Hi!
I'm a Italian boy who studies "Medicine & Surgery Course" in Bari's University (in Italy). I'm interesting in the transfer from the Italian university to the Nancy's one but i have some questions:
1) the Italian Medicine & Surgery Course lasts 6 years, subdivided in the first 3 years (the pre-clinical period) with the teaching of the bases of medicine (histology, embriology, citology, anatomy, chemical,
physiology, biochemistry, etc...) and the last 3 years (the clinical period) with the teaching (in theory...) of the practical side of Medicine. In Italy, for becoming a student of the Medicine & Surgery Course of any university, it must exceed an National Income Test (why this course is to programmed number). I think to end my second year until July 2008 and try to transfer in Your university and here there is my doubts: if the transfer succeeds, what program I can studied? In
the end of the second year, we must have given these exams: all Chemical and Biochemistry, all Medical Physics, all Biology and General Genetic, Histology, Embriology and Human Genetic, General and Clinical Psycology, all Anatomy, Scientific English I, Computer Science, Medical Statistics I, Human Physiology I and more courses as Human Ethic, Medicine's History, Relationship Doctor-Patient and another "small" courses;
2) How much they pile the university taxes? (in Italy, they are tied to the yield and the average university)
3) How much distant Nancy from Saint Diè? There are good transport?

I hope, You help me (


Sorry for my ugly english but before I come in French, I'll studied French language

Thanks for the attention and the patience

Hello !!

Firstly, excuse me for my English... very hesitant !

Then, welcome to Nancy and our university, if you come here

1. In France, there are 6 years of common studies, at the faculty (the first year end with the competitive examination, very difficult - the second and third (called "P2" and "D1", pre-clinical period) consist of theoretical lectures, like anatomy, physiology, histology, semiology, ... - after this, you become a non-resident student at a teaching hospital : shared between the faculty (theoretical), and the hospital, pratical), and then there are 3 additional years to become a generalist, 4 years to become a medical specialist, and 5 for surgical specialities. (when you are intern, "houseman").

So, if you come to Nancy at the end of your second year, apparently it'll be quite easy, because the programm you studie and the program we studie is almost the same : Chemical and Biochemistry, Medical Physics, Biology and General Genetic, Histology, Embriology and Human Genetic, General and Clinical Psycology, Anatomy, Computer Science, Medical Statistics I, Human Physiology, Human Ethic, Medicine's History, Relationship Doctor-Patient : that is the program of the first and second years.
But here we start to learn Semiology : the basis of cariology, pneumology, etc etc... so I advise you to start learning that.

2. Concerning the university taxes, I'm sorry but I don't remember

3. Saint Dié is in the Vosges, and I don't know this part of France
But I know there are trains between the two.
So, if you want to go to St Dié during the week-end, it's possible - but it's quite a long way from Nancy all the same, so I think it's impossible to live in St Dié and do the outward / return trip all the days.



Hum... if you have others questions, don't hesit to ask them We'll try to answer

And once again, excuse me for my bad english... I understand it but it's very difficult for me to speak !!

Good bye and good luck !

je trouve excellent ton inglese (probablement mieux de mon :p)

je te remercie infiniement pour m'avoir répondu en ainsi bref temps!
pour l'instant je viendrai en France à décembre/janvier (devrais venir en congé mais je porterai avec moi les livres de biochimique et l'anatomie!), ainsi on ferai un tour même de ces parties en ce qui concerne la distance, ai vu qu'avec le train on emploie environ 50 minutes et ne pense pas soit beaucoup... ou peut-être est-il trop?

(autre question la chose qui me pousse à venir en France est deux faits : premier purquoi ai-je découvert d'avoir des parents qui habitent voisin St Diè, seconde purquoi ai lu que déjà du second an est possible faire des stage prés de l'hôpital, chose qui ici en Italie est impensable!!!
mais pour participer à ces stage il y a besoin de se payer une assurance? m'a-t-il semblé de légères que l'université satisfaite pour ces stage?

(dernière question est-il possible étudier et travailler ? ma plus grande peur est celle devoir demander de l'argent à mes parents!

si remarquées quelque chose d'étrange dans ce français est parce que j'ai utilisé un traducteur italien - français (je répète : avant décembre j'apprendrai un peu de français )

Uomobianco bongiorno !

Scusa per la qualità dell'italiano ma non ho praticato da un'anno...

Non ho ben capito la tua situazione : viverei a Saint-Dié o a Nancy ? Per che fare il vaggio da St-Dié fino a Nancy impieggue più di un'ora..; e dopo devi andare dalla stazione alla facoltà. Quindi, spero che tu possa scegliere di vivere a Nancy...

All'inizio del secondo anno in Francia, abbiamo 3 settimane da studiare all'ospedale ma come infermiere : le vere studie pratice all'ospedale comminciano soltanto all'inizio del quarto anno...
Devi sapere pure che per fare questi "stage", dovrai sottoscrire a quello che chiamiamo un'assicurezza Responsabiltà Civile Professionale.(RCP)

Per finire, direi che è molto difficile conciliare i studi et un lavoro..., ma è un pensiere molto personale...

Buona fortuna a te e a presto a Nancy !

merci Serautonyn, ton italien est bien accepte!
me sait tant que (si je ne vaincs pas au bingo ^^) devrai continuer à étudier et me passer la licence en Italie mais (ceci le sais pour certain!) je viendrai en France pour la spécialisation si je devais décider de devenir chirurgien.
sapete ai lu divergés post et dois dire que malgré la distance, beaucoup de doutes, peurs et joies ils restent toujours ce!
SOUHAITS à VOUS TOUS FUTURS MÉDECINS

ps: de toute façon personne il m'enlèvera le congé blanc en France (précisément à Saulcy-Sur-Meurthe)!

As Serautonyn said, I think it'll be very difficult for you to reconcile the medical studies and a job, cause it's very time-consuming...
Moreover, living in St Dié and studying in Nancy will be very difficult to... But you can rent out a flat in Nancy.

Concerning the hospital courses, they begin in the 4° year, but you can go to the hospital before if you want.

So, good luck !!
