After months of waiting, the day most feared and expected by health professionals in our country finally arrived. The application of the National Examination of Applicants to Medical Residences (ENARM) 2021 has already started and as always there are many expectations. From September 28 to 30, thousands of young people are expected to come to their corresponding headquarters to present this complex test. But now a constant doubt is about the publication of the selected folios and the change regarding the choice of specialty.
In the first instance, it is necessary to point out the aspects that are the same as the previous editions. At the time of finishing the exam, each applicant is given a sheet with their obtained score. It is essential to keep this document because it is the key to continue with the process.
When is the specialty chosen?
Now, the biggest novelty of ENARM 2021 is that for the first time the specialty must be chosen after presenting the test. With this in mind, from October 8 to 13, a procedure will be carried out for each applicant to define the priority of their specialties. While from October 14 to 20 you should select only one of your preference.
This new stage has raised several doubts. Especially since it is suspected that some young people may not choose the true specialty of their preference but rely on their results to select one in which low scores prevail.
Publication of selected pages
Finally, on October 24, the list with the folios of the doctors who approved the ENARM 2021 will be published. It is important to remember that only through the official website of the Interinstitutional Commission for the Training of Human Resources in Health (CIFRHS) you can review this information. Usually it is always after 10 pm when the results are published.
Based on what happened in previous years, it is necessary to mention that there is usually a high demand on the server on the day the selected pages are released. For this reason, it is possible that the page is faulty or does not load. In such a way, in case you cannot enter, the ideal is to wait a few minutes until you get it.
While during the first week of November the selection certificate will be delivered to all applicants who have passed the exam. From here a new process begins in which each doctor must go to the hospital of their choice to request a place.
