very well, and one of the most beautiful and largest colleges I've ever seen.

Camile Alba Pereira

I love this place! I spent 4 years doing my master's degree with Dr. Irene, Lim 29...it's where I have incredible friends and wonderful memories.

Marcos Okajima Jr.

A very beautiful place. Pleasant and historic. A green spot in the region. Access is controlled, with parking available upon prior permission.

RUBEMAR CARVALHO

FMUSP not only has one of the most complete faculty teams, but also the largest and best learning infrastructure for medical students.

Gabriela Natania Sales Rebelo

Such a great medical school! The building is beautiful and it gets even more during the nights when they turn some special light on.

Igor V. Araujo

Beautiful place, very clean, great architecture, lucky those who got into medical school lol, our schools could be like this, right?

Edimilson Batista

Outsourced employees are very rude and disrespectful to the public.
These types of people don't deserve jobs.
Require a degree ? …

Fabio Caetano Figueiredo

My Alma Mater. Love it! Could not speak more highly of a teaching medical institution. Had some of the best years of my life there.

marcio de aguiar

The scammer spent all the money meant for the medical students' graduation ? shameless, show yourself, you scammer! …

Luana C. Dos Santos

Besides being one of the best universities in Brazil, it's worth a visit for the unparalleled beauty of the building!

Lorruan Alves dos Santos

The architecture is wonderful. It's very well preserved, and we don't even need to mention the education, right?!

Glauco Silva

The best medical school in Brazil, needs no introduction. For students, the library is excellent for studying.

HenriquEdgar

Good food! With little variety. There aren't enough tables, and there are few tables in the outdoor area. …

Ernesto Paul Medina Paredes

The best medical school in Latin America!!! Proud to have received part of my specialist training there!!!

Roger F.

A beautiful, well-preserved place that holds an important page in the history of medicine in São Paulo.

Arthur silva

They are not respecting the Covid-19 rules!
The service is very slow, and it's getting worse every day.

Maria Barbara Lopes

I'm participating in the exhibitors' fair held at GREMUSP, a great event for those who want to sell.

Lunch at a buffet-style restaurant, outdoor seating, and a stroll among the trees and flowers ? …
