▁not ▁having ▁a ▁primary ▁oppon ent . ▁That ▁money ▁was ▁spent ▁on ▁advert ising ▁tout ing ▁A kin ▁as ▁" To o ▁conserv ative ," ▁for ▁Missouri . ▁In ▁ 2 0 1 2 , ▁National ▁Journal ▁named ▁A kin ▁one ▁of ▁ten ▁Republic ans ▁to ▁follow ▁on ▁Twitter . ▁ ▁A kin ▁faced ▁McC ask ill ▁and ▁Libert arian ▁nom ine e ▁Jonathan ▁D ine ▁in ▁the ▁general ▁election , ▁losing ▁to ▁McC ask ill ▁after ▁his ▁controvers ial ▁comments ▁on ▁ra pe ▁lost ▁him ▁a ▁great ▁deal ▁of ▁support . ▁ ▁Home ▁of ▁record ▁In ▁May ▁ 2 0 1 1 , ▁questions ▁were ▁raised ▁about ▁A kin ' s ▁official ▁address ▁for ▁voting . ▁For ▁most ▁of ▁his ▁political ▁career , ▁A kin ▁had ▁claimed ▁Town ▁and ▁Country ▁as ▁his ▁official ▁residence . ▁However , ▁according ▁to ▁the ▁Associ ated ▁Press ▁and ▁ ▁the ▁St . ▁Louis ▁Post - Dispatch , ▁A kin ▁moved ▁to ▁Wild wood , ▁in ▁far ▁western ▁St . ▁Louis ▁County , ▁som etime ▁between ▁ 2 0 0 7 ▁and ▁ 2 0 0 9 , ▁after ▁he ▁and ▁his ▁wife ▁purchased ▁a ▁second ▁home ▁there . ▁However , ▁he ▁continued ▁to ▁vote ▁as ▁a ▁Town ▁and ▁Country ▁resident , ▁and ▁signed ▁a ▁pol ling ▁place ▁log book ▁att est ing ▁to ▁his ▁living ▁there ▁in ▁April ▁ 2 0 1 1 . ▁ ▁In ▁a ▁local ▁news ▁interview , ▁on ▁August ▁ 1 9 , ▁ 2 0 1 2 , ▁discuss ing ▁abort
ion , ▁A kin ▁claimed ▁that ▁vict ims ▁of ▁what ▁he ▁described ▁as ▁" leg it imate ▁ra pe " ▁very ▁rarely ▁become ▁pre gn ant . ▁Air ing ▁on ▁St . ▁Louis ▁television ▁station ▁K TV I , ▁his ▁response ▁to ▁a ▁question ▁on ▁ra pe ▁exceptions ▁for ▁abort ion ▁was : ▁ ▁Well ▁you ▁know , ▁people ▁always ▁want ▁to ▁try ▁to ▁make ▁that ▁as ▁one ▁of ▁those ▁things , ▁well ▁how ▁do ▁you , ▁how ▁do ▁you ▁slice ▁this ▁particularly ▁t ough ▁sort ▁of ▁eth ical ▁question . ▁First ▁of ▁all , ▁from ▁what ▁I ▁understand ▁from ▁do ctors , ▁that ' s ▁really ▁rare . ▁If ▁it ' s ▁a ▁legit imate ▁ra pe , ▁the ▁female ▁body ▁has ▁ways ▁to ▁try ▁to ▁shut ▁that ▁whole ▁thing ▁down . ▁But ▁let ' s ▁assume ▁that ▁maybe ▁that ▁didn ' t ▁work ▁or ▁something . ▁I ▁think ▁there ▁should ▁be ▁some ▁pun ishment , ▁but ▁the ▁pun ishment ▁ought ▁to ▁be ▁on ▁the ▁rap ist ▁and ▁not ▁attack ing ▁the ▁child . ▁ ▁The ▁comments ▁from ▁A kin , ▁which ▁came ▁as ▁he ▁ran ▁for ▁the ▁U . S . ▁Senate ▁seat ▁held ▁by ▁Cla ire ▁McC ask ill , ▁almost ▁immediately ▁led ▁to ▁w ides p read ▁up ro ar . ▁The ▁term ▁" leg it imate ▁ra pe " ▁was ▁called ▁" lo ath some " ▁because ▁it ▁suggests ▁that ▁" there ▁are ▁different ▁categories ▁of ▁ra pe ▁— ▁some ▁real ▁and ▁awful ▁and ▁others ▁that ▁are ▁not
