ULE is on hold again pending an appointment with Lucas to implement the medicine

Last week, the rector of the University of Burgos, Manuel Pérez Mateos, asked the Junta de Castilla y León for “not just the will but a political decision” to establish medical faculties on the campuses of Burgos and León. This, like Marín, who recalled that Castilla y León is below the majority of autonomous communities in terms of places where medicine is taught – only in Salamanca and Valladolid -, therefore inaccessible to put them into practice. There are no obstacles visible. Both Burgos and León are marching.

For this reason, he does not understand the refusal of the regional government to create a technical commission to carry out the economic assessment necessary for the implementation of this degree on both campuses. Although he stressed that the report submitted by the University of Burgos for the request for this degree is “very complete”, he was pessimistic about the possibility that it could be evaluated in the next Council of Universities, since it is something that Depends on the ministry. Education.

The University of Lyon has already taken all steps and has also formed a committee of experts to convince the board that it is capable of offering this degree. Most of all, in the current context, where these professionals are in demand and even health ministries and universities are promoting the expansion of locations. However, the Board has always been reluctant to grant this title to Burgos and León, causing misgivings even among the Rector of the University of Salamanca, Ricardo Rivero.

The Leonese Rector has also always remembered that with the Medicines for Burgos and León the process has been reversed. Till now, universities were given approval for the implementation of a degree and later, they had to prepare the related report, whereas in the case of this degree it has been done in the opposite manner, hence both the universities are already preparing for it. Have to do. Required documents.

Thus, the decision regarding education is pending to know if León and Burgos will finally have degrees in Medicine and thus complement what Salamanca and Valladolid already offer to meet the demand for doctors. Are.
