Exciting news for future healthcare professionals in the region! The University Autónoma de Coahuila‘s (UAdeC) Norte campus is taking bold steps to expand its academic offerings. A hot topic? You guessed it – medicine!
According to Luis Carlos Talamantes Arredondo, the campus’s dedicated coordinator, a detailed project is already underway, aimed at bringing high-demand career paths right to the doorstep of eager students.
This transformative proposal will soon be presented to the esteemed Council of the University (CU) with hopes for official approval at the start of next year. “We envision a future where young talent can pursue their educational dreams within their own communities, eliminating the need for relocation,” Talamantes Arredondo emphasized. This initiative not only aims to curb the exodus of students but also to cultivate a stronger regional workforce with specialized skills in healthcare and other crucial disciplines.
The growing demand for quality education in the Centro region of Coahuila makes this expansion a timely and crucial move. For years, careers in healthcare, particularly medicine, have been top choices for aspiring students and their parents, seeking stable and rewarding careers.
Imagine a future where access to quality medical education is right here, eliminating the need to travel to cities like Saltillo, Torreón, or Monterrey, or the financial strain of private universities.
More Than Just Education – A Community Impact

We’re facing an urgent need for qualified medical professionals in the hospitals and health centers of Monclova and surrounding areas. Trained healthcare providers staying local is a surefire path to bolstering the quality and accessibility of healthcare services.
The UAdeC Norte campus plans to formally unveil its ambitious project in the coming months. Stay tuned!