". ▁ ▁O thers ▁took ▁exception ▁to ▁the ▁phr asing ▁because ▁it ▁suggests ▁that ▁the ▁vict ims ▁who ▁do ▁become ▁pre gn ant ▁from ▁ra pe ▁may ▁be ▁lying . ▁His ▁claims ▁about ▁the ▁lik elihood ▁of ▁pre gn ancy ▁resulting ▁from ▁ra pe ▁were ▁seen ▁by ▁some ▁as ▁being ▁based ▁on ▁fr inge ▁ideas ▁like ▁stress - indu ced ▁mis car riage ▁or ▁Dr . ▁John ▁C . ▁Will ke ' s ▁" sp astic ▁tub es " ▁theory ▁introduced ▁in ▁ 1 9 8 5 ▁and ▁tra uma - based ▁theory ▁introduced ▁in ▁ 1 9 9 9 . ▁These ▁theories ▁are ▁not ▁accepted ▁by ▁the ▁majority ▁of ▁the ▁scientific ▁and ▁medical ▁community . ▁A kin ▁was ▁not ▁the ▁first ▁to ▁make ▁such ▁claims , ▁but ▁was ▁perhaps ▁one ▁of ▁the ▁most ▁recently ▁prominent . ▁ ▁The ▁comment ▁was ▁widely ▁character ized ▁as ▁mis og yn istic ▁and ▁reck lessly ▁in ac cur ate , ▁with ▁many ▁comment ators ▁remark ing ▁on ▁the ▁use ▁of ▁the ▁words ▁" leg it imate ▁ra pe ". ▁Rel ated ▁news ▁articles ▁c ited ▁a ▁ 1 9 9 6 ▁article ▁in ▁an ▁obst et rics ▁and ▁gy ne col ogy ▁journal , ▁which ▁found ▁that ▁ 5 % ▁of ▁women ▁who ▁were ▁ra ped ▁became ▁pre gn ant , ▁which ▁equ aled ▁about ▁ 3 2 , 0 0 0 ▁pre gn an cies ▁each ▁year ▁in ▁the ▁US ▁alone . ▁ ▁A ▁separate ▁ 2 0 0 3 ▁article ▁in ▁the ▁journal ▁Human
▁Nature ▁estimated ▁that ▁ra pes ▁are ▁twice ▁as ▁likely ▁to ▁result ▁in ▁pre gn an cies ▁as ▁cons ens ual ▁sex . ▁ ▁While ▁some ▁colle agues ▁such ▁as ▁Iowa ▁con gress man ▁Steve ▁King ▁and ▁Tennessee ▁state ▁sen ator ▁St ace y ▁Camp field ▁supported ▁A kin , ▁senior ▁figures ▁in ▁both ▁parties ▁condem ned ▁his ▁remarks ▁and ▁some ▁Republic ans ▁called ▁for ▁him ▁to ▁res ign . ▁In ▁the ▁resulting ▁fur or , ▁A kin ▁received ▁w ides p read ▁calls ▁to ▁drop ▁out ▁of ▁his ▁Senate ▁race ▁from ▁both ▁Republic ans ▁and ▁Democr ats . ▁ ▁A kin ▁apolog ized ▁for ▁his ▁g aff e , ▁saying ▁he ▁" miss po ke ." ▁His ▁campaign ▁ran ▁an ▁advert is ement ▁in ▁which ▁he ▁asked ▁vot ers ▁to ▁forg ive ▁him , ▁saying : ▁ ▁R ape ▁is ▁an ▁evil ▁act . ▁I ▁used ▁the ▁wrong ▁words ▁in ▁the ▁wrong ▁way ▁and ▁for ▁that ▁I ▁apolog ize . ▁As ▁the ▁father ▁of ▁two ▁daughters , ▁I ▁want ▁t ough ▁justice ▁for ▁pred ators . ▁I ▁have ▁a ▁comp ass ion ate ▁heart ▁for ▁the ▁vict ims ▁of ▁sexual ▁assault . ▁I ▁pray ▁for ▁them . ▁The ▁fact ▁is , ▁ra pe ▁can ▁lead ▁to ▁pre gn ancy . ▁The ▁truth ▁is , ▁ra pe ▁has ▁many ▁vict ims . ▁The ▁mistake ▁I ▁made ▁was ▁in ▁the ▁words ▁I ▁said , ▁not ▁in ▁the ▁heart ▁I ▁hold . ▁I ▁ask ▁for ▁your ▁forg iveness . ▁ ▁The ▁incident ▁was ▁seen ▁as ▁having
▁an ▁impact ▁on ▁A kin ' s ▁sen ate ▁race ▁and ▁the ▁Republic ans ' ▁ch ances ▁of ▁gain ing ▁a ▁majority ▁in ▁the ▁U .

