Argentine
General characteristics
Argentina is placed in the southern part of the South America; it is a wide country (2.766.889 km2 or 1.068.301 square miles). Due to the vast territory of the country, the climate is very changeable according to the region.
Argentina´s population accounts for more than 39 million inhabitants, 13million of whom are concentrated in Buenos Aires metropolitan area. The country’s population is predominantly White, most of Italian or Spaniard origin, but it also has important collectivities belonging to diverse ethnic groups.
Education
In the educational field, Argentina has high levels of literacy; primary education is compulsory, and since university education is free this is not an exclusive privilege for the higher classes.
This educational policy is what allows for the permanent training of physicians and other professionals from other fields of science and art, many of whom travel abroad to improve their knowledge and become outstanding professionals among their colleagues from other countries.
Argentine Medicine
Argentine medicine is acknowledged worldwide; our doctors are trained under a rigorous, lengthy system which does not end with their graduate degree.
In order to work in the profession, newly graduated physicians have to pass an exam which allows them to enter their two-year graduate medical internship (graduate internships take place in public hospitals, where low income population receive medical care).
This training is complemented with academic work; doctors are to obtain a license issued by the medical association representing their specialization. These licenses are regularly renewed to make sure that the professionals are familiar with new methodologies and technologies involved in their specialty.
Argentina’s medical research experience is partially reflected in three medical scientists who have been awarded with the Nobel Price: Bernardo Houssay (1947), Federico Leloir (1970) and César Milstein (1984), as well as the outstanding inputs of Dr. René Favaloro, chest surgeon, who performed the first coronary artery bypass in the world.
Cordoba
It is the second most important city in Argentina and the main city in the central area. It has a soft slope towards the Sierras Chicas, in the Suquía river valley, and the average maximum temperature is 24ºC, whereas the minimal average temperature is de 11ºC.
Cordoba offers tourists its history and outstanding landscapes, with attractive places filled with surprises for visitors. A direct way to reach the city is by plane, through its International Pajas Blancas Airport.
