AMPATH México Employment Opportunities

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

Applications are invited from suitable candidates for the anticipated and current vacant positions.

AMPATH/MAPAS México is one partnership within AMPATH Global, a network of universities and academic health centers that collaborate with public sector health systems to ensure essential and equitable health for all people. AMPATH originated with AMPATH Kenya over 30 years ago as a partnership between medical schools at Indiana University in the U.S. and Moi University in Kenya. The AMPATH Consortium has developed and inspired future leaders in healthcare and produced hundreds of published articles—all while successfully responding to healthcare needs in homes, communities, and clinical facilities in western Kenya.

Dell Medical School at the University of Texas at Austin leads the AMPATH Consortium of academic health centers in the AMPATH/MAPAS México partnership with the public sector health care delivery system, Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (BUAP) Facultad de Medicina, and other affiliated institutions in Mexico. AMPATH/MAPAS México leverages the experience of AMPATH Kenya, builds on the strengths of México’s existing healthcare system, and serves as a resource to México’s health and education leaders. This partnership works towards mutually beneficial outcomes for all partners—improving the health and well-being of people in communities in and around México; educating tomorrow’s medical experts worldwide; and jointly researching breakthroughs that will inform improvements in population health around the world.
