Despite it being the end of November, a new Medicine course starts this Thursday in Seville. It is about the Loyola University Andalusia, which has just completed the necessary processing for the delivery of the degree and has already received the approval of the Governing Council of the Government of Andalusia. However, all public universities of Andalusia have unanimously positioned themselves against of this “unprecedented and exceptional” measure, as well as the National Conference of Deans of Medicine who has reported him to Medical Writing. For its part, the The Andalusian Government expects, in return, a “rigorous” plan that guarantees the delivery of all the credits of that first year that should have started in September.
“We consider that legally It is not feasible to start classes three months later after the academic year has started. This decision significantly damages the image of university education and harms the normal development of teaching and the quality of the higher education service provided to students. We consider that this exceptional measure represents a privileged behavior that no academic institution has received until now,” recognize the rectors of the public universities of Andalusia in a statement.
For its part, Pablo Larapresident of the National Conference of Deans of Medicine, has assured this newspaper that they are “concerned” about the growth of faculties, the incorporation of 9 more grades is even expected that could be incorporated in the following year. The Conference, with this, has adhered to the statement of the Andalusian universities and stands against of the start of the Medicine course at Loyola this Thursday. “We are three months after we have started the rest of the universities. A minimum period of 60-70 teaching days is needed, the evaluation period that normally has two weeks for each call, both for the ordinary and the extraordinary This is in addition to the reviews of the tests, which simply means it cannot be done with all the guarantees nor with the pace that should be done,” he added.
“We are concerned about the increase in new faculties, for the next academic year we expect the incorporation of 9 more Medicine degrees”
Criteria plan required by the Board
Sources of the Department of University, Research and Innovation of the Junta de Andalucía indicate to this medium that it is not the responsibility of the Junta to say when classes start. “It is Loyola University that has the power to decide when its classes begin, just as public universities also have, both of which must comply with current regulations,” they specify, after the Ministry has agreed with Loyola ensuring that meets all the requirements to be able to implement Medicine.
However, given that the course began last September, the Board has required Loyola Andalucía to provide “rigorous and detailed” plan in which both the new teaching programming that guarantees the teaching of all the credits of the study plan for this first year, as well as the legal guarantees for the registration process and exam schedule: “Loyola is the one that has the responsibility of complying with what is established in the verification report. And that includes a minimum number of hours that they have to teach, exams, classes.”
New Medicine degree at Loyola
The Loyola University Medicine degree was left out of the new academic offering of degrees, masters and doctorates for this school year approved by the Board last July, since its study plan did not then have the reports required by the regulations. Specifically, the one issued by the Agency for Scientific and University Quality of Andalusia (Accua), attached to the Department of University, Research and Innovation, and the verification resolution of the Council of Universities, dependent on the Ministry of Universities. This motivated this academic institution to present a claim to the state body, which finally upheld it after said teaching obtained, in a documentation review process, both favorable pronouncements.
After the final approval of Medicine, together with Nursing, it joins the titles that this academic year have also been incorporated into the catalog of teachings from the Loyola Andalusia University, specifically the degrees in Biotechnology, Physiotherapy and Visual Arts. The three courses were authorized by the Government Council last July, along with 19 others belonging to public academic institutions. In this way, the Medicine degree at said university starts this Thursday and is expected to end in the middle of summer to fulfill the study plan.
