This publication presents the participation of the EdIE-KnowLab team in the MEDical DOcuments PROFessions recognition shared task from IberLeF 2021. The proposed system consists of a Spanish version of the BERT classification model, BETO, for the Named Entity Recognition tasks and an approximate string matching technique using Damerau{ Levenshtein distance for the Normalization task. The NER systems reached 64.3% and 60.4% in Micro-Average F1 for Task 1 and Task 2, respectively. The approximate string matching approach obtained 17.8% in F1 for the Normalization task.
