Overview
- The Health Ministry, via Decree 555/2026 published Friday, made the Examen Integrado the only route into residency posts and revoked the previous framework.
- The exam will run on tablets with 100 multiple‑choice questions worth one point each, with final order based on a formula that blends the test score with the university average and adds five points for Argentina‑trained graduates, while post‑basic tracks require a minimum of 60 points.
- A new Adherence Committee called CAEI will set content and logistics, choose dates and venues, publish required reading, and validate and grade the tests, with members serving ad honorem.
- Applicants must pre‑register in the SIISA system, present a valid DNI at the exam, show convalidation or a local reválida if they graduated abroad, and may submit documents in person, through an authorized representative, or by post if they live more than 75 km from Buenos Aires, and those who seek a spot must attend an interview at the training site.
- The 2026 calendar fixes exams for June 30 and July 7 with results due July 27–31 and entry on September 1, and the unified system spans national hospitals and agencies with military and private centers such as Garrahan, Posadas, El Cruce, ANMAT, ANLIS, Fundación Favaloro and Hospital Alemán participating.
