Overview
- The Health Ministry detailed the new integrated residency exam Thursday, switching to a 100‑question multiple‑choice test taken on tablets at designated sites.
- Key dates are set: June 30 for nursing, biochemistry and post‑basic exams, July 7 for medicine, July 27–31 for results, and September 1 for the start of residencies.
- A new committee, the CAEI led by the National Directorate for Health Talent, will define official content, reading lists, and evaluation criteria for all specialties.
- Rules keep a 5‑point bonus for degrees earned in Argentina only for the merit ranking, require an interview at the training site for assignment, and set a 60‑point minimum to pass post‑basic exams.
- The digital exam covers national hospitals and now includes military and private centers such as Garrahan, Posadas, El Cruce, Sommer, ANMAT, ANLIS, Fundación Favaloro, Hospital Alemán, FLENI and others, following last week's Resolution 542 that made the National Residency Scholarship the sole contract model.
