CRICES
Rehabilitationthat also teaches.
The rehabilitation centre of the Instituto Científico de Educación Superior treats the general public and is, at the same time, where our Physical Therapy students learn the craft with real patients.
About CRICES
A clinic insidethe school.
CRICES opened in 2023 on the campus of the Instituto Científico de Educación Superior. It was founded with a double purpose: to strengthen the hands-on training of our Physical Therapy students and to offer specialised care to anyone who needs it, whether or not they belong to the institute's community.
Every course of treatment is handled jointly by the clinic supervisor, the degree's interns and the students on professional placement, always under the corresponding supervision. That is the arrangement that puts academic knowledge and professional practice in the same room.
Here the patient gets care and the student learns. Neither one is an excuse for the other.
