Thirty physicians have passed the examination phase to join the Civil Service Physicians Corps of the General State Administration, according to the Resolution of October 28, 2026 from the Under-Secretariat of Health, published in the BOE on November 6, 2026. The process was called through Resolution of December 4, 2025.
Passing the examination phase is not equivalent to obtaining the position definitively. The path to consolidation as a career civil servant involves two additional stages: appointment as a civil servant in probation and completion of a subsequent selective course. Only then will the request for positions proceed.
What does this regulation establish?
The resolution publishes the official list of the 30 candidates who have passed the examination phase of the selection process for admission, through the general open access system, to the Civil Service Physicians Corps. Following its publication in the BOE, the following steps of the process are activated:
| Phase | Description | Timing |
|---|---|---|
| Publication of approved candidates | List of 30 candidates who pass the examination phase | November 6, 2026 |
| Appointment as civil servants in probation | The 30 candidates are appointed as civil servants in probation of the AGE | Following publication of the resolution |
| Selective course | Mandatory training that must be completed to consolidate the position | Following appointment in probation |
| Request for positions | Selection of definitive position | After completing the selective course |
Regarding documentation, the Administration has verified the requirements of candidates electronically, so no additional documentation is required at this time.
There is a specific rule for those who are already civil servants or contract workers of the AGE: during the probation period they must choose the compensation system that applies to them, which may have direct economic implications depending on their starting situation.
Economic and operational impact
For the 30 approved candidates, the main immediate economic impact is the transition to the compensation system for civil servants in probation. This system may differ from the salary previously earned, especially for those who were already civil servants or contract workers of the AGE and must choose between their current compensation system and that of probation.
From an operational perspective, the key aspects to manage are:
- Compensation system during probation: Those who already belong to the AGE (civil servants or contract workers) must formalize their compensation choice. This decision has a direct impact on net salary during the probation period.
- Selective course: Its completion is an essential condition to consolidate the position. Failure to complete it means not joining the corps.
- Request for positions: This is not done now, but after the selective course. Approved candidates must plan their geographic availability in advance.
- Appeal deadlines: Those who disagree with the resolution have 1 month for an appeal for reconsideration or 2 months for administrative litigation, both from publication in the BOE (November 6, 2026).
Who does it affect?
- The 30 approved candidates in the examination phase for the Civil Service Physicians Corps (December 2025 call): must follow the process steps to consolidate their position.
- Candidates not on the list who believe they should be: have a deadline to appeal (1 month for reconsideration or 2 months for administrative litigation from November 6, 2026).
- Civil servants and contract workers of the AGE who are among the approved: must decide their compensation system during probation.
- HR managers of AGE bodies who must integrate the new civil servants in probation into their staffing.
Practical example
A physician currently working as a permanent contract worker in an AGE body is among the 30 approved. Upon being appointed as a civil servant in probation, they must formally choose a compensation system: they can maintain the conditions of their current employment contract or adopt the compensation system for civil servants in probation of the Civil Service Physicians Corps.
This decision is not automatic: it must be formalized at the time of appointment. If they choose the probation system and do not pass the subsequent selective course, they would lose both the position and the conditions of their previous employment, depending on whether they requested position reservation. Therefore, it is essential to review in advance the compatibility conditions and position reservation before formalizing the compensation choice.
On the other hand, an external candidate (with no prior link to the AGE) who is among the 30 approved will simply be appointed as a civil servant in probation with the standard compensation of the corps, without needing to choose between systems. Their only operational risk is not passing the selective course.
What must the approved candidates do now?
- Verify that your name appears on the official list published in the BOE (Resolution of October 28, 2026, BOE of November 6, 2026). If you do not appear and believe you should, the deadline to appeal is 1 month (reconsideration) or 2 months (administrative litigation) from that date.
- Do not submit additional documentation unless the Administration expressly requires it: verification has already been completed electronically.
- If you are a civil servant or contract worker of the AGE, analyze with your advisor or your organization's HR service which compensation system is most favorable during probation and formalize your choice at the time of appointment.
- Prepare for the selective course: its completion is mandatory to consolidate the position. Find out about the schedule, content and conditions of the course as soon as it is published.
- Plan geographic availability for the request for positions, which will be made once the selective course is completed. Although you do not yet need to choose a position, it is advisable to anticipate personal preferences and restrictions.
- HR managers of the AGE: prepare the administrative procedures for incorporating the new civil servants in probation and review internal onboarding procedures.
