OMI MEX Seminars

OMI MEX is a joint initiative between the Open Medical Institute (OMI) and Alianza Médica para la Salud (AMSA), a non-profit and non-governmental organization based in Mexico City. The OMI MEX seminars are three-day intensive courses in different areas of medicine, which take place in Mexico City, Mexico and Oaxaca, Mexico throughout the calendar year. Each medical specialty is divided into two or three related modules, which rotate on an annual basis based on the OMI curricula. Each seminar consists of state-of-the-art lectures, case presentations, and roundtable discussions. The OMI MEX seminars are offered to highly qualified, English-speaking physicians from Latin America.
