In addition, they visited Central Building, where they had a meeting with María Iraburu, Vice President of academic staff, who reminded them of the founding spirit of the University and encouraged them to always aspire to excellence: "You have the opportunity to train to be excellent doctors but you will also need to be excellent people. Here you will find a favorable ecosystem to grow professionally and humanly".