▁forg iveness , ▁I ▁was ▁valid ating ▁the ▁will ful ▁mis inter pret ation ▁of ▁what ▁I ▁had ▁said ." ▁He ▁also ▁def ended ▁his ▁original ▁comments ▁and ▁attacked ▁various ▁Republic ans ▁for ▁" wr ong ing " ▁him , ▁including ▁Karl ▁R ove ; ▁former ▁National ▁Republican ▁Sen atorial ▁Committee ▁Executive ▁Director ▁Rob ▁Jes mer ; ▁Sen ators ▁Mitch ▁Mc Con nell , ▁John ▁Corn yn , ▁John ▁McC ain , ▁Roy ▁Bl unt ▁and ▁Lind sey ▁Graham ; ▁and ▁House ▁Spe aker ▁John ▁Bo eh ner . ▁He ▁also ▁repeatedly ▁attacked ▁the ▁Republican ▁establishment ▁for ▁seeing ▁his ▁comments ▁" as ▁their ▁opportunity ▁to ▁take ▁[ me ] ▁out ▁and ▁select ▁someone ▁more ▁pal atable ▁to ▁their ▁t ast es ", ▁and ▁the ▁" li ber al ▁media " ▁for ▁making ▁him ▁" the ▁target ▁of ▁a ▁media ▁assass ination ." ▁ ▁Personal ▁life ▁A kin ▁married ▁L ul li ▁Bo e , ▁a ▁gradu ate ▁of ▁H oll ins ▁University , ▁in ▁June ▁ 1 9 7 5 . ▁The ▁couple ▁has ▁six ▁children . ▁L ul li ▁became ▁a ▁home ▁school ing ▁activ ist , ▁and ▁all ▁of ▁the ▁children ▁were ▁home - sch oo led . ▁Three ▁sons ▁attended ▁the ▁Naval ▁Academy ▁and ▁became ▁officers ▁in ▁the ▁Mar ines . ▁One ▁of ▁his ▁sons ▁served ▁in ▁the ▁assault ▁on ▁Fall uj ah , ▁Ira q . ▁ ▁A kin ▁enjo ys ▁playing ▁guitar ▁and ▁singing ▁g ospel ▁songs , ▁and ▁over ▁the ▁years , ▁has ▁dressed ▁in ▁Revolution ary

ons ▁were ▁considered ▁to ▁be ▁separate ▁prof essions . ▁Sur ge ons ▁were ▁known ▁as ▁bar ber ▁sur ge ons . ▁ ▁The ▁university ▁system ▁was ▁abol ished ▁in ▁ 1 7 9 3 ▁and ▁replaced ▁the ▁following ▁year ▁by ▁four ▁medical ▁schools ▁in ▁Paris , ▁Mont pel lier , ▁Bor de aux ▁and ▁Str as bourg . ▁ ▁With ▁the ▁creation ▁of ▁the ▁Imperial ▁University ▁in ▁ 1 8 0 8 , ▁medical ▁schools ▁re open ed ▁their ▁fac ult ies ▁and ▁expanded ▁across ▁France . ▁▁ 1 9 th ▁century ▁In ▁the ▁ 1 9 th ▁century , ▁new ▁practical ▁training ▁schools ▁were ▁established ▁in ▁response ▁to ▁the ▁rapid ▁technical ▁evolution ▁of ▁medicine ▁and ▁the ▁medi ocr ity ▁of ▁university ▁theoretical ▁teaching . ▁Accept ance ▁into ▁these ▁practical ▁training ▁programs ▁was ▁restricted ▁and ▁highly ▁sought ▁after , ▁as ▁hosp it als ▁were ▁syn onymous ▁with ▁the ▁el ite . ▁Medical ▁students ▁began ▁to ▁neglect ▁their ▁fac ulty ▁exam in ations ▁to ▁prepare ▁for ▁these ▁practical ▁training ▁entrance ▁exam in ations ▁and ▁it ▁was ▁possible ▁that ▁upon ▁comple ting ▁their ▁studies , ▁they ▁had ▁not ▁seen ▁a ▁single ▁patient . ▁▁ 2 0 th ▁century ▁Hospital ▁re forms ▁in ▁ 1 9 5 8 ▁merged ▁the ▁teaching ▁functions ▁of ▁hosp it als ▁and ▁univers ities , ▁creating ▁the ▁position ▁of ▁University ▁Professor ▁and ▁Hospital ▁Pract ition er ▁( Pro f esseur ▁des ▁univers ités ▁– ▁Pr atic ien ▁hospital ier , ▁P UP H ). ▁One ▁goal ▁of ▁the ▁re forms ▁was
