Yoppappop Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 it's a weird system...in italy it doesn't go in this way (i think ) you take your degree and then you choose your speciality... It's like that because too many people were choosing the same specialities, and the same cities (cause you choose your city too after the final exam), so there were huge disparities between some regions of France... So they thought it was a good idea to regulate everything... And to enter proper medicine studies, you have to pass a ranking exam after one year of University. They take 14-15% of people who have this exam (by faculty). You have the right to have it only twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elizabethlovesmika Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 the mcats must just be a US thing then...my bro had to take it..like his last year of college or something..i think its basically your score on that depends on if you can get into med school and what ones you can apply to...my other bro had to take the DATS i think for dental school..not quite sure tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetoday Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 i thought it was hard to get into med school anywhere!! my bro told me a handful of ppl in his class dropped out the like first weeks cus they werent willing to do the work! haha thatd prob be me cus im suchhh a procrastinator! alot of medical programs are really hard to get into, ot/pt programs are usually really prestigious and hard to get into Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, 15%, like here... But we also have the ranking exam at the end, to choose the speciality... Before 2 years ago, it was also a ranking exam where there wasn't a place for everyone !!! So people were studying 6 years to be told after 6 years that they can't be an intern cause they are 5800th and they only take 5799 people !!!!! Now, everybody is sure to have a place somewhere, but what you will be depends on your rank... If you wanna be a surgeon, you'll have to try harder than if you wanna be a GP... Cause the first places that are taken are the surgery ones, and some medical specialities like radiology, cardiology, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoppappop Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 its shorter for you!!!??? if it is im moving there=] No no it's not ! We really don't have the same system : we directly enter a med school, at the end of 1st year you take the exam where 15% go in 2nd year, then you have 5 years... That takes you to 6th year, at the end of which you have the 2nd big national exam... And then, 4 to 5 years as an intern... Since you often take two 1st years, you have 7 years before internship, then 4 to 5 years of internship... See ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
