Overview
- The Ministry of Health published the official orden de mérito on Friday, ranking candidates by a formula that combines the Examen Integrado score and undergraduate average.
- The Examen Integrado was run fully digital for the first time with identity checks, continuous monitoring and cryptographic recording, and more than 3,900 professionals sat the test.
- Graduates of Argentine national universities received an explicit five-point bonus and occupy the vast majority of top places, with 98% of the top 100 scores coming from those institutions.
- Candidates can file formal appeals through the ministry’s online form until August 8 at 17:00, after which the process moves to public adjudication of posts and institution-led interviews starting August 17.
- New training sites including PAMI facilities, military and naval hospitals and INMAE are now part of the allocation process, and admitted residents are scheduled to begin on September 1, marking a centralized, standardized shift in how specialist training is assigned.