▁to ▁reduce ▁the ▁number ▁of ▁gradu ates ▁moving ▁to ▁private ▁practice . ▁ ▁Following ▁the ▁events ▁of ▁May ▁ 1 9 6 8 ▁protest s ▁in ▁France , ▁practical ▁training ▁entrance ▁restrictions ▁were ▁removed : ▁all ▁medical ▁students ▁received ▁practical ▁training . ▁Pract ical ▁and ▁theoretical ▁training ▁were ▁finally ▁combined ▁into ▁a ▁single ▁course , ▁based ▁on ▁the ▁ 1 9 5 8 ▁ideal ▁of ▁the ▁Centre ▁Hospital ier ▁Univers itaire . ▁Following ▁the ▁Fa ure ▁reform , ▁medical ▁colleg es ▁were ▁integrated ▁into ▁univers ities ▁as ▁U ER ▁( from ▁ 1 9 8 4 , ▁research ▁and ▁teaching ▁cent res ▁" U FR "). ▁ ▁This ▁reform , ▁along ▁with ▁the ▁general ▁population ▁increase , ▁led ▁to ▁a ▁large ▁sur ge ▁in ▁student ▁numbers . ▁ ▁In ▁ 1 9 7 1 ▁this ▁resulted ▁in ▁a ▁fixed ▁number ▁of ▁training ▁places ▁in ▁ex ams ▁at ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁the ▁first ▁year ▁of ▁medical ▁studies ▁ ▁Until ▁the ▁ 1 9 9 0 s , ▁any ▁doctor ▁could ▁become ▁a ▁special ist , ▁either ▁by ▁taking ▁the ▁select ive ▁hospital ▁resident ial ▁path way , ▁or ▁by ▁taking ▁the ▁open ▁access ▁university ▁path way ▁resulting ▁in ▁a ▁lower - status ▁certificate ▁of ▁special ized ▁studies ▁( THE SE ). ▁The ▁result ▁was ▁a ▁two - speed ▁medical ▁system , ▁divided ▁between ▁THE SE ▁gradu ates ▁and ▁“ former ▁intern s ” ▁and ▁“ former ▁senior ▁hospital ▁registr ars ”. ▁ ▁A ▁reform ▁dropped ▁the ▁THE SE ▁medical ▁certific ates , ▁returning ▁to
▁oblig atory ▁intern ships ▁for ▁the ▁“ ord inal ▁qual ification ” ▁special ists , ▁through ▁diplom as ▁of ▁special ized ▁studies ▁( OF ) ▁to ▁supp lement ▁the ▁di pl oma ▁of ▁Doctor ▁of ▁Medicine . ▁Intern s ▁were ▁required ▁to ▁spend ▁part ▁of ▁their ▁training ▁in ▁a ▁non - ac ade mic ▁“ per i pher al ▁hospital ” ▁belonging ▁to ▁a ▁regional ▁hospital ▁centre ▁( CH R ). ▁ ▁Rec ent ▁changes ▁Until ▁ 2 0 0 4 , ▁future ▁general ▁pract ition ers ▁did ▁not ▁sit ▁the ▁entrance ▁ex ams ▁for ▁intern ships . ▁ ▁Their ▁second ▁cycle ▁was ▁followed ▁by ▁two ▁and ▁a ▁half ▁year ▁“ rés idan at ” ▁( three ▁years ▁for ▁residents ▁starting ▁in ▁or ▁after ▁ 2 0 0 1 ). ▁Since ▁ 2 0 0 4 , ▁a ▁new ▁reform ▁has ▁been ▁applied : ▁all ▁medical ▁students ▁must ▁pass ▁the ▁national ▁class ifying ▁exam ination . ▁The ▁rés idan at ▁was ▁replaced ▁with ▁an ▁intern ship ▁in ▁general ▁medicine , ▁helping ▁to ▁raise ▁the ▁status ▁of ▁general ▁practice ▁as ▁a ▁profession . ▁ ▁From ▁the ▁▁ 2 0 1 0 ▁academic ▁year , ▁the ▁medical ▁first ▁year ▁course ▁is ▁common ▁with ▁ph arm acy , ▁dent istry ▁and ▁mid w if ery , ▁and ▁medical ▁studies ▁fall ▁under ▁the ▁process ▁of ▁Bolog na . ▁ ▁Organ ization ▁Medical ▁studies ▁proceed ▁in ▁three ▁cycles ▁within ▁a ▁university ▁having ▁a ▁unit ▁of ▁" formation " ▁and ▁medical ▁research ▁( s ometimes ▁a ▁combination ▁of ▁medicine
