Overview

  • All 9,007 MIR slots were claimed by May 28 after four weeks of selections, marking the first full allocation in five years.
  • Family and Community Medicine recorded full uptake of its 2,509 positions after regional services expanded quotas to address primary care shortages.
  • Valencia, Murcia, Castilla-La Mancha, Galicia and other autonomous communities each reported 100% coverage of their MIR offerings.
  • Regional authorities credit the shift to hybrid online and in-person selections and the elimination of the cutoff score for driving higher candidate participation.
  • Medical societies and officials caution that sustained growth in training quotas and targeted incentives will be needed to replace an aging physician workforce.
