study in French higher education institutions.
Medical education in France takes about 9 years. For
admission, you usually need to confirm your knowledge of the
French language (DELF) and pass a certificate competition.
Different medical programs in France will have
different tuition fees. The cost will largely depend on
whether you want to study at a public or private
University. As a prospective student, you should
expect that tuition fees at public universities will cost
around 450 euros per year. Private educational
institutions are much more expensive, the cost of
training is about 7,000 euros per year.

the required seminars. The national exam gives access to 11 specialties, the

The internship in General medicine lasts for three years and includes hospital care, as well as six
months of interaction with a medical practitioner. Residency (internship) in other specialties, it lasts from
four to five years, depending on the field.
DES programs can be followed by an additional specialized training program leading to
Diplôme d'études Spécialisées Complémentaires (DESC, Diploma in additional special studies)
after another twelve to eighteen months of study. DESC, combined with a short dissertation in
medicine, leads to the national state diploma of doctor of medical Sciences (MD).

the internship program. Students can only participate in the
competition twice.
The Intern doctor performs rounds in the Department,
conducts outpatient appointments of patients, is constantly on
duty in the emergency Department, performs diagnostic and
therapeutic procedures.
At the end of the internship, the doctor passes exams and
receives a diploma of special education-a certificate of completion
of the internship. After receiving a diploma, a doctor can
continue their training in a narrower medical or biomedical
specialty.