▁and ▁ph arm ac ology ), ▁associated ▁with ▁the ▁one ▁of ▁the ▁ 2 9 ▁university ▁hosp it als . ▁ ▁Their ▁total ▁duration ▁var ies ▁from ▁nine ▁years ▁( general ▁medicine ) ▁to ▁ 1 2 ▁years ▁( another ▁special ity ▁plus ▁a ▁sub - special ity ). ▁ ▁First ▁cycle ▁of ▁medical ▁studies ▁The ▁first ▁cycle ▁of ▁medical ▁studies ▁( in ▁summary ▁P CE M ) ▁takes ▁two ▁years , ▁with ▁a ▁" con c ours " ▁( comp et itive ▁final ▁exam ) ▁at ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁the ▁first ▁year ▁selecting ▁students ▁admitted ▁to ▁continue ▁medical ▁or ▁dent al ▁studies . ▁ ▁National ▁law ▁spec ifies ▁that ▁the ▁teaching ▁of ▁the ▁first ▁cycle ▁and ▁the ▁first ▁year ▁of ▁the ▁second ▁cycle ▁must ▁teach ▁the ▁following ▁discipl ines ▁or ▁discipl inary ▁units : ▁physics , ▁bi oph ys ics ▁and ▁image ▁processing ; ▁chem istry , ▁bio chem istry , ▁cell ular ▁and ▁mole cular ▁bi ology ; ▁an atom y , ▁emb ry ology , ▁development al ▁and ▁re product ive ▁bi ology ; ▁c yt ology , ▁hist ology ▁and ▁path ological ▁an atom y ; ▁b acter i ology , ▁v iro log y ▁and ▁par as it ology ; ▁fundamental ▁h emat ology , ▁imm un ology ▁and ▁on col ogy ; ▁gen et ics ▁and ▁bi ote chn ologies ; ▁phys i ology ▁and ▁nut r ition ; ▁ph arm ac ology ▁and ▁major ▁classes ▁of ▁dru gs ; ▁ep ide mi ology ▁and ▁bi ost
at istics ; ▁clin ical ▁and ▁bi ological ▁semi ot ics ▁and ▁ ▁medical ▁imag ery ▁termin ology ; ▁first ▁aid ; ▁dem ography , ▁health ▁econom ics , ▁and ▁health ▁systems . ▁ ▁Te aching ▁must ▁also ▁include ▁foreign ▁languages , ▁ep ist em ology , ▁psych ology , ▁medical ▁eth ics ▁and ▁de ont ology . ▁ ▁First ▁year ▁( until ▁ 2 0 0 9 ) ▁The ▁first ▁year ▁academic ▁cycle ▁for ▁medical ▁students ▁is ▁common ▁with ▁dent istry ▁and ▁mid w if ery . ▁ ▁Re quire ments ▁during ▁ ▁the ▁first ▁year ▁include : ▁physics , ▁bi oph ys ics , ▁chem istry , ▁bio chem istry ▁and ▁mole cular ▁bi ology , ▁cell ular ▁bi ology , ▁phys i ology , ▁an atom y , ▁hist ology , ▁and ▁emb ry ology . ▁ ▁First ▁year ▁( as ▁from ▁ 2 0 1 0 ) ▁The ▁first ▁year ▁of ▁the ▁studies ▁of ▁health ▁( P AC ES ) ▁is ▁common ▁to ▁the ▁medical ▁studies , ▁dent al , ▁ph arma ce ut ical ▁and ▁mid w ife ▁( s ometimes ▁also ▁k ines ither apy ). ▁ ▁It ▁is ▁divided ▁into ▁two ▁six - month ▁periods . ▁ ▁To ▁be ▁allowed ▁to ▁be ▁registered ▁in ▁first ▁year ▁of ▁the ▁studies ▁of ▁health , ▁the ▁candidates ▁must ▁have ▁one ▁of ▁the ▁following ▁qual ifications : ▁a ▁b ac cala ure ate ▁degree ; ▁a ▁di pl oma ▁of ▁" access ▁to ▁academic ▁works "; ▁a ▁French ▁di pl
