The Medicine It requires vocation, effort and sacrifice from the first moment, or even before. Accessing this university degree is not an easy task, since the cut-off mark necessary to achieve it borders on perfection, both in Baccalaureate as in EBAU. However, those who tirelessly pursue this dream arrive at university in many cases without knowing issues related to the National Health System (SNS) and to the medical profession such as 24-hour guards, the MIR exam or the range of medical specialties available to them.

The majority of high school students who want to study this university degree share the desire to “help others.” This is what moves Cristina Casado2nd year high school student at Secondary Education Institute (IES) Las Musas, Madrid. There are also those who awaken their vocation from personal experiences, like their classmate and centerValentina Argüello. “In 2019, my grandfather died of lung cancer and it was a very hard blow. I believed that I could help other people who were going through a situation similar to mine, or at least be on the other side,” he says.

High School students talk about the MIR and the guards

When asked about the Specialized Sanitary Training (FSE) and specifically the MIR exam, the majority of high school students acknowledge having been informed through social networks such as TikTok. Elena Lozano, Still in the first year of Baccalaureate at the same center, he knows that it is a “very difficult” test to choose a specialty, although he believes that the ‘reward’ is to “work” at it, and not access a training place with an expiration date. expiration.

Natalia Pescador, Lozano’s colleague, goes one step further and assures that she has heard about the preparation, the academies or the duration of the test and the reception after it. Alba Rangel, student from the same class, adds that some specialties are more valued than others and, therefore, it is more difficult to access them.

One of the biggest surprises for all these students has been the operation of the 24 hour medical guardsone of the great unknowns outside the health field. Lozano acknowledges that he had never heard it before, and predicts that they consist of “watching for a long time.” Upon knowing the true mechanism of it, this student has recognized, astonished, that it is something “very hard.” His partner Claudia Seano Yes, he knew, broadly speaking, what the methodology of these days was, and he alludes to vocation as the driving force to face them. For his part, Casado considers that it is “a little exaggerated for the beginner doctors“, and that “puts their sleep hours and their ability to care for patients at risk.” =”600″ height=”240″ layout=”responsive” alt=”AMP”>

With the EBAU getting closer and closer, several of them have contemplated what would happen if they could not achieve the necessary grade for Medicine. Celia Sancheza 1st year Baccalaureate student, considers two alternatives: entering Medicine through vocational training or studying other careers such as Vet o one Double Degree in Psychology and Criminology. Argüello has this assumption very much in mind, and has also drawn up a “plan B” that consists of studying Nursing or, like Sánchez, accessing medical training through a Higher Degree.
