Lanzarote's public healthcare system is strengthened with the arrival of 23 new residents, twelve in Medicine and eleven in Nursing, who are commencing their specialization period in the island's health centers. These professionals will undertake their training in both Primary Care and Lanzarote's hospitals, joining specialties considered crucial for the healthcare system and contributing to specialized training and generational renewal.

The twelve resident internal physicians (MIR) will specialize in Geriatrics, Family and Community Medicine, Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, and Traumatology. Meanwhile, the eleven resident nurses will begin their training in Obstetrics and Gynecology, Geriatrics, Family and Community Nursing, and Pediatrics, addressing areas of high demand.

This year, the Hospital Universitario Doctor José Molina Orosa has been accredited by the Ministry of Health to train specialists in Anesthesiology and Resuscitation and in General and Digestive Surgery, expanding its teaching capacity and consolidating its role as a reference center.

Currently, the Health Services Management of Lanzarote has a total of 73 residents in training, with programs lasting between two and five years. During this period, they combine theoretical training, clinical practice, patient care, and research.
