Abstract

Following a report by the Ministry of Health (MOH) to realize the lack of specialists at national level (1), the National Commission of Medical Residency (CONAREME) expanded the number of vacancies for residentado throughout the country, so that even it extended to two admission processes last year. If it is true, the lack of specialists demanded concrete measures to improve the coverage of health care in Peru, is also true that they must go hand in hand with an adequate planning of growth in terms of quality of training, so that ensure that the education received by the new residents is with minimum quality standards (2).
