Students warn of failures in the boarding platform

Medical students raised concerns about issues with the internship placement platform after reports of early access to information. Maria Fontão, president of the National Association of Medical Students (ANEM), stated they are still trying to understand the extent of the problem. The Central Administration of the Health System (ACSS) clarified that a technical simulation caused temporary visibility of non-official results, which do not affect the placement process. The deadline for candidates to submit their preferences is today at 23:59. ANEM has received reports and evidence from candidates regarding the incident, leading to a public petition for transparency in the process. While the digitalization of the system has advantages, ANEM warns it may lead to significant consequences for candidates and the National Health Service (SNS).
