The University of Murcia pays tribute to the people who set up and grew the Faculty of Medicine (07/02/2020)

The Faculty of Medicine of the University of Murcia has celebrated this Friday the central event of the commemorations of the 50th anniversary of its foundation with a great collective tribute to all the people who have been part of the center throughout this half century and have contributed to its growth and development.

Students, professors and administration and services staff from different stages and promotions have received recognition and love from the University of Murcia.

Carmen Robles, current dean of the Faculty, has insisted that this act has been "a tribute and recognition to people."

The head of the Faculty wanted to have a special thanks to those who made possible the creation of this faculty, back in 1969/70;

"To all of them our love and great respect," he said during his speech.

The rector, José Luján, highlighted the enormous importance that the Faculty of Medicine has had in the Region throughout these fifty years, both academically and from the point of view of research and social impact.

"The Region of Murcia would not be the same without the University of Murcia and the University of Murcia would not be the same without the Faculty of Medicine," he said.

The event has also been attended by the mayor of Murcia, José Ballesta, who was a student of the seventh class, professor and rector of the University of Murcia.

Ballesta has also highlighted the importance of the Faculty in the development of the city and the Region during this half century.

During the event, the work of the deans that the Faculty has had since its foundation and that have been present through a video in which they reviewed the challenges they had during their mandates has been recalled.

A special moment was the intervention, also in a video, by Carmen Gomar, daughter of the late Francisco Gomar;

first dean of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Murcia.

The current dean referred to the complexity of the beginnings: "I know that things were not easy for them. In those years the first classes were held in the old General Hospital, today Reina Sofía, first in the auditorium and then in a space given in the back of the hospital, just where the emergency door of Queen Sofia is now, they were complicated times both politically and socially, but this group of professors, with more enthusiasm and desire than means, knew how to do their job well. work and that first impulse has taken us here, 50 years later with four Degrees and 10 masters and about 2500 students, "said Carmen Robles.

One of the most emotional moments of the morning has been the recognition of the first Medicine promotion.

Many of the people who formed it, students and teachers, have taken the stage with the warm applause of the entire auditorium and posed for a family photograph for the story.

The teachers that make up the departments of the Faculty have also received a tribute, in recognition of their daily work;

as well as administration and services staff and representatives of student delegations.

Graduates with the best academic records of the past year of the degrees taught at the Faculty have also received applause from all present.
