Enrollment for the Mais Médicos program ends this Wednesday (31), with priority for Brazilian professionals trained in the country. The announcement with 5,970 vacancies distributed in 1,994 municipalities was released last Monday (22). Brazilians trained abroad or foreigners can also participate in the selection, who will continue to work with Ministry of Health Registration (RMS) in vacancies not occupied by doctors registered in the country. To enroll, simply access the Program Management System via the Mais Médicos email address. After validation of the application, from June 1st to 5th, candidates will be able to indicate up to two places of operation of their choice. In the allocation of professionals, criteria related to title, training and previous experience in the project will be considered. For tiebreakers, priority will be given to candidates residing closer to the place where they work in Mais Médicos, who have graduated longer and are older. The forecast, according to the portfolio, is that the professionals will start working in the municipalities at the end of June. The value foreseen in the notice of the training scholarship is R$ 12.3 thousand per month, for a period of 48 months, extendable for an equal period. All participants will be able to receive incentives for remaining in the program, and those who are allocated in regions of extreme poverty and vulnerability, according to the bid offer, receive a higher percentage. Balance According to the ministry, currently more than 8,000 physicians work in the program and the open public notice is now to restore idle vacancies from the last four years, in addition to a thousand unprecedented vacancies for the Legal Amazon. About 45% of vacancies are in regions of social vulnerability and historically with difficulty in providing professionals. In 2023, 117 doctors were summoned to work in indigenous health districts, including in the Yanomami territory, in a situation of health emergency. “The expectation of the federal government is to reach the end of the year with 28 thousand professionals from Mais Médicos serving all over the country, mainly in areas of extreme poverty. With this, more than 96 million Brazilians will have the guarantee of medical care in primary care, the gateway to the SUS”, informs the ministry.
