In 2022, we proceeded with the strategy of consolidating our leadership in Medical Education. We acquired Unit Alagoas (AL) and Fits Jaboatão dos Guararapes (PE), and inaugurated four Medicine education units inserted in the Mais Médicos program: two of them, in Pará, and two in Amazonas, further strengthening our operations in the Northern Region of the country.

32 schools, in 14 states

30 schools offering Medicine course 

63% of our schools in operation are located outside major cities, reinforcing our proposal to interiorize medical education 

69% of the schools are located in the North and Northeast regions

50% of the faculty members are Master's and/or PhDs
