So far so good…
I finally got the temporary results from the first semester of Med’ school (temporary because it’s only 40% of the total, we still have the second part in May): Among roughly 2300 people I’m ranked 252 with only 377 places to fill. Which means I need to maintain (or improve […]
Overall, this year they increased the Numerus Clausus (the number of students admitted in the 2nd year of med’ schools) from 7100 to 7300.
So far so good (well, IMO, it’s not enough), but… they decreased the number in my university!! From 383 places last year to 377 this year, with roughly 2400 students […]
Voici des videos d’un documentaire qui est passé sur Arte sur les études médicales. On peut même y reconnaitre notre super amphi Binet dans l’épisode 5
Assez interessant, malheureusement il n’y a pas tous les episodes sur dailymotion…

I told one girl from my class the other day about “my odd past”.
I’m not sure why yet. I was at a point where I had to either lie or tell the truth, and she didn’t deserve a lie. But at the same time I could have easily avoided the situation by being less open […]
That’s it, Monday was the day: first day and first week in Med’ school.
The first day was quite… interesting. Check this video out, singing (at some point the teacher even joins in), sex demonstrations and even… nudity :p
Paris Descartes Médecine - Premier jour - SP1
Otherwise a couple of stats, observations and comments:
In the first year […]
Apparently my med’ school is going to be at Paris V Descartes.
I would have preferred Paris XII for various reasons (more medical and smaller classes for instance) but O well… That’d do it too.
On the up sides the location is gorgeous and the hospitals associated with it for the internships are really great too. But […]
In France, medical school is quite different than in USA. Anyone who graduated from high school can get in, but the first year is very competitive: you have exams wherein you are ranked, and at the end of the first year only the top 10% or so can make it through. In some way, instead […]
As you may have noticed, I had been quite quiet during March and Avril. I think it may now be a good time to reflect on what happened: I moved back to France, “definitely”, leaving my friends, my nicely-paid job, and my life as I now had used it to be, “to purse other opportunities” […]
