Abstract
ABSTRACT The National Exam of Medical Residencies (ENARM) in Mexico is the instrument by which general practitioners are selected for a medical specialty. It is a knowledge test with a multiple-choice questions format, covering basic sciences, clinical sciences and public health. From the first year of its implementation, the exam has evolved, but its structure and clarity has been questioned very often. Besides not all applicants have the same opportunity of being selected perhaps because of, among many others, the distribution of medical schools is not equitable, the disparity of medical education, only 65% of the institutions are accredited, there is little professionalization of teachers, the use of old teaching techniques and the oversubscribed specialties. Thus general practitioners come to this exam with many educational deficiencies that do not allow them to have an easy access to a specialty. Despite the above, it is increasingly notorious the lack of specialists in the medical environment. Many training deficiencies must be corrected, to consider the ENARM as a proper exam. Key words: ENARM, Medical Residencies, National Exam, General Practitioners.
