The MIR 2024 selection process is well underway, with several specialties filling up their quota of places. After the first round of elections on Tuesday, the options for applicants are now reduced to 13 specialties. Allergology, Radiation Oncology, and Psychiatry have already closed their quota of positions, while other specialties like Immunology, Internal Medicine, and Nuclear Medicine have limited availability remaining.
The selection process is divided into three shifts, with candidates choosing their specialties based on their assigned order numbers. Throughout the day, various specialties have seen their positions filled up, with some specialties like Pulmonology, Medical Oncology, Nephrology, Intensive Care Medicine, and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation already exhausted their places. This trend indicates the high demand for certain specialties among MIR applicants.
The radiation Oncology specialty has closed its quota later than last year, while the Spanish Society of General and Family Physicians celebrates the new positions available in Family Medicine. On the other hand, the Internal Medicine specialty continues to attract candidates with its global vision and multidisciplinary approach to healthcare.
Overall, the MIR selection process for 2024 seems to be progressing smoothly, with some specialties filling up quickly while others still have positions available. Applicants are carefully considering their options as they make their decisions on which specialty to pursue in their medical careers.
