FMVZ also publishes multiple peer-reviewed academic journals (Veterinaria México, Clínica Veterinaria, Infovet, IMAVET, Ciencia Veterinaria) and provides educational materials across departments covering physiology, genetics, microbiology, pathology, parasitology, reproduction, and nutrition.

As a public government-funded institution, FMVZ does not generate commercial revenue. Tuition is subsidized by the Mexican government, and operations are funded through UNAM's central public funding structure. The institution employs 73 people and operates under UNAM's administrative and academic governance with no independent shareholders or venture capital backing. Its go-to-market is academic recruitment through UNAM's centralized admissions system and continuing education outreach to the Mexican veterinary professional community.
