A Brief History of Mexico by The World Factbook 2005
The site of advanced Amerindian civilizations, Mexico came under Spanish rule for three centuries before achieving independence early in the 19th century. A devaluation of the peso in late 1994 threw Mexico into economic turmoil, triggering the worst recession in over half a century. The nation continues to make an impressive recovery. Ongoing economic and social concerns include low real wages, underemployment for a large segment of the population, inequitable income distribution, and few advancement opportunities for the largely Amerindian population in the impoverished southern states. Elections held in July 2000 marked the first time since the 1910 Mexican Revolution that the opposition defeated the party in government, the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). Vicente FOX of the National Action Party (PAN) was sworn in on 1 December 2000 as the first chief executive elected in free and fair elections. Read More

About UAG Medical School
The UAG School of Medicine strives to produce physicians who are compassionate as well as capable of treating illness. The faculty recognizes that performance as a physician requires not only intellectual skills but also certain personal characteristics and behavior that reflect sensitivity to human needs. The curriculum and instructional methods are designed to develop and enhance these qualities in each student. The curriculum is comprehensive, helping the student develop the skills of problem-solving and the discipline of self-education, both of which must continue throughout his or her career. The curriculum is diversified enough for the student to make knowledgeable decisions on which specialty area or areas each wishes to pursue after graduation. It is sufficiently varied so that the student learns to adapt to the different environments in which each will have to practice medicine. Yet, it is structured in such a way that the student obtains sufficient depth in each basic science and clinical area of study.
Two additional carefully constructed programs have become of tremendous help to the student's progress within the curriculum of the School of Medicine. One is the Program of Medicine in the Community. The second program is the on-campus CICB (Integrated Course in the Basic Sciences), a basic-sciences review for students who have completed two years. This review course is thoroughly comprehensive in the material it covers, plus it presents the very latest information and techniques in test-analysis and self-improvement. The course will help the student see where each needs further study and will at the same time help in systematically reviewing the various basic sciences previously studied. |
