• AMIR (Grupo CTO affiliate): AMIR is a Spain-based medical training company specializing in MIR exam prep and continuing medical education, directly competing for the same physician-learner audience as IFMiL with both online and in-person formats.
• Fundación para la Formación de la OMC (FFOMC): FFOMC is the Spanish Medical Doctors' Organisation foundation dedicated to CME for physicians across Spain. Comparable to IFMiL in mission, institutional backing (national medical college system), and CME focus, though operating nationally rather than regionally.

Broad incumbents

• Editorial Médica Panamericana: Long-established Spanish-language medical publisher and education provider offering textbooks, accredited courses, and CME to physicians across Latin America and Spain.
