São Leopoldo Mandic, one of Brazil’s most respected higher education institutions in the medical field, was once again recognized in the RUF 2025 (Folha University Ranking), published by the Folha de S. Paulo newspaper. The publication ranked the institution’s dentistry program as the best in Brazil among the country’s private higher education institutions in this field of study—a position it has held for the past three years—and 7th overall.
