Facape, the Faculdade de Petrolina, has announced that applications are now open for its entrance exam for the Medicine program, scheduled to welcome new students in the second semester of 2026. A total of 30 spots are available in the general competition category. Interested candidates can apply online until March 11, through the official institution's website.

The selection process will involve a written exam, which is set to take place on March 22 at the Facape campus in Petrolina. Eligibility requirements include candidates who have completed high school or are in their third year of schooling, provided they meet the criteria outlined in the official announcement. Students who have not yet completed high school by the time of enrollment may still register by signing a commitment term.

This initiative is significant for aspiring medical students in the region, as it provides an important opportunity for those looking to pursue a career in medicine. The competitive nature of the entrance exam underscores the growing demand for medical education in Brazil, particularly in the northeastern region where Facape is located. The availability of only 30 spots also highlights the exclusivity and challenges that students may face in gaining admission to medical programs in Brazil.
