University, Siaarti: 'abolition of limited numbers Medicine puts universities in difficulty'

“As the Italian Society of Anaesthesia, Analgesia, Resuscitation and Intensive Care, we say 'no' to tests that select the lucky ones rather than the best prepared. But we also say 'no' to a measure that puts Italian universities in difficulty, because due to lack of classrooms and teachers are not ready to receive around 50 thousand students enrolled in the Faculties of Medicine and Surgery, Veterinary Medicine and Dentistry and Dental Prosthetics. To guarantee the system approved in the Senate, investments in the university would be necessary. A situation which, otherwise, would create chaos increasingly unequal access after the first year.” Thus to Adnkronos Salute the president of Siaarti Antonino Giarratano, after the green light to the basic text for the reform of entrance to Medicine adopted unanimously by the Senate, which will abolish entrance tests from next year, with an opening to all in the first semester and the continuation of the training course based on the results obtained, maintaining planning and ranking.

As Siaarti we are instead “in favor of a model that allows all those who deserve it to enter medicine – adds Giarratano – without prejudice to the need for programming that does not create a plethora of doctors 'trained by correspondence or at a distance', therefore online due to lack of classrooms and teachers in person. We need to review and abolish the current testing system and at the same time invest in universities and training by creating fair evaluation systems.”
