Universidad Cristóbal Colón receives second medical accreditation

The Universidad Cristóbal Colón (UCC) has received its second reaccreditation for its Medical Surgeon degree from the Mexican Council for the Accreditation of Medical Education (COMAEM). The accreditation was presented to UCC Rector Francisco Javier Alonso Arroyo by COMAEM President Julio César Gómez Fernández.

This accreditation holds international relevance, as COMAEM is authorized to accredit medical schools in Mexico, Costa Rica, Guatemala, El Salvador, Peru, and Panama. In the state of Veracruz, UCC is one of only three institutions to hold this specific accreditation, alongside the Universidad Veracruzana and the Universidad del Valle de México. The recognition facilitates student access to essential clinical fields for professional training.
