Broad incumbents

• Ser Educacional: Large Brazilian private higher-education group operating UNINASSAU and UNG, with a meaningful medical school portfolio across multiple states. Comparable as a multi-campus private medical education consolidator.
• Cogna Educação: Brazilian education conglomerate with K-12 and higher-education segments including medical programs through UniNorte and Kroton. Comparable as a large-scale education platform operator in Brazil.
• Yduqs (formerly Estácio): One of Brazil's largest private education groups with medical school offerings alongside broader higher-education programs. Comparable in scale and as a public-market analog to Afya.
• Anima Educação: Private Brazilian higher-education group with medical programs (e.g., Universidade São Judas). Comparable as a multi-state private education operator with health sciences offerings.

Regional players

• Universidade Vale do Rio Verde (UninCor): Private university in Minas Gerais with health sciences offerings. Comparable as a regional Minas Gerais higher-education competitor to FMIT's undergraduate nursing and psychology programs.
• Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI): Public federal university headquartered in Itajubá, MG. While it does not host a medical school, it competes for the same student pool and faculty talent in the immediate Itajubá market.
