After the three days of application of the National Examination of Applicants to Medical Residencies (ENARM) 2021 now follows an equally important stage. It is about the choice of specialty and this time it will be quite different from past editions. While there were some trial days, October 14-20 will be the official dates when the process must be completed. Although one of the most frequent questions of the applicants is about the available places.
In that sense, the Ministry of Health (SSa) previously announced that this year’s exam will be the largest in history. With this, he assured that 30 thousand places would be offered although to date it has not been specified how they will be distributed among the 27 available specialties.
Therefore, and as an alternative, a person designed a Telegram group in which the number of places available in ENARM 2021 is communicated in real time. The information is taken from the applicants themselves as they register and choose a specialty. It is also constantly updated to have the data updated instantly.
To be able to access the channel and receive notifications, you just have to give click on this link. Although it is not an official medium at the moment, it is the only option to get an idea of the general panorama about this year’s edition.

Now, according to the information presented there are several aspects to highlight. In the first instance there are three specialties that have already sold out the available places and they are the following:

- Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery.
While Physical Activity and Sports Medicine, Preventive Medicine and Traumatology and Orthopedics are the next to reach their limit. Therefore it can be considered that they are practically also exhausted.
On the other hand, at the opposite extreme are the specialties that have been least requested in ENARM 2021. Based on the information presented, these are Anesthesiology, Emergency Medicine and Family Medicine. For each one there are thousands of places available at the moment.
