The Mexican Association of Faculties of Medicine (AMFEM) was founded in April 1957 with the participation of 11 medical schools. Today, along with 115 members, our goal is to be leaders in Academic Medicine driving the continuous development of quality medical education responding to the health needs of our society as well as promoting models of innovation that are articulated with training, service and research, using cutting edge scientific, technological, bioethical and ecologic knowledge, that link the local with the global. AMFEM´s activities include webinars, workshops, national conferences, book editing and promoting, as well as biennial international conferences.
