EIR positions in Seville: midwifery and pediatrics dominate the top ten

Published on April 29, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

The distribution of places for Internal Resident Nursing in Seville has sparked the interest of applicants. The top ten scorers on the exam have concentrated their choices on midwifery and pediatrics, making it clear that these specialties are the favorites among those who can choose first. The remaining options, such as emergency or geriatrics, are relegated to a secondary role.

The assignment algorithm: cold logic vs. clinical dreams 🧠

The place allocation system works with an algorithm that prioritizes the exam score and previous experience. Each applicant enters an ordered list of specialties, and the software assigns vacancies in descending order of score. For the top 10, the decision is almost automatic: midwifery and pediatrics dominate due to their high historical demand. The algorithm does not understand late vocations; it only processes numbers and available places.

The drama of being number 11: dream of something else 😅

For the applicant who ranked 11th, watching the top 10 take midwifery and pediatrics is like attending a banquet while hungry. While the first celebrate their choice, the rest console themselves with less sought-after specialties. Some joke that geriatrics is the new trend, although no one believes it. In the end, there is always the option to retake the exam and aim higher.
