Traditionally recognized as an institution specialized in health sciences, Unifesp is responsible for the training of qualified human resources and the development of scientific research in health. Its core is the Escola Paulista de Medicina( EPM), whose foundation dates back to 1933 and was supported by private funds and government subsidies until its federalization in 1956. With the enactment of Law No. 8957 in 1994, EPM turned into a federal university, keeping the courses in Medial Science, Nursing, Biomedical Sciences, Speech Therapy and Ophthalmic Technology - which now integrates the Health Technologies. The strong growth experienced by the institution throughout decades has been reflected both in the occupation of more than a hundred buildings in the vicinity of its headquarters in Vila Clementino (SP), in which teaching centers, research institutes and clinics were installed, as well as the construction of own buildings such as Research Buildings I and II, the National Institute of Pharmacology and the Regional Blood Center. Led by highly qualified faculty, health research at Unifesp is linked to the professional practice, which ranges from primary care to the use of the latest technology in diagnostic methods and disease treatment. The Hospital São Paulo - recognized as the largest teaching hospital in the country and reference in highly complex procedures - provides undergraduate and graduate students the exercise of clinical practice and welfare services to the underprivileged population supported by the Unified Health System (SUS).
