Our beginnings: The vision that gave rise to the current medical migration process
In 1985, Dr. Roberto Assael opened the first Clinica Medica Internacional in Mexico City. At that time, there were several authorized clinics throughout the country that applied immigration medical exams to the USA, such as Guadalajara, Tijuana, Monterrey, Mexico City, and Ciudad Juárez.
Faced with this reality, the U.S. Embassy in Mexico announced that the residency visa procedures would be concentrated in the U.S. Consulate General in Ciudad Juárez. This decision led to the plan to relocate the Clinica Medical Internacional (CMI) to the border city, a project that would be formally consolidated two years later.
On October 27, 1987, Clínica Médica Internacional opened its doors in Ciudad Juárez with a model of care focused on medical excellence and human warmth. The first months presented a significant challenge; establishing a presence in the market and competing required unwavering determination from the founding team.
They firmly believe in their vision of offering reliable, safe immigration medical services in accordance with the standards and requirements authorized by the American Consulate of Cd: Juárez and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
With this vision, in a few years, Clínica Médica Internacional (CMI) became one of the most important clinics worldwide in the migratory medical process, both in terms of number of applicants it served and the quality of care provided.

Throughout these more than 40 years, Clínica Médica Internacional has established itself as the clinic with the largest number of applicants for residence visas to the United States in the world, complying with the precision and guidelines required by the CDC, the Consulate General of the United States, and ACIP (Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices). guaranteeing the delivery of valid results for each applicant who visits us.
