Teaching and training
Our teaching vocation
Since its inception, the Puigvert Foundation has had a clear teaching vocation. In 1967, it was recognized as a postgraduate specialization school by ministerial order (BOE of August 30), officially recognizing the excellent teaching work carried out by Professor Antoni Puigvert and his team of collaborators. This teaching vocation has been extended over the years to other teaching and training areas in the Health Sciences.
The Teaching Coordination of the Foundation depends on the Healthcare and Medical Directorate and has been held since 2022 by Dr. Patricia Fernández-Llama, a nephrologist assigned to the Hypertension and Kidney Damage Prevention Unit.
