The Albert Einstein College of Medicine began its activities a few years ago and is already recognized as one of the leading educational institutions in the health field in our country. Our Institution has a modern building and all the teaching and medical pedagogy resources to train doctors with an up-to-date evidence-based knowledge associated with humanization and social responsibility.

 

The Postgraduate Program of the Einstein Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology offers Master's and PhD courses in many research fields. The Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology has a Medical Residency program dedicated to General Orthopedics and will begin the Residency in Hand Surgery and Reconstructive Microsurgery. The Department of Orthopedics has invested in medical education and research in the Reconstructive Microsurgery Laboratory and Virtual Surgeries rooms.

 

The Upper Limb Medical Care Group brings together teams dedicated to the treatment of the Shoulder and Elbow injuries, as well as teams dedicated to Hand Surgery and Reconstructive Microsurgery. The various care centers, including 3 hospitals, 7 Emergency Care Units and several consultation clinics, have 8 Hand Surgery and Microsurgery teams to support and treat emergencies and complex cases.
