Spain Completes MIR Allocation and Assigns All 12,362 Specialist Training Posts

Completing the national adjudication clears the way for early‑June incorporations, triggers an extraordinary second‑round to fill later vacancies, and sharpens focus on primary care pressures and resident demands.

Overview

  • The Ministry of Health finished the national MIR/FSE adjudication on Wednesday, May 27, assigning every one of the 12,362 offered specialist training plazas and scheduling take‑up of posts for June 4–5.
  • As a follow‑up the ministry will run an extraordinary repesca procedure to fill any vacancies that emerge after incorporations, with a resolution and detailed instructions to be published on its website in the coming weeks.
  • The last plaza nationally was a Medicina Familiar y Comunitaria post in Ferrol assigned on May 27, highlighting that family medicine — 2,544 places offered this year — accounted for much of the late selection activity.
  • Resident groups and teaching societies welcomed full allocation but warned the outcome does not solve structural problems: semFYC urged a structural reading of the data and Asociación MIR España said it may call an indefinite residents’ strike from September if verifiable improvements to supervision and working conditions are not secured.
  • Regional results underline uneven pressures in the system: Galicia offered 207 family‑medicine places and will for the first time train six MIR in Urgencias y Emergencias, a milestone that officials say must come with proper tutors, clear training itineraries and limits on excessive on‑call or service loads to protect learning and retention.
