Somalynk Education
Clinical knowledge, shared from the inside of practice.
What is Somalynk Education?
Somalynk Education is the knowledge-sharing pillar of our community. It is built on the principle that clinical excellence requires continuous learning — grounded in evidence, shaped by practice, and shared openly.
In 2026, a new academic collaboration with Universidad de Chile bridges clinical practice and research between Brussels and Santiago. In the past, Somalynk Education has collaborated with Universidad Boyacá and Universidad de San Buenaventura (Colombia), Universidad Simón Bolívar and CUR “May Hamilton” (Venezuela), and Universidad San Sebastián (Chile) — bringing real-world cases into the classroom and research insights into the clinic.
