The stated goal is “to improve the training of young doctors and facilitate their subsequent installation”Health Minister François Braun explained Monday evening during a hearing on this bill before the National Assembly’s social affairs committee. The government is aiming for its reform to go into effect at the beginning of the 2023 academic year and has commissioned “four recognized industry professionals” to drive “the consultation that requires such a commitment”said François Braun.
This extension is even “required by healthcare professionals”they believe “who in three years do not have a satisfactory level of training”, in particular in paediatrics, gynecology and management of a doctor’s office. This is the reason “young people settle down very little and prefer to do one or two years of replacement” early in his career, he added. The minister also recalled this “the President of the Republic is committed” to implement this reform during his last election campaign.
