Similarly, a few days ago there was a modification regarding the days for the application of ENARM 2021.

Everything is because for the first time there will be morning and evening hours to make the most of the time. In this way, from September 28 to 30, the test will take place.
While a question that to date remains in the entire medical community is about the number of places that will be granted this year. Until now, no official response has been given, but President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has just made an official announcement.
The ENARM 2021 with more places in history
To continue with his policy of ending the deficit of specialists in the country, he said that this year there will be a new increase in the number of places awarded. Thus, on this occasion 30 thousand places will be offered, which marks a new all-time high.
In that sense, he recalled that at the beginning of his administration nine thousand places were offered. While by 2020 the figure doubled to reach 20 thousand places. While in 2021 another 10,000 will be added to give a total of 30,000 spaces for general practitioners to do their residencies.
“In the case of health, it is a fundamental human right, that is why we must continue to promote everything that is the public health system, not oppose the existence of private doctors, private hospitals, but the government is obliged to guarantee health, education quality public, universally. That is a hallmark of this new government, that it does not charge for medical care. “
What he did not specify is the total number of scholarships to continue training abroad. It is an innovation that started in 2019 although there were many shortcomings. The biggest complaint from the applicants was that it was only available for six specialties and the only country with which an agreement was reached was Cuba. As a result, more than 80 percent of the young people who got a place turned it down.
On the other hand, the next logical question is how so many doctors will be accommodated. To achieve this, AMLO said that it is essential to end the construction of hospitals throughout the country because they will be the places where residents will complete their professional training.
