ANDFree entry, six months of courses and then the trial exams: to enter the Faculty of Medicine a new method is hypothesized that is certainly more reasonable than the absurd tests with which we currently have to deal. The idea of the Ministry of University and Research is, essentially, that to provide a filter period that allows you to attend characterizing courses. After that, the results will decide whether the student will be able to continue or will have to leave.
Medicine test, things change
The acceleration towards a real reform of access to the Faculty arises because the Ministry had to postpone the 2024 selective sessions, due to the endless appeals against the Tolc Med system, i.e. the famous tests now contested by students and institutions. Given the strong opposition to this type of quiz even in some sentences, politicians are finally evaluating the opportunity to radically change the entry system.

The next selections
The intention of the Mur, in the face of the situation that has arisen, is to overcome the TOLC system from the next tests and to organize the tests with questions that will be drawn from an open and public database of thousands of questions. In this way, students will be able to practice on them before the test, perhaps even finding some during the exam. A bit like what happens with a driving license.
A real reform of medical tests
The aim of all the proposals is, however, the complete reform of the medical admission system which eliminates the cross test considered decidedly unsuitable for selecting aspiring Italian doctors, to replace it with an evaluation of the profit achieved after taking and passing the first year exams. In this way, anyone will be able to enroll in the first year, without limitations on numbers, and the possibility of distance learning without obligation to attend will therefore have to be foreseen, limited to the first year.
Increase the number of doctors
The hope is to be able to quickly complete the work in commission in such a way as to arrive in the Senate chamber by the end of January. This would definitively close the ugly parenthesis of the entrance tests to the Faculty of Medicine to which For years, many young people who aspired to become doctors were forced to do soin a period in which there was a great need, remaining instead excluded because they were “incapable” of answering questions that were, to say the least, extravagant.
