We train physiotherapists, experts in patient care
As a healthcare professional, you must understand that each patient is unique and that treating an elderly person, a pregnant woman or an injured elite athlete will be different. Your role will be fundamental in the lives of all of them, but your treatment, outlook and service will be different. For this reason, at the UFV you will take humanistic training courses to understand each case and develop personal skills that are essential for your work
Four years ago I made the decision, with the support of my family, to become part of the great family of the Universidad Francisco de Vitoria. From the first day I entered the campus as a physiotherapy student, I have felt accompanied. It is a home where you can express how you are and how you feel, where you meet many people and they help you to know yourself. It is a big family full of many people committed to making sure that you don’t pass through the university, but rather that it passes through you. Thank you for teaching me to look beyond the surface, to listen actively and to always share love with each person we meet along the way. Thank you for pushing me to question about life and my meaning, thank you for making me understand that life is a great gift that I am fortunate to live in this great family.
I have been a professor at UFV for more than 10 years, and I have seen the university grow at the same time that the university has seen me grow. The atmosphere is clearly differentiating, and the UFV seal is a reality that all students appreciate during and after their studies. In general, there is a unified opinion about the closeness and close relationship between students, professors and different employees of the university. Perhaps the best thing I can say about my time at UFV is that without a doubt, I would be delighted to have my children study here when they are old enough to study at UFV.
