The economic crisis of 2012 led to a minimum number of places for training residents in hospitals and health centres in subsequent calls for applications, reaching a turning point in 2015, the year in which fewer places were announced. A situation that led to a shortage of doctors in many services, since training residents requires between four and six years of work in the hospital until they achieve specialisation. An example of this situation occurred in family medicine or professionals trained to replace specialists in the region’s hospitals. For this reason, a plan was announced a decade ago to increase these calls for applications year after year, raising not only the number of positions offered, but also the accredited units, centres and services that can train doctors, nurses, chemists, physicists or pharmacists to work in hospitals.
Specifically, next year’s call for applications reflects this growth, achieving a tripling of the places offered in the last decade, going from the 45 that were in the call for applications in 2015 to the 141 that will be offered in hospitals and health centres in the province next year. The publication of last Friday includes this call, which also shows an increase in accreditations, going from the 91 accredited places, in La Mancha Centro and Ciudad Real a decade ago, to 154 in 2025, already counting all the hospitals in the province.
The BOE publication thus includes the announcements that have been made over the last year, indicating that Manzanares or Valdepeñas were going to have resident training.
The ratio between places offered, 141, and places accredited, 154, means that next year 91.56 percent of the possible places for residents in the province will be offered, far from the 49 percent that there was in 2015. Last year, 117 of 129 possible places were offered, 90.7 percent.

In addition to the new additions of family and community medicine residents in the areas of Valdepeñas, a nurse and two doctors; in Manzanares, where two nurses and two doctors will be trained; specialist positions are being created in Tomelloso, with a digestive system doctor, as well as four residents in family medicine and another in occupational nursing. Also noteworthy is the commitment to training in mental health with one more position in Ciudad Real, for nursing; one more position in occupational medicine; or the increase of one more specialist in La Mancha Centro, by adding Anaesthesiology to its offer for resident doctors.
The General Hospital of Ciudad Real is the centre with the greatest growth in training, with five more places than last year’s call for applications. It has added one more training position in Anesthesiology, General Surgery, Dermatology, Internal Medicine and Neurology.
