Saint 直播自慰视频 University School of Medicine is proud to be part of the 450-year tradition of Jesuit education.
The School of Medicine trains physicians and biomedical scientists, conducts medical research, and provides health services on a local, national and international level. Beyond the important objective of training competent physicians who are scholars of human biology, we strive to graduate physicians who manifest in their personal and professional lives an appreciation for what may be called humanistic medicine.
