In 2004, a new chapter in Uruguayan healthcare education began. The Facultad de Enfermería y Tecnologías de la Salud was officially established. You might be wondering, why is this important? The Facultad de Enfermería y Tecnologías de la Salud is more than just a building. It represents a commitment to nurturing highly skilled healthcare professionals. It’s the only institution in Uruguay offering undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate programs in nursing. The journey to becoming a Facultad started decades ago. In 1911, the first nursing school opened its doors, following the British model of nursing. Later, under the influence of the Hospital de Clínicas, the University School of Nursing was established in 1950. This marked a pivotal moment, aligning nursing education with the prestigious Facultad de Medicina. After years as an institute, the dream of becoming a fully-fledged faculty was realized in 2004. The Facultad de Enfermería y Tecnologías de la Salud stands as a testament to the dedication and vision of countless individuals who saw the need for advanced nursing education. Their legacy lives on in every graduate who walks through these doors, ready to serve the community.
