Two months later (October 30th) results was published in the website of the CIFRHS. As I wrote before, it is a challenge to get into a residency program. Also, corruption reigns in this exam. O.k. I passed the exam and I’m selected to be a surgical resident.

I'll take it on next September. I agree with your opinion, but here in Mexico this situation is kind different, mainly because of the corruption itself. Another thing that i'll like to change is the opportunities that an individual has to take this test. For example, if you didn't well this time, the next year you can do it again, and again, and again. I knew a guy who did this test about 20 times, he's now 46 years old. It is vox populi, that if you have $20 - $60K pesos (that's between $2 - $6K dollars), you can buy it, that is not fair at all. I can't believe that. It makes me angrier than anything. Semilla:
