The path of health is too long because the career lasts between six and seven years. One of the reasons is for all the knowledge that must be acquired, in addition to combining theory with practice in hospitals. But one of the most frequently asked questions is about the best medical schools in our country.
The offer of higher education institutions in Mexico is quite wide. Although if you only consider those that offer the career as a General Practitioner the figure is considerably reduced. Either way, there are over a hundred options.
Differences between public and private
With this in mind, one of the most complex decisions is having to choose a specific school to pursue a degree. To get started, Although there are many, it does not mean that they are all the same. The first difference is that some are public and others private.
About the public ones, their main virtue is that they are quite cheap. Tuition fees are minimal and therefore affordable for most families. While at the opposite extreme, their biggest disadvantage is that they are the most requested in our country and there is not room for all those interested.
On the other hand, there are also private universities. In this sector the inscriptions are higher although they vary between each one. In some the payments even reach thousands of pesos for each semester. Therefore, the concern is not to get a place because there are many available but to have enough money to pay the tuition.

Among the most recognized is the annual ranking prepared by the English magazine Times Higher Education. In fact, just a few days ago he presented the results of his work corresponding to this 2022.
What stands out the most is that Within the top 100 places in Latin America there are eight schools from Mexico. Therefore, they are the ones that have managed to stand out and today are considered the best options in the country.
