Academic Agreements
Professional exchange and collaboration.
Research as part of medical development at a national and international level.
The Hospital has established a wide range of scientific collaboration agreements with leading centres and universities across the region and around the world.
Academic and Research Partnerships
At the British Hospital, we take pride in being a centre of healthcare that also develops the professionals of tomorrow.
For many years, our departments across a range of specialities have actively participated in medical training programmes through residencies, as part of the Medical Excellence Programme, developed in partnership with the Universidad de la República (UDELAR) and other academic institutions.
The programme is designed to provide high-quality care while training new doctors according to the highest academic, clinical and ethical standards.
Resident doctors gain hands-on experience in our emergency department, outpatient clinics, delivery unit and surgical block. They work under the direct, continuous supervision of our experienced staff doctors, who provide guidance and mentorship throughout their training.
Being part of a teaching hospital ensures that care processes are constantly reviewed, teamwork is encouraged, and practices are updated according to the latest evidence. The involvement of residents not only helps develop future specialists but also reinforces our commitment to patient-centred, safe, empathetic and high-quality care.

This agreement encourages healthcare workers, research and technical personnel to participate in postgraduate activities and training programmes in order to reinforce scientific activities.
It includes sharing experience and personnel in the fields of teaching, research, management, administration and culture in general, which will benefit both institutions’ scientific and academic activities.
The agreement encourages "the participation of joint work between the two institutions” and encourages cooperation "in training programmes for healthcare workers, research and technical personnel”, as well as the exchange of books, scientific publications and other material on research, teaching and care.
In order to carry out these and other activities, the British Hospital and CLAEH will design a programme that will be evaluated periodically. In the future, other specific scientific-academic initiatives can be added.
In partnership with the Universidad Católica, we carry out research and development projects, as well as activities for scientific exchange and outreach.
