No more puertorrican reválida after the next semester test

From "El Nuevo Dia" newspaper:

Cambios para el TEM (Tribunal de Médicos de Puerto Rico):

Proyecto de la Cámara de Representantes (local congress) presentado propone que se le cambie el nombre y se derogue la reválida criolla.


El presidente de la Comisión de Salud de la Cámara de Representantes (local congress), ******* Rodríguez Aguiló, anunció hoy un proyecto sustitutivo de la ley que creó el Tribunal Examinador de Médicos hace 77 años.

Según anunció el legislador novoprogresista, lo primero que cambió fue el nombre del organismo a Junta de Licenciamiento y Disciplina Médica de Puerto Rico.

Entre los puntos más importantes mencionados explicó que se derogará la conocida reválida criolla y se les exigirá a los candidatos que tomen el examen de licencia médica de los
Estados Unidos, conocido como el United States Medical
License Examination (USMLE).

Luego de un proceso de vistas públicas en diferentes escuelas de medicina del País se decidió que el nuevo organismo deberá contratar una compañía independiente para que otorgue un examen similar en el idioma español.

Sin embargo, aquellos estudiantes de medicina que lo tomen en español no tendrán el derecho en su licencia de médico para ejercer la profesión en ninguna jurisdicción de los Estados Unidos ni en Canadá.

Este proyecto sustitutivo está programado para bajar a votación en el pleno de la Cámara durante el día de mañana. Posteriormente, deberá ser considerado en el Senados antes de pasar a Fortaleza para su posible firma.

For puertorrican students: This new is really sad.

"No reválida, no graduation from UAG". I think that we will see changes from UAG next semester. I guess they will say: "pass the USMLE and you have the permission to graduate".

not so bad

THANK GOD, I BELIEVE THE SCHOOL SHOULD HAVE MADE THIS DECISION A LONG TIME AGO, IF THEY ARE SERIOUS ABOUT EQUALITY TO ALL STUDENTS, ITS NOT FAIR SOME STUDENTS HAVE TO TAKE THE USMLE AND OTHERS DO NOT

In the past and present everyone (north americans and puertorricans) could take the Revalida and then graduate from UAG. I know a tons of north americans that pass the reválida after having problems with the USMLE and they went to the graduation. The school say: reválida or USMLE for graduation. They don't tell one which one you need to take.
