The associations of medical students are meeting the Minister of Health on Tuesday to denounce the progress of the validating tests.
Nightmarish, intolerable, shameful situation … The national classifying events (ECNi) are over, but the pill has still not passed. After 4 days of ordeal, the new interns in medicine and the deans of faculty demanded accounts.
It must be said that this 2017 boarding school competition was not easy for the 8,900 students. Thursday, June 22, they had to floor one more day, because two separate events were canceled. The reason ? Subjects had already fallen during mock exams in certain faculties. A few weeks earlier, the odontology students were called back for a similar situation. And a year earlier, medical students had seen the same error several days after their exam.
PromoFiasco
An infernal cycle that has exceeded the rifles. On social networks, they even call themselves “PromoFiasco” and denounce the negligence of the ECN jury. “How is it possible that all the personnel participating in the development of ECNs can lead to such a situation? “Asks, bitterly, the Association of Medical Students of France (ANEMF).
Released, delivered from # ECNi2017 ! 21 hours of tests, 600 multiple choice questions, 3000 boxes to tick. End of the “joke” #PromoFiasco bow out! pic.twitter.com/x74ZfjKLPB

A criticism shared by the conference of deans of medical schools. In a statement, they salute the “courage and dignity” of the students. “The heart of the medical profession is knowing how to deal with unforeseen circumstances, often in difficult conditions; this does not mean to suffer them or not to learn to avoid them, ”they denounce.
Never again
For the deans, these dysfunctions must allow the implementation of measures so that this does not happen again. For example, they offer the possibility of simply canceling the leaked subject without canceling the entire session.
The deans also recommend the establishment of a traceability of the files and of each stage of their modification or verification, as well as a precision of the penalties incurred by the teachers who would reveal the subjects transmitted to the jury.
Measures eagerly awaited by students who want heads to fall. On Facebook groups, the names of professors presumed responsible circulate, as well as their photos and their personal addresses.
It is in this turbulent climate that a crisis meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, June 27 with Agnès Buzyn, Minister of Solidarity and Health, and Frédérique Vidal, Minister of Higher Education.
