Our Story

2012

In 2012, the governments of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom joined the International Panel Physician Association (IPPA), strengthening international collaboration in the field of migration medicine.CMI solidifies its leadership in migration medicine research through the publication of scientific articles authored by its medical staff.

2009

Driven by CMI’s commitment to leadership and innovation, Dr. Roberto Manuel Assael founded the International Panel Physician Association (IPPA), an initiative supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This organization was instrumental in standardizing criteria for international migration medical examinations and establishing panel physicians as a recognized medical specialty.In October 2009, CMI inaugurated its new, state-of-the-art facilities in the new consular district of Ciudad Juárez. Strategically located just steps from the U.S. Consulate, the facility significantly optimizes logistics for applicants throughout their immigration process.

2007

Clínica Médica Internacional (CMI) has established itself as a benchmark in migration medicine before the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Consulate General in Ciudad Juárez, collaborating in the standardization of medical processes for residency visas.That same year, CMI served nearly 70% of the Consulate’s applicants. Due to this high volume—one of the largest worldwide—our institution also became a center of excellence and training, receiving physicians from various countries who came to train and implement these standards in their home nations.

2005

Clínica Médica Internacional (CMI) pioneered the establishment of a tuberculosis treatment center using the DOTS (Directly Observed Treatment, Short-course) strategy, providing housing, meals, and medication at no cost to individuals diagnosed during their migration medical examination.

1987

Opening in Ciudad Juárez: On October 27, 1987, Clínica Médica Internacional opened its doors in Ciudad Juárez, launching operations with a service model centered on medical excellence and human warmth. This approach enabled the institution to establish itself, years later, as one of the most prominent clinics in the immigration medical process, recognized both for the quality of service provided and the volume of applicants served.

1985

Founding: Our history dates back to 1985, the year Dr. Roberto Manuel Assael founded Clínica Médica Internacional in Mexico City. This first step marked the beginning of a care model based on medical excellence and innovation—principles that established the foundation of CMI’s leadership in migration medicine.That same year, the U.S. Embassy in Mexico announced that residency visa processing would be consolidated at the U.S. Consulate General in Ciudad Juárez. This decision gave rise to the plan to relocate Clínica Médica Internacional to Ciudad Juárez, a project that would be formally consolidated two years later.

We are proud to be the clinic that serves the largest number of people going through the immigration process in the world.

“We have launched a training program for panel physicians, which includes not only the clinical evaluation of all types of immigrants, but also a course in pulmonary radiology, a two-year master’s degree in public health, and, finally, a 3- to 6-month internship at a tuberculosis hospital in the state of Florida. Thanks to this model, we have been able to train not only our own medical staff but also doctors from other countries.”
