About the National Medical Exam
The ENAM has been applied continuously since 2003. Since 2006, taking this test has been a requirement for applying to the National Medical Residency System and currently awards points in the respective admission contest. Likewise, the grade obtained represents 70% of the grade used to distribute positions in the Marginal Urban Rural Health Service (SERUMS). Among its objectives are to evaluate the sufficiency of knowledge in basic sciences, clinical sciences, and public health attained by graduating medical students, to provide objective information to participants on their performance in the national test, and to establish a valid and objective national benchmark for the evaluation of medical knowledge.
