Military Health Network Approved Candidates 2026: deadlines and mandatory documentation

Key data

If your name appears on the definitive list published by the Resolution 430/38445/2026 in the BOE, the clock is already running. The Ministry of Defense has published the definitive list of persons approved in the selection process through the general open access system for permanent statutory personnel positions in the Military Health Network. The original call was Resolution 430/38528/2025, of December 9.

The process affects two categories of positions: Specialist Graduate in Health Sciences and Healthcare Graduate. Within these categories, various medical specialties were called. Access is conditional on permanent statutory personnel status, which implies job stability in the Military Health Network of Defense.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution publishes the definitive list of approved candidates and activates the documentary accreditation procedure. The key points are:

• Definitive list of approved candidates: The list of persons who have passed the selection process through open access for the called positions is published.
• Documentation submission deadline: 20 business days from BOE publication (November 4, 2026).
• Consequence of non-compliance: Those who do not submit documentation within the deadline will lose all rights derived from the selection process.
• Supplementary list: In case of resignations or loss of rights, the calling body may contact candidates from the supplementary list to fill vacant positions.

The medical specialties called in this selection process include:

The supporting documentation that approved candidates must submit includes the following documents:

Economic and operational impact

For approved candidates, the impact is direct and immediate: accessing a permanent statutory personnel position in the Military Health Network means job stability in the Defense public health system, with the remuneration conditions and professional career development of permanent statutory personnel.

The most relevant operational risk is the deadline. With only 20 business days from November 4, 2026, approved candidates must act quickly to gather and submit all required documents. Some of these documents, such as the negative certification from the Sex Offender Registry, may require several days of administrative processing, so it is not advisable to wait until the last moment.

For candidates on the supplementary list, the resolution opens the possibility of being called if any approved candidate resigns or fails to submit documentation within the deadline. This makes process monitoring a priority action also for those who do not appear on the main list.

Who does it affect?

• Persons approved on the definitive list of the open access selection process for positions of Specialist Graduate in Health Sciences and Healthcare Graduate in the Military Health Network.
• Candidates on the supplementary list who could be called in case of vacancies due to resignation or failure to submit documentation by main approved candidates.
• Healthcare professionals in specialties such as Cardiology, Surgery, Family Medicine, Geriatrics, Diagnostic Radiology and other called specialties.
• Human resources managers of military health units who must plan the incorporation of new permanent statutory personnel.

Practical example

A medical specialist in Diagnostic Radiology who appears on the definitive list of approved candidates published on November 4, 2026 must calculate their maximum deadline for submitting documentation: 20 business days from that date, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and national holidays.

Among the documents they must gather is the negative certification from the Sex Offender Registry, which can take several business days to obtain if requested online or in person. If this doctor waits until the second week of the deadline to start the procedures, they run the real risk of not having all documents in time. The consequence would be automatic loss of all rights derived from the selection process, including the position obtained after passing the civil service exams.

In that case, the vacant position could be offered to the first available candidate on the supplementary list for the same specialty.

What should approved candidates do now?

1. Verify your name on the definitive list: Access the Resolution 430/38445/2026 published in the BOE and confirm that you appear in the list of approved candidates.
2. Calculate your maximum deadline: Count 20 business days from November 4, 2026, excluding weekends and national holidays. Do not wait until the last day.
3. Immediately request the negative certification from the Sex Offender Registry: It is the document with the longest processing time. Start it on the first possible business day.
4. Gather the rest of the documentation: Academic credential, sworn statements and medical certificate. Verify that all documents are current and valid.
5. Submit the complete documentation before the deadline: Make sure the submission is registered within the 20 business day deadline. The lack of any document may be equivalent to non-submission.
6. If you are on the supplementary list: Keep yourself reachable and watch for possible communications from the calling body, as you could be called if vacancies occur.
