What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0001650) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 93 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 4.6★ — 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.

Francielly Lessa

It's a pleasant place, even though it's quite busy. Because it's a place for outpatient services alongside academic activities, you need to be careful around passing cars. There's a bus stop in front, and even though there's no cafeteria nearby, it's close to places to buy food.

Jane Camargo

I graduated from there. Thanks to it being a federal university, and being of humble origins, I managed to get in. A place with highly competent professors, to mention only Cesar Victora among so many. Long live federal universities and the public education system!

Daniel Sander

One of the most highly regarded medical schools in the country. A national benchmark in studies, research, and patient care. Sought after by students from all regions of Brazil and internationally recognized for the quality of doctors it graduates annually.

Ricardo Timm

I'm receiving my radiotherapy at this location, and from the initial reception (at the counter) to the treatment area, the welcome is sensational. The staff are dedicated and attentive. I have nothing bad to say about FAMED. Congratulations! ?????????? …

ELIANE DIAS

Disappointed!!! My mother frequently travels to see Dr. Paulo Orlando for appointments, and upon arrival, she is informed that the doctor will not be able to attend. Today, for example, is the third consecutive time she has returned home, …

Leandro Victoria

Congratulations to the receptionist and the triage staff! Terrible, negligence! Because I was there with my 74-year-old father, who uses a wheelchair, we were left to the goodwill of the blood collector, even though we arrived at 7:30 and …

Monique Vieira

In person, the service from all the professionals is excellent, but the telephone service is a DISASTER. They ask you to call to schedule an appointment or exam, and you call more than 30 times and it's always busy. Extremely disappointing.

Patricia Mathias

People complain that the departments in the specialist offices don't answer calls, "that they just call." They forget that the receptionists answer calls in person and by phone, and also have various other responsibilities within their …

Vanessa Portela

People, for God's sake, what's the point of having a phone at Famed? Because it's not there to answer us. At least getting through to the pediatrics and gynecology reception is a struggle. …

Eliana de vasconcellos furtado

I urgently need to schedule an appointment with Dr. Luciane Monteiro, an allergist, and I'm unable to. Please tell me how I should proceed. Thank you in advance. Good afternoon and good work.

Matheus Barroco

Excellent public higher education institution! Regarding the library space, everything was very clean, organized, and most importantly, calm and distraction-free. A great place to study!

Greici Do Nascimento Marten

Only medical students are allowed to park their cars inside; other students from other courses who need to take a class there are not permitted! ?? …

Jan C. Oliveira

My experience at that place was very tiring, but I left with a lot of hope and I was very well taken care of. Everyone there does the best they can.

Marcos Oliveira

The cleaning needs improvement, not just on the floor, but the windows are very dirty. Maybe a quick look at the ceiling would make it even cleaner.

F. K.

There is a lack of directional information, opening hours at some clinics are reduced, and the road connecting to one clinic is unpaved.

Ana Maria Silveira Fagundes

Excellent, I've been a patient for many years.
They have specialists, nutritionists, pediatricians, gynecologists, psychiatrists, etc...

Very good. Doctors with excellent understanding.
The doctors (all of them, without exception) are all very professional and dedicated.

Erick de Freitas

I've been studying here for 4 years and I still don't know what's in the locked little room under the anatomy lab.

No one answers the phone. Communication is very difficult; I've been trying to call for days without success.

Giovane Domingues

You call, the phone rings and rings and nobody answers, what's going on? The line is busy off the hook.

I keep calling and calling and they don't answer. But the atmosphere is good and the service is good.

Bella Megiato

Excellent service, the reception staff and the doctor, Dr. Cinara, deserve praise.
