| Modified aspect | General instructions of the exercise: permitted items on the desk |
Candidates for MIR, FIR, EIR and PIR 2026 must be aware of a specific but relevant change in the exam instructions. The correction of errors in the Order SND/854/2026, of August 4, published on August 21, 2026, modifies the section on general instructions of the exercise to expand what can be brought to the desk on the day of the test.
The change does not affect the number of positions offered, application deadlines or any other substantial element of the call. Its scope is exclusively operational: the exam organization may authorize additional materials depending on the specialty or specific circumstances of each test.
What does this correction establish?
The original regulation (Order SND/854/2026) established a closed list of permitted items on the desk during the exam. The correction introduces an open clause that gives flexibility to the organization. The comparison is as follows:
| Item | Before the correction | After the correction |
|---|---|---|
| Identification documents | Permitted | Permitted |
| Writing materials | Permitted | Permitted |
| Small transparent water bottle without label | Permitted | Permitted |
| Additional materials according to instructions | Not contemplated | Permitted ("and what is indicated in the instructions") |
The new wording gives the organization the ability to authorize specific materials for certain specialties or exam circumstances, without the need to modify the order again. It is a clause of operational flexibility, not a generic authorization to bring any material.
Operational impact for candidates
This correction has no direct economic impact on candidates: it does not modify fees, does not generate additional costs or alter the number of positions. Its impact is strictly operational:
- The exam organization may authorize additional materials (for example, reference tables, calculators or other resources) depending on the specialty or specific format of the test.
- Candidates must pay attention to the specific instructions published before the exam, as those instructions will be binding and will determine what they can bring to the desk.
- Bringing materials not expressly authorized remains grounds for sanctions or exclusion, so careful reading of the instructions is now more important than before.
Who does it affect?
This correction affects all candidates who take the selective tests for specialized healthcare training 2026 for access in 2027. The university qualifications included are:
- Medicine (MIR — Medical Resident Intern)
- Pharmacy (FIR — Pharmaceutical Resident Intern)
- Nursing (EIR — Nursing Resident Intern)
- Psychology (PIR — Psychology Resident Intern)
- Chemistry (PIR/related specialties)
- Biology (specialties in the healthcare field)
- Physics (specialties in the healthcare field)
It also indirectly affects preparation academies and centers that organize mock exams, as they will need to update their guidance materials on exam day.
Practical example
A candidate for FIR 2026 (Pharmacy) is preparing for the exam and reviews the general instructions published in the original call. According to the previous rule, they could only bring their ID, pen and a small transparent water bottle without label.
With the correction in force, if the organization decides —due to the characteristics of the Pharmacy test— to authorize the use of an equivalence table or any other support material, it will expressly indicate this in the specific exam instructions. The candidate who reads those instructions carefully will be able to bring that material without risk of sanctions. The candidate who does not read them and brings unauthorized material, or who does not bring authorized material due to lack of knowledge, will be at a disadvantage.
The practical key: the specific exam instructions become a critical document that must be read in full before the day of the test.
What should candidates do now?
- Review the correction published on 21/08/2026 in the BOE (reference BOE-A-2026-17997) to know the exact text of the change in general instructions.
- Pay attention to the specific instructions that the organization publishes before the exam: they will be the document that determines what additional materials, if any, will be permitted on the desk.
- Do not assume that any material can be brought: the added clause only allows what the organization expressly authorizes in the instructions. Without explicit authorization, the original list remains in force (ID, writing materials, small transparent water bottle without label).
- Academies and preparers: update guidance materials on exam day to reflect this change and prevent students from arriving with incorrect expectations.
- Verify that there are no other changes: this correction does not modify deadlines, number of positions or other substantial aspects. If you have doubts about the rest of the call, consult the original Order SND/854/2026.
