In mid‑July 2026, the Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira (Inep) posted the definitive results for the first stage of Revalida 2026/1. By 28 July, Inep released preliminary results for the second stage (clinical‑skills exam) of Revalida 2025/2, allowing candidates to file appeals via the online Sistema Revalida between 29 and 31 July. By early September, Inep released the final results for Revalida 2025/2, qualifying 5,666 medical professionals for diploma revalidation. Successful candidates must now coordinate with partner universities, such as the Federal University of Acre (Ufac), to complete the process.

Regarding the Enamed 2026, Inep released confirmation cards for the exam, which was administered on 13 September across all Brazilian states and the Federal District. The exam, created by the Ministry of Education, assesses medical student learning and the quality of undergraduate programs. Under Provisional Measure No. 1370/2026, students must achieve sufficient performance on the Enamed to register with the Regional Medical Council (CRM), a mandatory requirement for practicing medicine in Brazil. However, this specific requirement for professional registration applies only to students who entered medical school after 19 June 2026. The exam also serves as a criterion for direct-access medical residency selection processes, such as the National Residency Exam (Enare). For the 2026/2027 edition, Enare offers over 14,000 opportunities across 309 institutions. The preliminary answer key for Enamed is expected on 15 September, with final results due on 4 December. Inep has also established rules for a reapplication process, allowing eligible participants to request a new exam date for 18 October. In 2027, Enamed is slated to become a semiannual exam to unify medical training assessments by integrating Enade and the objective phase of Revalida.
