AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This order updates the list of specialist options and cross-disciplinary training pathways available in France’s postgraduate medical education system. It changes the official framework for several medical specialty diplomas, including intensive care, cardiology, oncology, pediatrics, psychiatry, radiology, nephrology, pulmonology, neurology, gastroenterology and public health. Medical students, universities, teaching hospitals and training coordinators will need to use the revised lists when organizing specialty tracks, allocating placements and advising residents. The practical effect is to clarify which advanced options are available under each medical specialty diploma and which transversal specialist trainings can be followed during residency.
