- The CIFRHS published the call for ENARM 2023 and what is most striking is that there are only 3 official venues.
- From September 26 to 28, thousands of young people will have to attend to take the exam and obtain a place.
- The health emergency continues in Mexico and having more offices would help to avoid crowding.
After many expectations, it was finally published call for the National Examination of Applicants for Medical Residences (ENARM) 2023 and within the information related to the venues has caused confusion. Although first it is necessary to address the general information of this test that is so important for the future of thousands of general doctors who seek to improve themselves.
Professional improvement within the medical union
First of all, the Knowledge updating is an obligation for any health professional. New studies and information appear every day that it is necessary to know in order to always offer the best possible service to patients.
On the other hand, after concluding the Medicine degree there are several paths that can be chosen. Sometimes you can practice the profession directly as a general practitioner. There are places in both public and private hospitals and there are also offices attached to pharmacies.
This is a job of great importance because it is the staff responsible for attending 80% of all medical consultations. In addition, it is not easy to know a little about all the areas to be able to identify the diseases of the patients.
However, you can also choose to extend your academic training. Within this alternative there are several options that can be chosen. From master’s degrees and doctorates to officially valid seminars. Beyond the power of the document that is delivered at the end, the knowledge acquired is of great importance for its application in the workplace.
And finally there is an option that is selected by thousands of general practitioners each year and it is the ENARM. It is a test that broadly speaking is a summary of everything learned during the race. Those who obtain the best scores obtain a place to study a specialty.
The official venues of ENARM 2023
Now it is time to talk about a point that has drawn attention about the call for the test for this year. Unlike the last edition, now the Interinstitutional Commission for the Training of Human Resources for Health (CIFRHS) announced that there are only 3 locations available nationwide.
- Hermosillo, Sonora.
- Leon, Guanajuato.
- Puebla, Puebla.
All applicants who register must go to the designated venue between September 26 and 28, 2023 to take the exam. Now there are various schedules available but what never changes is the large number of young people who attend.

In this sense, last year there were more than 45 thousand applicants who made the payment to have the right to take the exam. Therefore, it can be expected that this time the figure will be even higher.
Is it a good idea to gather thousands of people in the same space for several hours?
However, it cannot be overlooked that the health emergency remains active in our country. Keeping thousands of people together in the same space for several hours does not seem like a good decision. The integrity of each of the applicants is at risk.
Due to the above, it could be thought that the ENARM 2023 should have more official venues throughout the national territory. But regardless of the health of the general practitioners and all the personnel in charge of applying the test, that will not happen.
