Facultat de Medicina UVic-UCC

What Facultat de Medicina UVic-UCC does

Facultat de Medicina UVic-UCC is the medical faculty of the Universitat de Vic - Universitat Central de Catalunya (UVic-UCC), a public Catalan university system entity. The faculty delivers three undergraduate degree programs: a six-year Grau en Medicina, a five-year Grau en Odontologia, and the Grau en Audiologia General (the first undergraduate audiology program in Spain). It also offers master's and postgraduate continuing education plus customized training for external healthcare professionals and companies.

The faculty operates a multi-centric campus anchored at Vic (Carretera de Roda, Can Baumann building) with a territorial teaching unit at Hospital Sant Joan de D\u00e9u in Manresa, where the University Dental Clinic (Cl\u00ednica Odontol\u00f2gica Universit\u00e0ria, COU+) is also based. Teaching is delivered through specialized facilities including the CISARC international clinical simulation center, the Clinical Anatomy and Virtual Dissection Laboratory with a SECTRA virtual anatomy table, the Audiolab (audiometry, tympanometry, otoacoustic emissions), the Preclinical Odontology Laboratory with phantom workstations, and a Technology Laboratory with digital radiography and intraoral cameras. Clinical training is distributed across an extensive regional healthcare network including Hospital Universitari de Vic, Hospital Sant Joan de D\u00e9u Manresa, Cl\u00ednica Corach\u00e1n, Fundaci\u00f3 Puigvert, and more than 20 affiliated centers from Puigcerd\u00e0 to Barcelona.

Revenue is generated primarily through tuition fees for the three degree programs, continuing-education and master's programs, custom training delivered through the anatomy lab, and clinical service revenue from the university dental clinics. The faculty is legally constituted as the Fundaci\u00f3 d'Estudis Superiors en Ci\u00e8ncies de la Salut (FESS) and is integrated into the Catalan public university system. The go-to-market is event-driven and institutional: prospective students are reached through open days, virtual open days, downloadable catalogs, multi-language website (Catalan, Spanish, English), active social channels, and international mobility programs via Erasmus+.
