Vocational insertion in the health sector of students forced to reorient their goals

Objective

Most European countries have complied with the request of the Permanent Committee of European Community Doctors to impose a quota on the number of students accepted in medical faculties. Many have extended this rule to apply to the entire health sector (medicine, pharmacology, dentistry). As a result, many young people who are already involved in this area have been affected by this quota system and find themselves forced to choose a different career path. Many of them choose the paramedical sector.

This project proposes to identify all the qualifications needed in this sector and to define a orientation or reorientation methodology which will take into account the balance between supply and demand.

The important aspects of this methodology will be: detecting latent need; feasibility studies to acquire skills in the light of new careers which will have to be evaluated in terms of contents and development; and developing new methods of validation and certification for qualified and graduate training in co-operation with the professional partners in question. Emphasis will be placed on alternative measures, particularly within the scope of teaching. As this problem is shared among several European countries, the process could be pursued with transnational partners.

Impact
Identifying new qualifications will help create a proper balance between need and development. In so doing, it will encourage the vocational insertion of young people into their second choice sector.
