Our residences

The Medical Center was founded on September 28, 1928, by Drs. Belisario Otamendi and Daniel Miroli, with the aim of establishing a cutting-edge medical institution. Since its inception, it has built its reputation by providing high-quality services, care, and scientific excellence, becoming one of the most prestigious institutions in the field of healthcare.

In 1995, an agreement was signed with the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Buenos Aires as an affiliated entity, and the Fellowship in Internal Medicine Second Level Program was created, with full-time healthcare activities.

The residency program began in 2002 and currently offers basic and post-basic residencies. Since then, residencies have been offered in Internal Medicine, Intensive Care, Cardiology, Diagnostic Imaging, Ophthalmology, and Neonatology.

This system is the basis of postgraduate medical education and allows graduate students to transition into becoming specialized physicians. The Medical Residency at the Medical Center is a comprehensive training method for physicians, where, regardless of the specialty or orientation chosen, students enter into healthcare activities according to a predetermined educational program, with exclusive dedication and through the personal execution—under supervision—of professional acts of increasing complexity and responsibility.

Our programs include residencies that require a single exam/unified competition. They are based on intensive training in healthcare, for which residents receive a stipend, with theoretical training provided by the staff of doctors through the same healthcare work, classes, courses, and seminars, as well as support for attending the respective advanced university courses in each specialty.

The current structure of academic activities (classes, service rounds, daily clinical reports from the respective team, seminars, advanced specialization courses, cross-disciplinary courses, conferences, and courses) provides residents with tools for acquiring theoretical knowledge and judgment, as well as clinical reasoning. This is complemented by scientific work and the publication of papers at the national and international level, an objective that is encouraged in the resident's daily work.

The Medical Center a consensus-based decision-making system in order to respond to a large number of cases that require interdisciplinary consultation. To this end, specialists meet periodically in seminars, where complex cases are discussed. In the various seminars, the aim is to enrich research work and the diagnosis of problem cases.

The training of specialists is complemented by specialist courses and postgraduate seminars, virtual conferences, and participation in publications arising from research projects in pursuit of original knowledge.
