After receiving the first dose of COVID-19 vaccine, President Laurentino Cortizo Cohen said the resolution setting a lower score for basic certification in general medicine would be repealed.

“Soon, but it will no doubt be repealed,” the president said after leaving 15 minutes of protocol surveillance when he was vaccinated against COVID-19. He added that the approval rate must be increased again.

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

According to the resolution, which was published in Official Gazette as of Friday, March 5, it is established that the minimum passing score for the basic certification exam in medicine is 360, which corresponds to the equalized percentage of 34.5%.

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