He received his MD from the National University of Mexico (UNAM) Faculty of Medicine and visited the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, United States, from 1924 to 1925, where he received a diploma.

Upon his return to Mexico he started the nutrition department in Mexico City's General Hospital, and later received an assignment to start the National Institute of Nutrition (now the Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Médicas y de la Nutrición Salvador Zubirán, or INNSZ), one of the country's premier medical institutions. Zubirán also served as the rector of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) during the 1940s; during this appointment, he was very influential in the creation of the University City.
