During 2006, Chilean universities had 586,000 students, corresponding to 41% of the population aged 18 to 23 years.
To evaluate the situation of health care teaching in Chile.
Data from 6,212 careers were elaborated, considering the area of knowledge taught, level of teaching, geography, number and type of students, admission and tuition fees.
There are 537 programs for health care teaching in Chile. Of these, 231 are for nursing or dentistry aide personnel. The system has 60,648 matriculated students and it collected a total of US$250 millions in tuition fees. Only 9,8% of programs are accredited. The students who chose health careers had the highest scores in the National University Selection Examination or PSU. Between 2000 and 2006, there was a significant increase in the number of medical students and every year, 1,000 new physicians will receive their title. During 2007, 1,634 new posts were offered in medical schools, 3,873 in nursing and 5,671 for kinesiology.
There is a disharmonic growth of University teaching in Chile, that will solve historical deficits of professionals such as nurses but will introduce important changes in Chilean medicine.
2006年期间，智利各大学有58.6万名学生，占18至23岁人口的41%。
评估智利卫生保健教学的情况。
根据所教授的知识领域、教学水平、地理位置、学生数量和类型、入学及学费等方面，对6212个专业的数据进行了整理。
智利有537个卫生保健教学项目。其中，231个是针对护理或牙科辅助人员的项目。该系统有60648名注册学生，共收取学费2.5亿美元。只有9.8%的项目获得认证。选择卫生保健专业的学生在全国大学选拔考试（即PSU）中得分最高。2000年至2006年期间，医学生数量显著增加，每年有1000名新医生将获得学位。2007年，医学院提供了1634个新职位，护理专业有3873个，运动机能学专业有5671个。
智利大学教学存在不协调的增长，这将解决护士等专业人员的历史短缺问题，但也将给智利医学带来重大变化。
