How to name us
Like this, please
TecMedHub
- One word, with capital T, M and H.
- First mention: TecMedHub, a multidisciplinary applied science lab born in the School of Medical Technology at Universidad Austral de Chile, Puerto Montt Campus.
Better to avoid
- “TechHub”, “TecHub”, “TecnoHub” or any variant without the “Med”. We are not just any tech hub: the “Med” comes from Medical Technology and is half of our name.
- “TecMedHUB”, “Tecmedhub” or “Tec Med Hub”.
- Leaving out the name and writing just “a UACh lab”: then nobody can find us afterwards.
On social media
If you post about us, make it easy for people to find us with one tap.
