Currently there are 27 direct entry specialties in Mexico, in addition to others that are indirect, subspecialties and highly specialized.
Other options to continue with postgraduate studies are seminaries, master’s degrees and doctorates.
General practitioners can also practice their profession directly because they are in charge of attending to 80% of all consultations.
The training within the field of health is too complete and extensive. Many years of study are required, but it is also possible to continue with the preparation through one of the medical specialties available. But have you ever wondered what are the choices that the new generations would never make?
In this vein, the most common is that students develop a taste for a specific one during their stay at the university, boarding school or social service. There are also others who, even before entering higher education, have already defined their future.
On the other hand, it should also be considered that Not all young people are interested in continuing their training with one of the existing medical specialties. In fact, there are cases in which they are clearer about the option that they would never take instead of one that they would.
What medical specialty would you ever do?
With this in mind, the Argentine doctor Thomas Vallauri conducted an experiment. He directly asked several students in the last semesters of the Medicine career about the specialty that they are not interested in doing and the reasons. In the end he got mixed responses.

Among those mentioned are Otorhinolaryngology because it is indicated that it is very repetitive because most of the cases it treats are otitis and deviated septum. It is also found Gynecology and Obstetrics because shifts are exhausting because deliveries can occur at any time. Finally, General Surgery because it is said that surgeons have too big an ego and lack humility.
What is required to be a specialist?
Now, beyond the opinions expressed in the videos, in the case of general doctors who want to be specialists, there is a mandatory test that they must meet. Its about National Examination of Applicants for Medical Residencies (ENARM) and due to the high competition it is necessary to get a high score.
For its part, it is also necessary to remember that it is not the only option for postgraduate studies. There are also seminars, masters and doctorates. It is also possible to study a specialty abroad. In the case of the United States, the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) and in Spain that of Resident Internal Physician (MIR).
