The Santiago de Cali University has solidified its standing as a leading institution for high-quality medical education in Colombia. This recognition has also paved the way for new academic and inter-institutional collaborations with other universities nationwide interested in adopting advanced clinical simulation methodologies.
Dr. Marín highlighted the significance of the event,stating,”This event has been a window that allows the university’s progress in clinical simulation to be shown at the national level. We are already projecting alliances for diplomas,courses and training with other universities that still do not have this infrastructure.”
A notable innovation during the event was the implementation of a Closed Circuit Transmission Platform. This technology enabled deans, jurors, and members of the National Clinical Simulation Committee to observe the real-time evaluation process without impacting the students’ psychological security. This initiative,dubbed the ECOE Evaluation Clinic: Critical Observatory for Improvement of Evaluation,underscores the commitment of Ascofame and the USC to the ongoing enhancement of health training standards.
A pivotal moment of the day was the announcement of the southern region’s winner: José Alejandro Gasca Insuasti, a medical intern at the Santiago de Cali University. He earned the title “BEST INTERNAL Southwest Region 2025”. His extraordinary performance places him among the country’s top participants and serves as a clear testament to the academic rigor and the high level of formative excellence that defines the medicine Program at the Santiago de Cali University.
This achievement directly reflects the institution’s dedication to educational quality, cutting-edge technology, and a highly qualified teaching staff. The Santiago de Cali University demonstrates its commitment to academic excellence through tangible accomplishments like this recognition, proving its dedication to rigorous, relevant training that aligns with the highest national standards.
