Dr. Paul Roberts wanted the hospital to be a teaching hospital that could help improve health care in Ecuador.
A nursing school was opened at the hospital in 1956. Ecuadorian doctors and surgeons were given practical medical training as well.
In 1978, Hospital Vozandes-Quito began formally training medical students from the Catholic University in Cuenca. Three other universities now send students to the hospital’s medical residency program.
