The University of Deusto has renewed the framework agreement of academic collaboration with the IMQ Group, which includes the Vicente San Sebastian Clinic and IMQ medical polyconsultancies in Bizkaia, Alava and Gipuzkoa, for the carrying out of clinical placements for students of the degrees in Medicine, Nursing and Physiotherapy at Deusto in their health and hospital centres and services.
The health installations where the students will carry out their work experience are the IMQ Zorrotzaurre Clinic and the Virgen Blanca Clinic, which have been recognised as University Hospitals, and the IMQ Colón, IMQ Amarica and IMQ Zurriola medical centres, now university centres.
The collaboration consolidates the academic and healthcare relationship between the two entities and enables future healthcare professionals to complete their training and acquisition of the skills required in the official study plan, also contemplating the exchange of knowledge and collaboration in teaching activities and research projects between the University of Deusto and the IMQ Group centres.
To date, more than 300 students from the University of Deusto have completed their medical, nursing and physiotherapy internships at IMQ clinics and centres.
The agreement was signed by Juan José Etxeberria, Rector of the University of Deusto; Javier Aguirregabiria, General Manager of the Igualmequisa Group, IMQ Bizkaia Medical Clinics, Auxiliar de Servicios Médicos and Zurriola Medical Centre; and Dr. Nicolás Guerra, General Manager of the Vicente San Sebastián Clinic.
