What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0000570) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 46 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 4.5★ — 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 Colombia 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.

Patricia Martinez

FUCS is an institution that has disappointed me. Undergraduate evening students receive no support whatsoever. There are no agreements in place for internships; the students have to find them themselves. If they manage to get them, it's in …

Dani Roa

Years ago I wanted to study there, but it didn't work out. For eight years I battled endometriosis, and I never received dignified treatment from the EPS (health insurance provider). Unfortunately, in Colombia, there aren't enough …

Nelly Acuña

The undergraduate program in health services administration lacks the quality of its teaching staff, and there is no agreement on the professional internship site. They still have a lot of room for improvement.

William Alberto Garrote Garcia

Good day. My daughter, Luna Garrote Porras, studied pre-university studies this semester at this institution. She is not receiving any certification or grades for her studies. Student: Luna Garrote Porras

jorge vanegaz

The staff who received my baby for a necropsy was the worst; very rude and unfriendly, and in front of a family, it's unacceptable. It's sad that there are staff like that attending to grieving families.

Guido Caro

Excellent university faculty, with spacious and modern facilities, spaces for sports activities, and a large parking area. Just one suggestion: check the parking rates and you'll get a 5-star rating.

c.a.g.r uwu

This is a fantastic school, and the quality of the professors is very high. As a graduate of the Health Services Administration program, I am very satisfied; they exceeded my expectations.

Liliana Martinez

The classrooms are in terrible condition, with leaks and humidity. They don't disinfect or clean the evening classrooms. The hallways are unlit. The bathrooms are completely unclean. …

sergio rodriguez sarmiento

More than 12 hours with 20 people who don't know anything, treating a normal stomach ache, 5 hours for each blood test result, 4 bags of only serum, the worst hospital,

Juan Camilo Carrillo

Large learning spaces, a variety of health science programs. Multiple practice settings almost exclusively for its students. It needs more recreational areas.

Johan Sebastian Castillo Veloza

The admissions process for medical postgraduate studies is profoundly unfair. There is no evidence of this, but there are too many suspicions to ignore it.

Paramedico German Orjuela

The best paramedic training in Bogotá with the APH (prehospital care) program. If you want to be the best, you must learn from the best.

Samuel P.

I do not recommend doctors who graduated from this Foundation; their care is terrible and they don't know what they're doing!

Cesar Chacon

The facilities are nice and comfortable, but everyone from the security guards to the doctors is arrogant and unsympathetic.

Patricia Yepez

I want to publicly express my disagreement and discontent with the persecution and bullying that students are subjected to.

RIBE SOLAQUE

Very difficult to free up stretchers and contempt for the rest of the health personnel who are not part of the institution

Zulma Rojas

The facilities are good but there is a lack of signage, especially in the corridors where it is easy to get lost.

ELIANA ANDREA CAMARGO BOLIVAR

It's a shame that education in Colombia is only for those with money, not necessarily the desire or knowledge.
