Abstract
Since 2010, the postgraduate training diploma in laboratory medicine has experienced a strong decline in its attractiveness to French medical students. This work aims to objectify and quantify this decline between 2004 and 2021. To do so, we have carried out an analyze of the trend to choose laboratory medicine after the national ranking review performed by all French students. Then, we have also compiled the data on the right to change one’s mind and final quits from laboratory medicine postgraduate training. The laboratory medicine reform has led to deep changes in its organization. The accreditation requirements, the laboratories grouping, as well as the financialization of this activity have strongly changed the work of laboratory physician and impacted its attractiveness for the young generations.
期刊介绍:
Multidisciplinary information with direct relevance to everyday practice
Annales de Biologie Clinique, the official journal of the French Society of Clinical Biology (SFBC), supports biologists in areas including continuing education, laboratory accreditation and technique validation.
With original articles, abstracts and accounts of everyday practice, the journal provides details of advances in knowledge, techniques and equipment, as well as a forum for discussion open to the entire community.
