Antonio Buljubasich, secretary of the Provincial Agency for the Implementation of the Medical Degree Program, met with Federico Cardozo, Minister of Finance and Economy, during an informational meeting on April 6.
The meeting focused on reviewing the development of the medical degree program in Ledesma and considering future steps. Buljubasich said, “En la oportunidad dialogamos sobre cómo se está desarrollando la carrera de Medicina en Ledesma, pensando en diversos puntos a tener en cuenta a futuro. Así como lo anunció el gobernador Carlos Sadir, hay una decisión política del Gobierno de la Provincia de formar recursos humanos en el sector Salud.”
Buljubasich also emphasized that “la implementación de la carrera de Medicina se encuadra en una política pública que se ejecuta a través de la Agencia y en articulación con organismos universitarios, autoridades municipales e instituciones educativas, con el objetivo de ampliar el acceso a la formación médica y fortalecer el sistema sanitario provincial.”
The main campus for this new medical degree is located in Libertador General San Martín city within Ledesma. The program at Universidad Nacional de Jujuy officially began classes last March after selecting sixty top students based on their academic performance. The curriculum spans six years and emphasizes community medicine and primary care.
Buljubasich concluded by saying that efforts continue to ensure competent personnel and efficient processes to strengthen institutions, support decentralization, and contribute to the well-being of the community.
