This process demonstrated the talent, commitment, and rich diversity of the university community, whose capacity, dedication, and enthusiasm proved up to the challenges of these times. The process began in 2022 and involved all medical sciences university campuses in the country. The objective of the work was to highlight the experience gained by all work teams in compiling self-assessment reports for the institution and the school, as well as the impact achieved in driving medical universities throughout the country to achieve this status. ELAM's international accreditation was the result of a strategic decision in response to the challenges its graduates faced regarding professional and employment recognition in their countries of origin. Supported by previous achievements of excellence at the national level, the institution demonstrated a solid foundation that was strengthened with the technical support of the CEAI, allowing for rigorous planning consistent with international standards.

(Universidad Internacional de La Rioja, 2021) Jhossmar Cristians Auza-Santiváñez; Juan Pablo Jaldín-Vasquez; Zuzel Salazar Duany; Carlos Sánchez Escalante; Luis Mariano Tecualt-Gomez; José Pedro Martínez Larrarte
For more than a century, convalescent plasma has been used as a passive immunization strategy to treat infectious diseases. It has been widely used to treat coronavirus disease under the assumption that such plasma contains potentially therapeutic antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. The objective of this article is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of convalescent plasma for the treatment of COVID-19. Evidence on its use in COVID-19 patients in recent weeks has been supported by more robust and consistent studies. Therefore, we consider that there is insufficient certainty and quality of evidence to recommend the use of convalescent plasma to prevent or treat outpatients or hospitalized patients with COVID-19. More research and solid arguments are needed before regulatory bodies recommend and include it in their protocols.
