The Rector UCBM: "Our medical students will be able to recover competitiveness also against colleagues from other European Union countries"
11 May 2018 - Much awaited news by students of Medicine and Surgery is the one that comes from the Ministry of Education, University and Research with the new Regulation containing the state exams for the qualification of the profession of doctor-surgeon. The times for admission to the state exam have considerably decreased with the professional apprenticeship which will now be carried out within the six years of study and not after graduation.
“The new Regulation, finally - commented the prof. Raffalele Calabrò, Rector UCBM -, contributes to bringing the training of young doctors back into a fluid path between qualification and access to specialization schools and with learning verification criteria more oriented towards knowledge that can be used in the profession. With the internship to be carried out within the academic path, our medical students will be able to recover competitiveness also against colleagues from other European Union countries, no longer penalized by what has so far been in all respects a postgraduate limbo ”.
The type of qualification quizzes also changes. MIUR informs that "the exam will consist of 200 multiple choice questions, but with the new Regulation those relating to the 'pre-clinical' part of the doctor's training have been reduced to 50 and those relating to the 'clinical' training, and therefore aimed at assessing the candidates' ability to apply biomedical, clinical, deontological and ethical knowledge to medical practice”. Again "the test will also include a series of questions concerning clinical problems relating to the areas of medicine and surgery and related specialties, paediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, laboratory and instrumental diagnostics and public health".
