The field of health is one of the most extensive that exists and that is why so many years of study are needed. It is also characterized by the fact that high competition prevails. For this reason, it is necessary to have adequate preparation to stand out from the rest. One way to do this is to continue your preparation after you graduate from college. With this in mind, just a few days ago the Call for the National Examination of Applicants for Medical Residences (ENARM) 2022, do you know what specialties are available?
In this sense, it is necessary to remember that it is not the only path that can be taken. There are also options like master’s degrees and seminars. Although if what you are looking for is to become a specialist then it is mandatory to take this exam. In fact, every year there are thousands of young people who sign up to fulfill their dream.
Many applicants but few places available
The main problem is that there are not enough places to cover all the current demand. Each year the number of general practitioners who register increases, while the places available have not had the same growth. As a consequence, there are thousands of young people who are rejected in each edition, regardless of the fact that some have a high score.
For its part, the Interinstitutional Commission for the Training of Human Resources for Health (CIFRHS) is the highest authority on this subject. It is in charge of preparing the different versions of the test that are carried out each year, in addition to answering the doubts of the applicants.
Regarding places, in last year’s edition around 50,000 young people registered but just over 18,000 got a place. With this, not even half managed to meet their goal.
Steps to follow to complete the registration
Now, regarding the general information of the test, the online pre-registration process begins on April 11. From that day on, the portal will be enabled to start with the first part of this long process.
While the test will be held from September 27 to 29. Although a clarification is that its application will be subject to the instructions and measures that the health authorities determine in relation to the health emergency by Covid-19. With this in mind, it is possible that there will be changes if there is a reversal of the epidemiological traffic light.
For its part, the ENARM 2022 call indicates that there are 27 medical specialties available. As happened last year, the procedure has now been reversed. This means that now the exam is presented first and then an option is chosen. In any case, it is worth knowing the alternatives available from the beginning.
This decision is of great relevance because it marks the future of each health professional. Although some have a fixed decision from the moment they enter the university, others make it throughout their training.
