Universidad Nacional Pedro Henríquez Ureña is
located at Ave. John F. Kennedy Km. 7 ½, Santo Domingo, Dominican
Republic. It is an up-scale campus located in the center of the city on
one of the main avenues, with easy access for arrival next to one of the Santo
Domingo L2 metro stations.
It has an Advanced Architecture Unit that
was conceived as a nucleus for research, development, and implementation of new
media, including: strategic research, prototype development, the promotion of
the inter-disciplinary relationship with collaborative work, the promotion of
collaboration between academia and industry, and the offering of manufacturing
services, all for the purpose of contributing to society.
In this same order, we have a Center of
Operations in Objectively Systematized Medical Simulation (COSMOS), a teaching
and training space for medical simulation that incorporates pre-hospitalization
care. COSMOS has a dynamic design that allows the performing of sequential
practices such as rescue inside the ambulance and transfer to the emergency;
and simultaneous practices such as the acquisition of skills through partial
dexterity. It also incorporates the development of complex scenarios
that require high-fidelity simulators, and feedback sessions facilitated by an
audiovisual system and capture of reproducible data.
We have a clinical laboratory for
dentistry with cutting-edge technology equipment, which serves as a tool for
our students to develop the technical skills required in the competitive
marketplace. Our school has received delegations from the School of
Dentistry of Tufts University, in Boston, United States, with which we have had
an international agreement for eight years, which allows students to student
academic (sic) every year to that important American university.
We inaugurated the first Brain Bank in the
Caribbean; whose objective is to develop lines of research on neurodegenerative
diseases in this country. We are an institution
committed to research and innovation.
