“Historic result” –

The Select Committee of the Senate Education Commission has adopted, practically unanimously, the basic text to say no to limited numbers in Medicine. «It’s about time: great surgeons and doctors are selected during their studies and then compare themselves in the operating room and in the ward. Certainly not with an absurd initial barrage with cross tests. How many valid healthcare professionals could we have had in our hospitals without the medical entrance test? Instead, we find ourselves with a shortage of 50,000 doctors in Italy and 3,500 in Veneto, due to wrong choices made from above at a national level in the past.” Luca Zaia, president of Veneto, has been fighting for years against the limited number in Medicine and today rejoices at the news of the first approval for its abolition. «For years, faced with the difficulties in finding doctors and the decrease in young people who want to undertake this difficult profession, I have been asking for an expansion of the recruitment base – he continues – which can only pass through easier access to the Faculty of Medicine, without crushing dreams and vocations from the start through quizzes. It was really time for a change of pace: the decision of the Select Committee of the Senate Education Commission to practically unanimously approve the basic text with which to say no to limited numbers in medicine was a good one.”

«The University Department of Fratelli d’Italia expresses profound satisfaction in noting that the Senate of the Republic has found a correct mediation between different sensitivities, to definitively overcome, after decades of waiting, the current selection system for access to graduate courses degree in Medicine and Surgery and Dentistry. It is a revolution that represents a historic result, the result of great team work, which saw our party as the absolute protagonist.” This was stated in a note by the head of the Fratelli d’Italia University Department, Massimo Miscusi. «The new system – he explains – will provide free access to the first semester of the degree courses in Medicine for all students, who will then be able to continue their studies in accordance with the programming through a uniform, objective and national evaluation of their performance on curricular subjects. national. It is a reform that will allow us to overcome the current test-lottery, which often discriminates against students depending on their secondary school education. The new system will reward the merit of the students measured on their performance for an entire semester.” «Furthermore, – concludes Miscusi – for those who do not earn the passage to the second semester of medicine, it will be possible to transfer to another degree course in the biomedical area with the recognition of the training credits obtained».
