These tools seek to reinforce clinical knowledge and improve the communication and decision-making skills of the doctor of the future."

Dr. Christopher Reeder then spoke on the future of medical education and how he sees the future of the UAG School of Medicine with the following words. "The COVID pandemic has forced us to transform medical education and embrace technology and curriculum changes. I feel that the future is bright. Doctors of the future will be fantastic and better equipped to meet the demands of the 21st century. UAG continues to provide first-class education, incorporating the most advanced technology and leading curriculum development."

Finally, Lic. Susana Leaño approached the stage and spoke a few to cement this momentous event, "Tonight, we are inaugurating this magnificent campus, which includes cutting-edge facilities, a center for simulated patient care, and beautiful spaces designed to provide comprehensive learning experiences for our students and staff. We believe that this new space will allow us to deliver quality education to prepare well-rounded physicians that will heal and serve the community, by encouraging the quest of innovation, academic excellence, adequate training, and disease prevention. "

The new International Campus has cutting-edge technology that will be used by both teachers and students to support their medical education and ensure the successful completion of the medical program. The inauguration of the new International Campus is part of UAG's longstanding commitment to providing exceptional medical education. This event will mark the 40th anniversary of the program's establishment in 1983 which will be commemorated in 2023.
