Metro Doctores is a station on Line 8 of the Mexico City Metro.[1][2][3]

Its logo is the silhouette of two doctors.[1][2] The station is named after Colonia Doctores, the neighborhood in which it is located, whose streets commemorate famous doctors of the era of La Reforma.[1]

On 7 March 2007 a 30-year-old woman committed suicide at the station by throwing herself onto the tracks.[4] Service on the line was suspended for 20 minutes.[4]
