After receiving his first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, President Laurentino Cortizo Cohen said the resolution setting a lower base certification score in family medicine will be withdrawn.

“Soon, but it will no doubt be withdrawn,” the president said after exiting the 15-minute protocol check when he was vaccinated against COVID-19. He adds that the approval rate should be increased again.

The publication of Resolution 1 of March 3, 2021, which “establishes, temporarily and until the state of national emergency is lifted, the minimum score for approval for the basic certification exam in medicine,” led to a general rejection of the country’s medical community. .

According to the resolution published in the official Gazette As of Friday, March 5, the minimum score for the Basic Medical Certification Exam is determined to be 360, which corresponds to the settled percentage of 34.5%.

The second article states that the rate will be reconsidered by the Interinstitutional Council for Basic Certification in Medicine once the state of emergency is lifted.
