Clinical partnership, entry route and limited tuition support
Icesi offers a two-year, in-person MFM second specialty through its teaching-service alliance with Fundación Valle del Lili Hospital Universitario in Cali. The 137-credit plan uses progressive clinical delegation and includes high-risk pregnancy, fetal diagnosis, congenital abnormalities, fetal therapy and surgery, associated maternal disease, research, ethics and a degree project. Listed subjects are not an individual procedure-volume guarantee.
The university names Juan Pablo Benavides Calvache as academic coordinator; the linked medical-specialties brochure independently confirms his MFM programme coordination. The course requires a prior O&G specialist qualification. A knowledge examination, requirements check, preselection and interview form the published selection process; no current deadline or available seat is established here.
Foreign applicants have additional qualification-validation, apostille, RETHUS-enrolment, identification, immigration and recent medical-ethics-certificate requirements. The checklist’s visa wording is an institutional admission statement; it does not establish that a permit will be issued or sponsored. Clinical licensing and the current migration route require separate confirmation.
Fundación Valle del Lili’s published 100% tuition support is discretionary, applies only to national students in the source wording and remains subject to terms and conditions. The beneficiary still pays procultura. A shorter duplicated panel omits that restriction, so the fuller limitation is retained. No salary or support for travel, accommodation, living costs or visa is inferred. The semester price is undated and its currency is not spelled out in that block; confirm the applicable charges and award terms.
