How does an academy consider post-MIR options?

Fernando de TeresaThe Academic Director of CTO explains that if a student raises the possibility of repeating MIR, there are steps they can take to help with that decision.

And they will have an idea of ​​when they go through another year of study,” he says.

Based on their answers, the CTO guides students to their most “affordable” option. If they have a clear idea about the specialty and the place, then they believe that it will be necessary to try for one more year. But, in other situations, the most obvious recommendation is usually to choose a different specialty than the one they wanted. “Because there’s a good chance he’ll like you.”: “If in doubt, we recommend choosing a specialty, they are all interesting and professionally attractive.”

They should not live with the consequences of blaming and hurting themselves for not getting what they wanted. If they decide they want to repeat, they have to do so.” he concluded.
