Question 19777 — health professions

Summary

Mr. Guy Bricout questions the Minister of Solidarity and Health about medical studies, the specific provisions for state-certified nurses and the current reform. Indeed, the current common system is that sanctioned by the end of PACES competition, the number of places being fixed by decree corresponding to the numerus clausus. The number of registrations in PACES is a maximum of two registrations. For qualified nurses of State (IDE), it is necessary to differentiate several possibilities: IDEs with two years of exercise and having never carried out a PACES and IDEs with two years of exercise and having already carried out one or two PACES. FDIs who have never benefited from PACES can register for PACES (twice) while benefiting from the paramedical numerus clausus, this is a number of places reserved specifically for FDIs. But they can also apply for direct access to the second year of medical studies. However, it is only possible to apply twice for this gateway. This gateway takes place in two stages: the first is the eligibility phase during which the candidate sends a cover letter and a curriculum vitae to their examination center. If he is selected, he will be summoned for the admission phase for an interview with a jury. The character arbitrariness of the gateway is then obvious. IDEs who have already benefited from PACES can also register for PACES by benefiting from the paramedical numerus clausus, but this time, only one registration is possible. They can also apply for the bridge relating to the aforementioned decree, but this time only one application can be submitted. The current reform provides for the removal of the numerus clausus. Thus, for the IDE, the only route of access would be direct access to the second year of medical studies. The MP mentions the case in his constituency of a state-certified nurse, who was enrolled twice in PACES. His wish is to study medicine. When he began his nursing studies, he knew of the existence of the paramedical numerus clausus, and that is partly why he chose this path. Then came the footbridge open to paramedics. These two specific access methods for paramedics highlight their skills. The medical numerus clausus sanctions one year of acquisition of knowledge, while the gateway is arbitrary. With the removal of the paramedical numerus clausus, only the direct access gateway will remain, with its conditions. He would like to know if the services of the Ministry of Health intend to take take this aspect of the current reform into account.
