A reward to their effort and a job well done. This is the conclusion after the good results obtained by the students of the Degree in Medicine of the Universidad Católica de Murcia in the Internal Medicine Resident examination held last January.

98% of UCAM graduates from this sixth year of the Degree in Medicine passed the exam, a similar rate to previous years and higher than the national average of those who passed the cut-off mark in this year's exams.  Furthermore, in addition to this success, several of its students have obtained excellent results, such as Arturo Jesús Ansón, who has reached the 124th place in Spain. This makes it possible for the majority of UCAM graduates to choose a speciality.  This year, 12,721 people sat the MIR exam for a total of 8,772 places. 

This makes it possible for the majority of UCAM graduates to choose a speciality.

This data once again reflects the excellent academic training received by UCAM students. This is the result of the use of cutting-edge technologies, especially in clinical simulation, a teaching body committed to student training, high-quality external internships that complement on-campus training and innovative assessment methods.   

Jerónimo Lajara, Dean of the UCAM Faculty of Medicine congratulated all the students and encouraged them to continue the line of work, effort and commitment they have acquired during their training at University when treating patients. 

UCAM graduates of the five previous classes who passed the MIR have carried out their speciality, or are doing so, in reference hospitals throughout Spain, from Cadiz to San Sebastian, including Seville, Malaga, Jaen, Valencia, Granada, Alicante, Madrid, Segovia, Las Palmas de Gran Canarias and Murcia. Examples of these hospitals are the Gregorio Marañón, Hospital Clínico, La Paz and Ramón y Cajal in Madrid, and all those in the Region of Murcia. They have chosen the specialities of Anaesthesiology and Resuscitation, Internal Medicine, Paediatrics, Ophthalmology, Psychiatry or Family and Community Medicine, among others. Nonetheless, there are UCAM students in almost all medical specialties.
