To be a health professional it is necessary to have values such as honesty and they must always prevail. Not only within the office but in all aspects of life. Despite the temptations that may appear, the right thing to do is to follow the path of righteousness because otherwise the entire guild is affected. All of this is brought up by a public complaint in which it is stated that There is already the sale of places for the National Examination of Applicants to Medical Residences (ENARM) 2022.
In the first instance, it should be remembered that all kinds of inconsistencies have been reported in past editions of this test. In fact, It was in 2006 when the first suspicions of this illegal practice were presented, although at the time the authorities denied it. Since then, cases have occurred that have compromised the integrity of the exam.
What is ENAR?
It was applied for the first time in 1977 and since then it has been a general knowledge measurement instrument designed for doctors. It is a test that must be presented by all general practitioners wishing to become specialists. The body that regulates and administers it is the Interinstitutional Commission for the Training of Human Resources for Health (CIFRHS).
It consists of 450 reagents, of which 400 correspond to clinical cases from the medical area presented in Spanish. While the remaining 50 are in English. Currently it works as a filter to select only the most qualified doctors to continue their professional training.
The biggest problem is that despite the increase in recent years in available places, they are still not enough. Due, six out of 10 applicants do not get a place and see their dream of being specialists truncated.
Again there are suspicions of illegal practices
But now a new inconvenience is added because although the official process for ENARM 2022 has not yet begun, the sale of places through social networks has already been denounced. In this case everything was exposed by the doctor known on social media as “Dr. Royer” through his Youtube channel.
Based on what you mention, there is a Facebook profile of a person named “Bernal Sanchez” who offers this illegal “help”. Through screenshots, it shows the message that has been published in various groups of doctors that exist in this social network. The transcript of the comment is as follows:
PASS DIRECTLY TO THE RESIDENCE OF YOUR INTEREST
Registration has already opened to enter the medical residency March 2023.
Take advantage of the registration COST with PROMOTION.
It is not necessary to present the Enarm exam, go directly to the specialty and headquarters of your interest.
The message is accompanied by a WhatsApp number where more information can be requested. According to the complaint made by the doctor, the cost is five thousand pesos and in exchange a place is guaranteed without the need to take the exam.
In this regard, it is necessary to emphasize that the sale of places for the ENARM 2022 is an illegal practice. It is a crime and both the offerer and the payer can be severely punished. For the same reason, it is not worth falling for this type of deception that takes advantage of the doctors’ needs.
Similarly, it is necessary to remember that at this time the official call for ENARM 2022 has not yet been published. Based on what happened in previous years, it is possible that During the first two weeks of April, all the details will be published on the CIFRHS website.
For now, we share the video of “Dr. Royer” about the presumed sale of places for the ENARM 2022. And remember never to fall for this type of scam that affects the entire health profession.
