【 摘 要 】

Medical education in Mexico is heterogeneous since there are more than 140 public and private Schools and Faculties of medicine, with particular Programs and characteristics. However, the predominant educational model is the traditional initial training in basic sciences followed by clinical practice, some of them, with incorporation in their programs of competencies instead of objectives and attention to learning more than teaching. In postgraduate training there is greater uniformity, since although there is diversity in the Programs, a significant number follows the program of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), since about 50% of the students of specialty are enrolled in this University. There are other programs in some State Universities and Private Universities.What stands out for being uniform throughout the country is the National Medical Residency System, since the process of incorporation and development of the process are regulated by the Interinstitutional Commission for the Training of Human Resources in Health (CIFRHS). An organization made up of representatives of educational and health institutions, which has among its functions the elaboration and application of the National Examination of Aspirants for Medical Residencies (ENARM), and the intervention in the training process, highlighting the great disproportion between the demand of these postgraduate studies and the capacity of supply.
