Internationalization
The Internationalization Program brings about a complete transformation, focusing on curricular innovation, faculty development, and, of course, exchange opportunities for students. The idea is to prepare our students to operate in a global environment, always striving for excellence in teaching, in addition to expanding their knowledge.
Program Academic Mobility
The Academic Mobility Program aims to articulate and expand the academic relationships between students and faculty in undergraduate and graduate courses in Medicine and Dentistry.
Structure and fundamentals
The Academic Mobility Program was created based on guidelines from the Ministry of Education (MEC) and with the support of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES).
Objectives and benefits of the program
Broadening academic horizons
To offer students and faculty the opportunity to expand their academic knowledge and perspectives.
To enrich the diversity of academic training through exposure to innovative teaching methods, research, and different approaches in medical and dental practice.
Knowledge exchange
To promote the exchange of knowledge and best practices among medical and dental education institutions around the world.
To foster understanding and global collaboration in the field of health.
Access to various health systems
To provide students with the experience of living through different health systems, teaching methods, and cultures in the health field.
To strengthen professional development through experience in diverse healthcare settings.
Modalities and regulations
In the midst of developing a plan to expand its international partnerships, we currently have several agreements signed with educational and research institutions in the United States, India, Indonesia, Italy, and Portugal. In addition to these existing agreements, new partnerships are rapidly expanding.
If you wish to undertake academic mobility at an institution that does not have an agreement with SLMANDIC group colleges (as a free mover), you must contact the institution of interest and verify the necessary documents for your application. When doing so, inform the foreign institution that you are a student and faculty member of the SLMANDIC Group, an institution recognized by the Brazilian Ministry of Education. After acceptance, you must inform the Internationalization Directorate about the academic mobility agreement via email (Medicine – mobilidadeinternacional.medicina@slmandic.edu.brand Dentistry – mobilidadeinternacional.odontologia@slmandic.edu.br).
