What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0001711) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 106 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.

Érica Andrade

It's unbelievable how much the staff dislike serving customers; it's astonishing, it's like they're doing a favor and not getting paid! Terrible service, they skip the number, say they called your number when they didn't, and let people cut in line without warning!

Michel Alves

Unfortunately, the institution has absolutely no respect for its students. In the midst of a pandemic, we are all doing our best despite the difficulties. Online classes are far inferior to in-person classes, but we understand the current …

Kátia Pinho

I've been trying for months to schedule an appointment with Dr. Claudia Yamada for my son, and every month the new nurse says she's already full. She told me to call in the first week of the month, so I called on August 3rd, 2021, and she …

Auditorium of excellent size! Sound, lighting and air conditioning, everything was wonderful! The college itself also has excellent teaching and service. Two nephews have already graduated and currently my son is studying there. …

Camilla Koenigkam

It seems to harm the student... In every sense, the ombudsman doesn't solve anything. Nothing works in this institution... I wouldn't give it any stars. I need to give them just to be able to post this; no stars are worth anything.

I've been waiting for more than 10 minutes to be served and I can't stand hearing "your call is first in line" anymore... ugh. If it doesn't even work at the entrance, I don't know what's going on...
