Teamedup Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Just about my doctors son. Got through his first year of med school, first time.Now, if you don't know about the system here, that makes him a star because it is so darned hard to achieve.At the biggest CHU around here they take in a thousand med students every year. And pass 80. And out of the 80 that pass each year, 80 percent have resat the year. So that makes our doctor's son rather exceptional doesn't it. They are only allowed to take the year first year twice and then are out on their ears. Many go off to become physiotherapists or some such other thing. And still may need a years prep course before even starting a physiotherapy course. Needless to say our doctor is delighted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Redman Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Very interesting and great news for the familly. What a very wasteful both in time and emotion system though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
