The process of the National Examination of Applicants for Medical Residencies (ENARM) 2021 has been quite different from that of previous years. This time the order was reversed and for the first time the specialty must be chosen after presenting the test and not before. Therefore, from October 14 to 20 is the period in which each of the applicants must complete this step.
With the above in mind, all the young people who took the exam have started with the specialty choice stage. Many of them have used social networks to share this moment and the reactions have been of all kinds. Some are happy and optimistic because they got the first numbers thanks to their score. While others have been disappointed because they fear not reaching a place.
All options available
Now, according to what has been disclosed by the Interinstitutional Commission for the Training of Human Resources in Health (CIFRHS), this year 30 thousand places will be awarded. The only thing that has been explained is that from this figure there are a thousand scholarships to continue with studies in Cuba. But what remains to be defined is the way in which they will be distributed among the 27 available specialties.
- Pathological anatomy.
- Anesthesiology
- Audiology, Otoneurology and Phoniatrics.
- Quality of Clinical Care.
- General Surgery.
- Epidemiology.
- Medical Genetics.
- Geriatrics.
- Gynecology and Obstetrics.
- Imaging, Diagnostic and Therapeutic.
- Medicine of Physical Activity and Sports.
- Rehabilitation Medicine.
- Emergency Medicine.
- Work and Environmental Medicine.
- Family Medicine.
- Internal Medicine.
- Legal Medicine.
- Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging.
- Preventive medicine.
- Pneumology.
- Ophthalmology.
- Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery.
- Clinical Pathology.
- Pediatrics.
- Psychiatry.
- Radio Oncology.
- Traumatology and orthopedics.
On the other hand, beyond the score obtained, one of the adversities that must be faced is that some specialties offer fewer places than others. Therefore, they are among the most disputed and that causes even those who achieve a good performance to be rejected.
Based on what happened last year In Legal Medicine, only five places were awarded. While a similar panorama is lived in Preventive Medicine, Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Medicine of Physical Activity and Sports and Quality of Clinical Care.
For now, we share some of the messages published by doctors on social networks who have already chosen their specialty in ENARM 2021.
