What were the conclusions of the conference at UMH about Opening of new Medicine faculties?
In words to the diario información, the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine of the UMH, Antonio Compañ, pointed out that: “the opening of new medical faculties is not a local problem, it’s state problem”.
The existence of new faculties that offer degrees in Medicine in our country would be at the expense of the number of MIR vacancies.
- The reduced number of specialized vacancies
- excess demand for students for the number of MIR vacances announced,
- difficult doctors coverage in rural areas,
- lack of knowledge of the number of doctors in active,
- the lack of information on the number of retirements,
- reduction of quality of hospital practices
These are some of the claims on the part of the Conference of Deans of Spanish Faculties of Medicine. In 2017, 14.450 candidates for 6,500 MIR vacancies were called. It is close to 8,000 people who are in active search of employment.
