Internship fills 82% of vacancies, but 186 places for family doctors remain unoccupied

In 2027, 82% of the 2,338 medical internship positions were filled, leaving 186 unoccupied in family medicine. The digital selection process saw 1,912 positions filled, with family medicine achieving a 72% fill rate. Despite an increase in overall placements compared to 2025, family medicine remains critically understaffed. The transition to a fully digital selection process was noted as a significant modernization step, although challenges were acknowledged. The National Association of Medical Students expressed concern over the unfilled positions and called for measures to enhance the appeal of family medicine and internal medicine.
