The next April 30 at least one hundred medical students are expected to receive a degree from the National University. Like them, there are hundreds more from other universities that are getting ready to practice their profession in times of pandemic.

He added that “in addition to this, we join the other demands of health personnel. Requesting a fundamental condition to provide our services and that is that all the necessary personal protection elements, having a decent contract in which we are answered for the occupational risks assumed for this task and the benefits to which we would be entitled, as workers, are also recognized. ”
Already these young people, close to graduation, they have received special training in the past weeks in the face of the pandemic.
Sergio Aya, intern of the last semester, indicated that “at this time we are in a COVID training course taught by the university in a virtual way. In our case, the university gave the last semester inmates the opportunity to opt for an advanced degree, or to continue with the care activity as inmates on the schedule set before the emergency. ”
Who will graduate they have many questions waiting for answers: “There is also no clarity for the possible direct call with the IPS, in the midst of the contingency and, furthermore, if this will be done as rural doctors or if we will have a professional card, a point that seems crucial to us as interns in our near future, ”they stated.

Similarly, the National Government, through its Decree 538 of 2020, determined that health professionals, are practicing or in training, must be available before an eventual mandatory call to provide their services.
