“The pandemic has shown it, even the limited number must be abrogated”. It is one of the slogans shouted this morning outside the Sapienza University of Rome to protest against the limited number in Medicine. Today the test for access to Faculties throughout Italy. At the entrance of the Roman university, over 4 thousand candidates are divided into different locations. Long lines of students with masks on and documents in hand as required by anti-Covid regulations. The controls in fact require that one student enter at a time. On the one hand, therefore, about fifty boys protest against the entrance test, on the other hundreds of peers are queuing up to enter and carry out the test that could make their white coat dream come true.
–“Enough with the limited number – explains to Adnkronos Salute Lorenzo Lang, national secretary of the Communist Youth Front, one of the associations that today preside over the Sapienza – The pandemic has shown that doctors and nurses are needed. The time has come to abolish the number. closed”. Another slogan of the demonstrators, of the Udu (Union of university students), is “let’s defend public health”.
“I chose Medicine because that’s what I want to do in life – underlines Giulia, a twenty-year-old Roman at the first attempt to enter the Faculty – I agree with the protests, but if there is the test it must be passed. Let’s hope well”. Many parents who accompanied their children. “I am very against the limited number – says a mother – It makes no sense, luck counts too much. My son has been preparing all summer and I hope he will enter”.
GAUDIO: ‘CLOSED NUMBER IS NOT A PROBLEM’ – The limited number to Medicine “is not the real problem, the question is the places for specializations. The more doctors we train, the fewer post-graduate scholarships there will be. This only increases the training environment. The real problem, therefore, is to act on specialization schools because the programmed number is present in all medical universities in the world. It is necessary to provide quality training, we cannot enter an indiscriminate number of people who then cannot carry out the exercises and courses: we would train doctors from which I would not want to be cured “. This was stated by the rector of the Sapienza University of Rome, Eugenio Gaudio, speaking to journalists outside the classrooms before the start of the test for Medicine and commenting on the protests against the limited number in front of the university.
“This year the number of places in Medicine has increased, from 10 thousand to over 13 thousand. It is a number considered by the Federation of Medical Orders to be an even excessive number”, concluded Gaudio.
