Results: Findings show that 85% and 7% are employed by the Federal District and State of Mexico respectively. Nine out of ten graduates are employed by the country’s principal public institutions (62% in open-population institutions and 29% in social security institutions). 28% are employed as specialist nurses, and 20% assume roles with more responsibilities. 68% perform activities related to the direct management of patients, 21% have administrative duties, and only 1.2% is fully engaged in research.
Discussion: Considering the results, and that graduates hold better labor positions; and in order to promote post-graduate- studies completion, education institutions should keep improving their post-graduate programs and also support their links with the shifting labor markets.
