In this regard, he stated that "during this term, we must strengthen our commitment to adapting to new times and technologies in order to maintain the standard of the programs we offer, ensuring that our faculty members remain up to date not only with the knowledge derived from their clinical practice, but also with new teaching methodologies, so as to train the best professionals."
