One of the biggest doubts that have arisen about the National Examination of Applicants for Medical Residencies (ENARM) 2024 is the one related to the number of places that will offer. It is one of the most important points because it allows you to have a general idea of the probability of obtaining a space within the hospitals.
A few days ago the Interinstitutional Commission for the Training of Human Resources for Health (CIFRHS) published the official call. Opinions among the medical community have not ended and there are all types. From those who complain about the chosen venues to the reactions by the new medical specialty which was included for the first time.
How many places will ENARM 2024 offer?
First of all, it is time to talk about the possible total number of places that will be offered at ENARM 2024. It has not yet been released and is usually information that is published until after the exam has been administered.
Although something that can be done from now on is to analyze what happened last year to have a parameter. As a general rule, the number should be slightly higher but never lower.
