For the students, confidence in hospitals is shaken. Informed on April 8 of a measure applied retroactively since March 1, the students provided guards who were not going to be paid.This delay really left little time for adaptation to find alternatives, at least for the students who were put in sometimes very delicate situations.“, specifies Elias Fariss. The CIUM therefore evokes a loss of confidence in hospitals.
“This in no way represents a lack of consideration, it is simply an imperative at the administrative level which pushes us to have to suspend these expenses for the moment“, declares Pierre Wauthy. For him, teaching and the involvement of students in training are essential elements. Future doctors are demanding the reinstatement of these payments as well as compensation for services already provided.
The time has come to centralize opinions for student representatives.”I can just confirm to you that there is a large majority of students who agree that the situation is unacceptable.“, explains Elias Fariss. However, no mobilization is expected.
In a press release, the Federation of French-speaking Students (FEF) expresses its concern about a measure that it considers detrimental to the living conditions of medical students. While calling for a legal solution guaranteeing their financial security.
