Although it is not mandatory, every year thousands of general practitioners take the National Examination of Applicants for Medical Residencies (ENARM). Everything stems from their aspirations to become specialists to continue their professional training. This way they can focus on a specific area that they are most comfortable with. While another of the motivations is to be able to access more attractive salaries. Although for all that to happen they must first pass this complicated test. Do you know which are the colleges that usually get the highest scores?
In this sense, it is necessary to remember that just a few days ago the edition corresponding to 2021 was held. There were three days divided into two shifts during which more than 53 thousand applicants attended.
The test is not over yet
Although each of the doctors who presented the ENARM already know their qualification, the list with the selected pages has not yet been published. While thanks to the historical records of the Interinstitutional Commission for the Training of Human Resources for Health (CIFRHS) it is possible to know what happened last year in general terms.
In that sense, one of the most frequently asked questions is about the universities with the highest scores. Even among medical personnel who do not present the test, it is an attractive topic.
Who succeeds in the exam?
With the above in mind, based on the latest information corresponding to ENARM 2020, it is possible to meet the schools with the best results. The official list indicates that the winners were the following:
- Panamerican University – 69.76
- Technological Institute of Higher Studies Monterrey Campus Jalisco – 67.85
- Instituto Tecnológico de Estudios Superiores Monterrey Campus CDMX – 65.93
- Instituto Tecnológico de Estudios Superiores Monterrey Campus Monterrey – 64.36
- Autonomous University of San Luis Potosí – 64.07
When observing the results, the dominance of private schools is evident when obtaining the first four places. In fact, in the most recent editions of the ENARM, the dispute is always between the Universidad Panamericana and the different campuses of the Tecnológico de Monterrey.
While the Autonomous University of San Luis Potosí was the only public school that managed to appear among the first places.
Now, a phenomenon that was presented in last year’s edition was a decrease in scores. Some have pointed to the increase in places as a possible reason. Because there are now more chances of obtaining a residency, it could lead to overconfidence in young people.
For its part, it is necessary to remember that 30 thousand places were promised for ENARM 2021, within which there will be a thousand scholarships to study the specialty in Cuba. With this, almost half of the applicants will be guaranteed a space to continue with their professional training.
