Passed Penitentiary Health Opposition 2026: What You Must Do Now

Key data

If you took the opposition exam for the Faculty Corps of Penitentiary Health by open access, this is the decisive moment: the Resolution of April 3, 2026 from the Under-Secretariat publishes the official list of those who have passed the opposition phase. This list determines who continues in the process and who is excluded.

The call was published through Resolution of October 27, 2025 and is governed entirely by the general open access system, without application of internal promotion quotas. The resolution of those who passed entered into force on April 3, 2026 and was published in the BOE on April 10, 2026 (reference BOE-A-2026-8054).

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution publishes the official list of people who passed the opposition phase of the selection process for admission to the Faculty Corps of Penitentiary Health. Its function is clear: to officially certify who has passed this first eliminatory phase and, therefore, has the right to continue in the process.

The key elements established by this resolution are as follows:

• Determining list: Only candidates who are expressly listed in the published list can continue in the selection process. Anyone not appearing is excluded.
• Subsequent phases: Those who passed must participate in the following phases of the process, which typically include merit assessment and medical examination.
• Open access system: The process does not contemplate internal promotion quotas. All candidates compete on equal terms under the general open access system.
• Administrative requirements: Those who passed must meet the administrative requirements required to consolidate their position once all phases are completed.
• Original call: The process was called by Resolution of October 27, 2025, and this resolution of those who passed is an intermediate milestone within that broader process.

Economic and operational impact

For candidates who have passed the opposition phase, the impact is direct on their employment expectations and short-term planning. Consolidating a position in the Faculty Corps of Penitentiary Health means accessing stable public employment in the penitentiary health field, with the remuneration and career conditions typical of the faculty corps of the General State Administration.

From an operational perspective, those who passed must keep in mind that the process has not concluded. At least two additional phases remain ahead:

• Merit assessment: Phase in which the merits claimed and accredited by each candidate are scored (experience, training, etc.). The preparation and documentary accreditation of these merits is critical for the final position in the ranking.
• Medical examination: Physical fitness phase that must be passed to definitively access the position.

Failure to meet any administrative requirement in these phases may result in loss of the position, even having passed the opposition. Documentary management and compliance with official deadlines are, therefore, a priority.

Who does it affect?

• Candidates who passed: All candidates listed in the list published in the Resolution of April 3, 2026 who must continue the process.
• Candidates not included in the list: Those who do not appear in the list and want to assess whether there is a possibility of filing a claim or appeal.
• Human resources managers of penitentiary institutions: Who must plan the incorporation of new faculty health personnel once the process concludes.
• Advisors and opposition exam preparers: Who accompany candidates in the subsequent phases of the process.

Practical example

A candidate who took the opposition exam for the Faculty Corps of Penitentiary Health under the call of October 27, 2025 and who has passed the opposition phase will appear in the list published in the Resolution of April 3, 2026.

From that moment on, their roadmap is as follows:

1. Confirm your presence in the official list published in the BOE (BOE-A-2026-8054).
2. Gather and organize all documentary evidence of your merits (degrees, contracts, training certificates) for the merit assessment phase.
3. Await the official call for the merit assessment phase and submit your documentation on time.
4. Undergo the medical examination under the conditions and deadlines established by the Administration.
5. Meet all additional administrative requirements demanded for the final allocation of the position.

If at any of these steps you do not meet the requirements or do not act on time, you may lose the position despite having passed the opposition phase.

What should those who passed do now?

1. Verify your presence in the official list: Access the Resolution of April 3, 2026 published in the BOE (BOE-A-2026-8054) and confirm that your name appears in the list of those who passed. This is the first essential step.
2. Gather merit documentation: Prepare in advance all documents that accredit your professional experience, training, and any other valuable merit. The merit assessment phase may open at any time after the publication of this resolution.
3. Maintain active monitoring of the BOE: The calls for the following phases (merit assessment and medical examination) will be published officially. Set up alerts or consult the BOE regularly so you don't miss any deadlines.
4. Meet administrative requirements on time: Any documentary or deadline non-compliance may result in exclusion from the process, even having passed the opposition. Don't leave procedures for the last moment.
5. Consider the possibility of appeal if you are not listed: If you participated in the process and do not appear in the list of those who passed, consult with a specialized professional if there is a deadline and grounds to file a claim or appeal with the Under-Secretariat.
