What Faculdade de Medicina de Campos does

Faculdade de Medicina de Campos (FMC) is a private, nonprofit higher education institution founded on October 14, 1967, in Campos dos Goytacazes, Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil, maintained by Fundação Benedito Pereira Nunes (a nonprofit foundation established in 1934). The institution delivers undergraduate programs in Medicine, Pharmacy, and Nursing, with the six-year Medicine program as the flagship offering; postgraduate lato sensu specializations including Endocrinologia, Saúde Mental, and Análises Clínicas; and short continuing education courses. FMC holds Conceição Institutional 4 from Brazil's MEC (2019), Conceição de Curso 5 (highest) for both Medicine (2025) and Nursing (2024), and Conceição de Curso 4 for Pharmacy (2025), with institutional re-accreditation confirmed via Portaria 877-Seres-MEC in 2025.

FMC operates a physical infrastructure comprising a main campus at Av. Alberto Torres in central Campos dos Goytacazes, three core affiliated teaching sites (Hospital Escola Álvaro Alvim, Centro de Saúde Escola de Custodópolis, Hospital dos Plantadores de Cana), and additional clinical rotation partners including Santa Casa de Misericórdia, Hospital Ferreira Machado, Hospital Geral de Guarus, and Hospital Psiquiátrica Espírita. The institution runs 14 active community extension projects and centers of research/dissemination including the Centro de Informação sobre Medicamentos (CIM) launched in June 2022 and a peer-reviewed scientific journal (ISSN 1980-7813). Digital academic services consist of off-the-shelf third-party systems: the Lyceum portal for student and faculty academic management, the digital diploma issuance module, and the Pergamum online library catalog.

The revenue model is anchored on semiannual tuition (semestralidades) from enrolled students across Medicine, Pharmacy, and Nursing, supplemented by federal FIES student financing via an institutional CPSA commission, FBPN-managed social scholarships, document issuance fees (R$20-R$450 per document), and professional services revenue from Hospital Escola Álvaro Alvim and affiliated healthcare units. Student acquisition is conducted through semiannual vestibular entrance examinations held in June and November/December, plus a transfer process for students from other MEC-authorized institutions. The institution holds CEBAS charitable certification (last renewed via Portaria 1.206 of December 28, 2023) and has graduated 3,905 physicians across 46 classes since 1967, supported by a faculty body of 125 professors and a staff within the 101-250 employee band.
