Selection process

The medical residency is a compulsory requirement to obtain the title of medical specialist in Spain, whereas the Spanish Ministry of Health regulates the training of resident doctors through specialised health training. Access to these positions is gained by means of entrance exams (MIR exam) and the subsequent public allocation of a position, following the Ministry’s criteria, which are published in the BOE (Official State Gazette) each year.
