Health teaching ecosystem
The Faculdade Ciências Médicas de Minas Gerais (FCM-MG) is the oldest private medical school in Minas Gerais. It was founded in the 1950s on the initiative of physician, professor and humanist Dr. Lucas Monteiro Machado, who pointed out the shortage of doctors in the state and the need to provide technical and human training for future professionals. With this in mind, he brought together teaching colleagues from the then University of Minas Gerais (the future UFMG) to create the new school, which received its license to operate from the Ministry of Education and Health on November 7, 1950.
FCM-MG is now recognized as one of the most prestigious medicalschools in the country. It also offers degrees in Nursing, Physiotherapy, Dentistry and Psychology, as well as a postgraduate program, both lato and stricto sensu.. It has two university campuses in Belo Horizonte (MG). The first is on Alameda Ezequiel Dias and the second will open in February 2022 on Avenida dos Andradas, both in the hospital area of the capital.
Its curriculum is built on a balance between theory and practice, based on solid moral and ethical training.
FCM-MG students have the opportunity to do supervised internships at the Minas Gerais Medical Sciences Outpatient Clinic (ACM-MG) and the Minas Gerais Medical Sciences University Hospital (HUCM), which are part of the Lucas Machado Educational Foundation (Feluma), and at partner institutions such as the Santa Casa de Belo Horizonte and the João XXIII Emergency Hospital, among others.
As part of its mission as a philanthropic, non-profit private institution, FCM-MG provides free care to people who seek it via SUS. Another measure of social responsibility is the practice of community health through the Rural/Metropolitan Internship Program in underprivileged areas of rural Minas Gerais.
