What Instituto de Ensino e Pesquisa do Hospital Sírio Libanês does

The Instituto de Ensino e Pesquisa do Hospital Sírio-Libanês, operating commercially as Faculdade Sírio-Libanês, is a private nonprofit higher education institution founded in 2003 as the academic and research arm of Hospital Sírio-Libanês in São Paulo, Brazil. It offers a portfolio of health sciences programs across undergraduate degrees (Biomedicine, Nursing, Physiotherapy, Psychology, and the newly launched Medicine program announced in April 2025), postgraduate specialization courses (including a digital distance-learning platform called Pós-Graduação Digital), medical and multi-professional residency programs, short-duration refresher courses, vacation courses for high school students, and clinical, translational, and postdoctoral research programs. The institution holds maximum accreditation (nota máxima) from Brazil's Ministry of Education (MEC) and is operated as a subsidiary of the Hospital Sírio-Libanês ecosystem.

The technology and delivery stack centers on the Lyceum learning management system with dedicated student (Portal do Aluno) and faculty (Portal do Docente) portals, complemented by advanced simulation and training centers, modern laboratories, a digital library, and flexible classrooms. The proprietary "Experiência de Aprendizagem Sírio-Libanês" methodology integrates practical activities, internships across both public and private healthcare settings, and patient-journey immersion that leverages exclusive access to the parent hospital's clinical operations and clinical staff for teaching.

The revenue model is tuition-driven, with monthly fees (mensalidade) across the undergraduate programs, plus postgraduate, residency, short course, and research revenue streams, supplemented by scholarships and student credit (bolsa de estudo). The go-to-market motion is sales-led through a traditional academic enrollment process: a centralized vestibular (entrance exam) for undergraduate programs and direct applications for postgraduate and residency offerings, supported by a multi-channel presence spanning social media, WhatsApp inquiry lines, earned media in outlets such as CNN Brasil and G1, and guided campus visits. Customer segments are horizontal: prospective health sciences students, practicing healthcare professionals seeking specialization, and researchers seeking clinical and postdoctoral opportunities within the Hospital Sírio-Libanês ecosystem.
