What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0001180) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 105 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 4.7★ — read the full text below before deciding.

Verify before you pay anyone

  • Recognition and licensing rules change over time. Re-check the current NMC-eligible colleges list and this country's regulations for Mexico yourself before paying anything.
  • Never pay an agent or "seat reservation" fee in cash, or before you have a signed offer letter directly from the university.
  • A guaranteed admission, a discounted "management quota" seat, or pressure to decide within 24 hours are classic pressure tactics — slow down and verify independently.
  • Confirm the medium of instruction, hostel/food costs, and total multi-year fee in writing from the university itself, not only from an agent's brochure.

💬 Student Reviews

Real reviews from students.

Jonathan Osornio

Excellent medical school. Along with the Faculty of Medicine, it's one of the best public institutions for the program. Another important point is that the school has partnerships with the best hospitals in the country: General de México, Siglo XXI, INNN, INER, INP, etc.

Luis Ricalde

Hello! Good morning. I'm interested in studying at your school,
but I'd like to receive information about registration and when to get an application form. Is it a quiet place? I feel like I'd enjoy studying there. Francisca. franciscabejalu@hotmail.com Thank you.

Linda Cortés

The grade is for their students. One would think that those who study here were well-educated by their parents, but apparently not. Students consistently use violence (even digital violence) toward other students, including those from other …

Delgado San Vicente Yael

The school doesn't have a budget to fix the bathrooms, there's no internet, the projectors are broken, the chicken coops don't have air conditioning, and every time the students speak up, the school retaliates—for example, they took away …

Juan Mejia

Excellent facilities, all areas are very clean, and the staff has a top-notch service attitude. If you ask where certain areas are located—departments, the administration, postgraduate studies, etc.—they guide you so easily that it's …

Raúl Olivera Anaya

A great institution, part of the glorious IPN, a training ground for many great doctors, to which I am eternally grateful for having taken my daughter in for seven years, and who today, thanks to God and the ESM, has finally received her …

Alejandro Peña Guevara

It's a relatively small university, but with good facilities. The laboratories are clean and well-maintained, and the auditorium is spacious, hosting various events and performances by students from other Polytechnic institutions. The …

Jorge Avila Cordova

Established in 1936, the IPN is a leading public education institute in Mexico. Its mission is to promote educational opportunities for all and help contribute to the social and economic development of Mexican society. …

Gregorio Gómez

A leading school in its field, with green spaces and impeccable cleanliness. Its extensive and outstanding experience in medical training makes it an academic pillar. It also offers a variety of cultural activities.

Aimeé Montoya

It's my school, and that's why I'd say it's the best, but the building definitely needs more attention, even though they remodeled and repaired it during the pandemic. The cafeteria left a lot to be desired.

Vik Villa

They want something easy, a private school. Here, rankings are earned through hard work and effort. I hope teachers support students more; it's crucial for the development of our future doctors. Huelum!

Blanca Reyes

The facilities are very spacious, hygienic, with perfect lighting, the teaching staff are professionals in every sense of the word; in short, the student body is one of the best in Mexico City.

Luis Angel Rodriguez Lechuga

Excellent medical school, excellent professors, the facilities leave something to be desired but if you know how to take advantage of what they offer, it leaves you very well prepared.

Xavier Rizo

What kind of medicine is studied, what does it involve? I haven't finished high school until 2020, but I want to find out more because I want to study medicine and be prepared.

Fernando Luna

Excuse me, do you know the required GPA required by the IPN (National Institute of Public Administration) to enter the university (on its admissions exam)? Thank you.

Erika santos

Good morning, could you please give me a phone number so I can request information? I need to know when the call is or when I can register. Thank you very much.

Vicario Del Cielo

Good reviews. I will visit these medical centers and see what my health needs are. I hope they have cardiology and angelology specialties. Congratulations.

Luis Eduardo Morales Ruiz

The worst public institution for studying medicine. Terrible professors, terrible administrators. They don't teach and only cause delays in graduation.

Monse Ramírez

The facilities just need remodeling (I'm talking about painting and maintenance of the buildings on their exterior mainly), other than that I love it.

Luis Maldonado

It is one of the leading educational institutions that trains great humanist doctors with a strong sense of responsibility and professionalism.

Rafael Francisco Hernandez

Hello, what medical careers do you offer? I'm in high school and will graduate in 2021, and I'd like some information to help me prepare.

SAUL SOTO LEMUS

IPN administrators haven't repaired the damage for years.

Studying takes place in prefabricated booths because there's no classroom.

O Iniesta H

The school looks great, I'd love to study here. I'm taking the entrance exam next year and I'm going to work hard to get in. :) :D xD

Israel David Lara Montiel

Very good facilities, but like everything at the IPN, they need maintenance.
Note: This is a set from the series "I'm Your Fan."

Itzel Mendoza

Well, no complaints so far, just a suggestion to have more control when entering the campus, since we are still in a pandemic.

Ma. Angeles . ñb. m

I thank each and every one of the teachers for giving the knowledge to my daughter who finishes her medical degree this month.

Evelin Alejandra Pérez Ramirez

Can someone give me general advice on the school's modality? I'm thinking about changing faculties and I need help:)

ISMAEL LOPEZ NAVARRO

Good morning, I'd like to know if you have veterinary services for small animals (dogs) and where. Thank you!

Jorge Guillén Reviews

A pleasant 10-minute walk from the regular metro station and a few blocks from the racetrack. Very safe area.

Alec Avila

It undoubtedly prepares the best doctors in the city; in my opinion, it's the best medical school. ?? …

Adrian Carranco MVP

It's a great medical school, but it needs a lot of maintenance, which would make it more comfortable.

Ken-ichi H

Although it is a short distance, there is a street that has a similar atmosphere to Kyoto University.
