With the objective of evaluating and accrediting the quality of medical education in the country, the Mexican Association of Medical Schools initiated the National Programme for the Strengthening of the Quality of Medical Education (PNFCE). This programme led to the establishment of the National System of Accreditation. Medical school deans in Mexico determined the criteria for the evaluation of quality and its subsequent standards through a consensus process. The following 10 criteria resulted: general basis and educational objectives; government and institutional orientation; educational programme and academic structure; educational process assessment; students; teaching staff; institutional coherence; resources; clinical sites; and administration. Eighty-eight standards were developed in the instrument designed for the self-evaluation phase. The information resulting from the self-evaluation will be verified by a group of experts during a survey visit, which will be finalized with a report to serve as the basis for the decision to be made by the Accreditation Commission. The self-evaluation phase started in 1994. In 1996 four schools submitted their request for accreditation. As of July 1996, one survey visit has been completed and three more are programmed for the second half of the year.
为评估和认证本国医学教育的质量，墨西哥医学院协会启动了国家医学教育质量强化计划（PNFCE）。该计划促成了国家认证体系的建立。墨西哥医学院的院长们通过协商一致的过程确定了质量评估标准及其后续标准。由此产生了以下10项标准：总体基础与教育目标；政府与机构导向；教育计划与学术结构；教育过程评估；学生；教师；机构连贯性；资源；临床实习点；以及管理。在为自我评估阶段设计的工具中制定了88项标准。自我评估得出的信息将在考察访问期间由一组专家进行核实，考察访问最终将形成一份报告，作为认证委员会决策的依据。自我评估阶段始于1994年。1996年，有四所学校提交了认证申请。截至1996年7月，已完成一次考察访问，计划在下半年再进行三次。
