Universidad El Bosque is a higher education institution located in Bogotá, Colombia, delivering health-focused education that ties practical clinical experience to academic study. Its origins trace back to a group of 25 health professionals who formed Clínica El Bosque, the precursor to the university, expanding from the Escuela Colombiana de Medicina. The entity began operations in 1977, with the ICFES recognizing the Escuela Colombiana de Medicina as a legal entity in 1978 and later recognizing the Universidad El Bosque as a university in 1997, under supervision of the Ministry of Education. It serves students pursuing health-related studies and training, addressing the need to link hands-on clinical practice with theoretical learning while emphasizing humanity in both patients and healthcare professionals. The institution operates within the higher education sector in Bogotá and is recognized as a legally established, supervised education provider.
