title: [9 reflexions on health and medical education in Mexico].
abstract: In Mexico's case, the fields of healthcare and medical education are closely vinculated. On the other hand, contemporary society lives in a deep transformation process. In the present article, some paradoxes and contrasts in relation to health and medical education characterize the reality in Mexico. Particular emphasis is made on the analysis of the profound differences which exist between the two federative entities which present the extreme figures on life expectancy at birth. The thesis which supports the document, recognizes the need for integral analysis of the organizational and administrative processes of healthcare and medical education in Mexico.
