• Accreditation process

• The international accreditation of the Caribbean Accreditation Authority for Education In Medicine and Other Health Professions (CAAM-HP), will allow our graduates to continue successfully positioning themselves in specialized medical training programs in the United States, Canada, Europe, Latin America and the country.

  Accreditation is an objective peer review process, designed to attest to the quality of developing educational programs. In medicine, it is a certification of the capacity and competencies that medical education programs have in providing comprehensive training, which guarantees patient safety and the practice of competent doctors globally.

  In the view of the training of doctors with the best national and international standards, and in fulfillment of the strategic mission of INTEC to train citizens capable, integral and competitive internationally, that contribute to the sustainable development of society through science and technology.
  
  In 2015, INTEC's medical career began its international accreditation process with the Caribbean Accreditation Authority for Education In Medicine and Other Health Professions (CAAM-HP), an accreditation body for medical, veterinary and dental schools in the 15 countries members of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), recognized by the World Federation for Medical Education (WFME).

  Obtaining CAAM-HP accreditation involved a demanding review process that evaluated every facet of INTEC's medical program. Whose compliance with the requirements and standards evaluated allowed us to successfully receive the great honor of being the first university in the country and Spanish-speaking in the Caribbean to receive it. This accreditation is exclusive to medical schools that meet or exceed the highest industry standards.

• This accreditation will contribute to the institutional strengthening of the Medicine career, guaranteeing compliance with international standards in terms of structure, function and performance. Resulting in graduates who meet the educational requirements for continuing education and therefore fit for professional practice in society.

  With it, it will allow our graduates to continue successfully positioning themselves in specialized medical training programs in the United States, Canada, Europe, Latin America and the country. Thus making them part of the international benchmark.

• • The accreditation is a validation that the academic program, teachers, internal processes and buildings, laboratories and services of the university correspond to high international standards and allow to achieve the objectives of higher education.
  • As of 2023, the United States will only recognize the degrees of students graduated from accredited universities.
  • The labor field increasingly demands graduates from schools that have been accredited internationally.
  • The accreditation facilitates the process for students who wish to complete their medical residency to continue postgraduate or doctoral studies abroad.

  An accreditation is a process that leads to continuous self-study and continuous evaluation in search of improvement, therefore, more and more students will find a better medical school than they are right now, so it is a process of continuous improvement .

  

  Dr. Fernando Santamaria
  Health Sciences Area Coordinator

  This accreditation has provided the possibility to guarantee students that they have an opportunity to make a specialty in the United States, to access the American health system, and from another part of the world, and that they will not be constrained in the perception and search for your dreams.

  This gives us tremendous peace of mind, but this does not mean that we have already obtained the accreditation and that the process is finished, now we have to maintain that accreditation and to maintain it we must try to constantly improve and solve everything that can and should be solved, So this is a job that started long ago, but still continues.
