The SAS publishes the provisional lists of Primary Care epidemiologists

The General Directorate of Personnel of the Andalusian Health Service (SAS) has approved the provisional lists of candidates who have passed the competitive examination for Primary Care Epidemiologist, through both the open access and internal promotion systems. The resolution is dated November 5, 2026, and is published in the Official Gazette of the Junta de Andalucía (BOJA) no. 217, of November 10, 2026, within section 2.2 regarding competitive examinations, contests, and other calls (text no. 14687).

The framework for the decision is the selection tests convened as part of the Public Employment Offers for the years 2022, 2023, and 2024; that is, the staff replacement cycle that the SAS has been resolving in stages throughout 2026. The signing body is the General Directorate of Personnel of the SAS, framed within the Ministry of Presidency, Health, and Emergencies, which is also the department that submits the resolution to the regional gazette.

This is, therefore, a procedural act with effects on personnel: the approval of the provisional lists of those who have passed the competitive examination, which must still become final to consolidate the result of the process. The resolution occupies three pages of the gazette and is published under the heading of competitive examinations, contests, and other calls.

What is approved and its scope

The resolution approves the provisional lists of candidates who have passed the competitive examination for the category of Primary Care Epidemiologist. The text expressly distinguishes between two access routes, both resolved in the same administrative act:

• The open access system, open to those who had no prior link with the SAS.
• The internal promotion system, reserved for personnel already serving in the Andalusian health administration.

Both routes are resolved jointly and refer to the calls issued in development of the 2022, 2023, and 2024 offers, such that the publication accumulates the results of three public employment offer cycles in a single category.

Background: the transfer contest for the same specialty

This Tuesday’s publication is not the first move by the SAS regarding the Primary Care Epidemiologist category. BOJA no. 190, of September 30, 2026, included the resolution of September 25, 2026, from the General Directorate of Personnel whereby, at the proposal of the Evaluation Commission that assessed the transfer contest for the provision of vacant basic positions for Primary Care Epidemiologist, the provisional resolution of said contest was approved and the publication of the provisional lists was announced (text no. 12743).

They are, however, different procedures: the transfer competition resolves the mobility of existing permanent staff between vacant basic positions, while the competitive examination (concurso-oposición) now being published selects new personnel to join the workforce. The coincidence of the specialty in both processes reflects the SAS’s effort to simultaneously organize internal mobility and the entry of new staff in a category linked to public health and epidemiological surveillance in Primary Care.

A trickle of lists in the regional bulletin

The one for Primary Care Epidemiologist is added to a continuous sequence of resolutions from the same general directorate. In BOJA no. 217 alone, other SAS actions regarding personnel appear alongside it:

• The provisional resolution of the transfer competition for Family Physician (text no. 14690).
• The provisional resolution of the transfer competition for Area Specialist Physician in Obstetrics and Gynecology (text no. 14694).
• The call for a merit-based competition for the intermediate position of Head of the Emergency Department Section in the North Jaén Health Management Area (text no. 14688).
• The filling of two positions for Head of the Orderlies Team at the Virgen de las Nieves University Hospital in Granada (text no. 14689).
• Calls for medical headships in Urology and Hematology and Hemotherapy at the Torrecárdenas University Hospital in Almería (texts no. 14691 and 14692).

Throughout 2026, the bulletin has been publishing lists from this same competitive examination for other categories, including Area Specialist Physician in Ophthalmology, Cardiology, and Hospital Pharmacy, Speech Therapist, Telephone Operator, Monitor, Occupational Therapist, Laundry and Ironing Staff, and Primary Care Pediatrician, in addition to the final lists for Administrative Staff, Technical Engineer, Occupational Physician, and Specialist Nurse in Occupational Nursing.

The result is a dense administrative calendar, in which each category progresses at a different pace and in which provisional lists precede the final ones within the same procedure.

Why it matters

The publication directly affects the individuals who have passed the competitive examination for Primary Care Epidemiologist, whose access to a position is conditional upon the process now opening on a provisional basis, as well as the capacity of the Andalusian public health system to fill epidemiological profile positions in Primary Care. For interested readers, the reference identifying the act in the bulletin is text no. 14687, within the examinations and competitions section of BOJA no. 217 of November 10, 2026.
