ABSTRACT
Objetive: to socialize the results of the environmental diagnosis applied to the Latin American School of Medicine.Materials and methods: The study used techniques such as scientific observation, interviews and surveys that allowed to diagnose the state of the environment and identify the main environmental problems of the university. The results allowed us to characterize the state of the environment and the insertion of the environmental dimension in the substantive processes.
Results: Nowadays there are more and more Higher Education Centers and Medical Sciences Universities that direct their efforts towards the achievement of sustainable development. To do this, work must be done to identify the impacts that its performance generates on the environment and in the search for ways to solve it.
Conclusions: The results of the environmental diagnosis carried out in the ELAM, allowed to identify the main environmental problems. Among them are the contamination of the waters of the sea by dumping of liquid waste, poor management of solid waste and the insufficient management of research and postgraduate courses related to the subject.
