Especialista en Cirugía General (Bolivia) — residencia médica y registro profesional
Latin America · BO · $99, the same everywhere
How you become a specialist here
No national exit examinationIn Bolivia the specialist title in general surgery follows completion of the medical residency and the university graduation requirement that closes it, and is evidenced by professional registration with the Ministry of Health and Sports. There is no national exit examination in the specialty.
So what is a question bank for, here? For the years before the title, and for the evaluations inside them. Where there is no exit examination the pressure moves into residency — the ward round, the rotation assessment, the case you are asked to defend — and it is the same general surgery either way. The bank is also what you sit down with before a certification examination abroad, and before recertifying.
Checked against the body itself on 1 September 2026. Procedures change; if this no longer matches what you were asked for, write and tell us.

How is a general surgeon certified in Bolivia?
Through the Ministry of Health and Sports. It is a registration procedure over a title already awarded, not a specialty examination. We checked this with the body itself on 1 September 2026, and we publish the date so that it is obvious when it ages.

And for anyone sitting a certification abroad or recertifying. 5,000 single-best-answer questions across the whole of general surgery, each with the reasoning for every option rather than only the correct one — 2,051 of them, 41%, at the hardest of three levels.
What does it cost from Bolivia?
One payment of $99 for 180 days, the same from wherever you pay — there is no country pricing. It covers the whole bank, the oral simulator and the timed mock papers.

Every answer above is taken from the examining body’s own published document, not from our reading of it.
