Good news for medical students, the numerus clausus, that is to say, the number of students admitted in the 2nd year of medicine, will increase this year.
In medicine, it is a slight rise, of 1%, which is 81 more students for a total of 8205 places.

A modest increase

These new figures have been published in a decree in the Official Journal. It also indicates a number of places most important in the pharmacy : 19 more, for a total of 3124 places.
These places are distributed all over the territory. In Aix-Marseille for example, there will be 10 more in medicine, 10 pharmacy. In the different faculties in paris, the figures are rather stable. There will be a few more spaces in a pharmacy in Paris 5 and Paris 11. At Reims, a six-seater will be offered in medicine, eight in Montpellier and 15 in Lyon 1.

Reductions for some specialties

The nine squares are deleted in the midwives, a descendant of their number to 991. For students of the sector of dentistry, there will be a student of less, for a total of 1203 seats. In 2017, the numerus clausus had already increased by 5.8%, showing the government’s intention to increase the number of doctors to deal with a population that is aging and increasing. However, the number of candidates in medicine is still very high and the competition remains very selective. On average, 22% of students are received at the end of their first year.

Knowing that the medical studies last for ten years, are not these increases that are going to solve the problem of desertification.