oma ▁or ▁foreign ▁di pl oma ▁that ▁can ▁be ▁considered ▁equivalent ▁to ▁the ▁b ac cala ure at ▁purs u ant ▁to ▁the ▁national ▁reg ulation ; ▁a ▁qual ification ▁or ▁an ▁achiev ement ▁considered ▁to ▁be ▁sufficient . ▁ ▁As ▁for ▁any ▁formation ▁of ▁system ▁L MD , ▁the ▁year ▁is ▁divided ▁in ▁two ▁six - month ▁periods ▁and ▁“ un its ▁of ▁teaching ” ▁( E U ) ▁which ▁are ▁seen ▁all ot ting ▁a ▁certain ▁number ▁of ▁appropri ations ▁E CT S . ▁ ▁In ▁first ▁half ▁of ▁the ▁year , ▁the ▁less on ▁is ▁common ▁to ▁all ▁the ▁fields . ▁Test s ▁are ▁organized ▁at ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁this ▁one ; ▁the ▁badly ▁class ified ▁students ▁can ▁be ▁re orient ated ▁in ▁other ▁university ▁fields . ▁ ▁With ▁the ▁second ▁half - year , ▁the ▁students ▁choose ▁one ▁or ▁of ▁the ▁EU ▁specific ▁( S ) ▁to ▁a ▁field , ▁in ▁addition ▁to ▁the ▁common ▁formation . ▁ ▁The ▁students ▁pass ▁a ▁competition ▁at ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁the ▁year ▁leading ▁to ▁four ▁class ifications . ▁ ▁The ▁first ▁year ▁may ▁only ▁be ▁repeated ▁once . ▁The ▁grade ▁is ▁final ▁if ▁the ▁student ▁fails ▁to ▁pass ▁twice . ▁ ▁Second ▁year ▁The ▁second ▁year ▁( in ▁summary ▁P CE M ▁ 2 ▁or ▁P 2 ) ▁begins ▁with ▁four ▁weeks ▁of ▁oblig atory ▁and ▁non - rem un er ated ▁nur se ▁pla cement . ▁ ▁It ▁takes ▁place ▁during ▁the ▁hol id ays ▁preceding ▁the ▁re - entry ▁by
▁the ▁students ▁admitted ▁in ▁second ▁year ▁of ▁medicine ▁or ▁od ont ology . ▁ ▁Last ly , ▁a ▁more ▁medical ▁matter , ▁the ▁semi ot ics , ▁tradition ally ▁taught ▁in ▁third ▁year , ▁is ▁at ▁the ▁present ▁time ▁transferred ▁in ▁second ▁year ▁in ▁most ▁univers ities , ▁in ▁order ▁to ▁improve ▁the ▁range ▁of ▁the ▁clin ical ▁training ▁courses ▁of ▁second ▁and ▁third ▁years ▁( us ually ▁called ▁“ training ▁courses ▁of ▁check list ” ▁or ▁“ training ▁course ▁of ▁semi ot ics ” ). ▁ ▁The ▁first ▁cycle ▁of ▁the ▁medical ▁studies ▁follows ▁a ▁national ▁plan , ▁but ▁the ▁organization ▁between ▁the ▁two ▁years ▁var ies ▁between ▁the ▁univers ities . ▁ ▁In ▁the ▁same ▁way , ▁there ▁exist ▁three ▁types ▁of ▁teaching : ▁linear ▁teaching : ▁each ▁matter ▁is ▁taught ▁separately ▁( an atom y , ▁hist ology , ▁bi oph ys ics , ▁etc .). ▁ ▁This ▁type ▁of ▁teaching ▁does ▁not ▁require ▁great ▁coord ination ▁between ▁the ▁profess ors , ▁but ▁it ▁can ▁lead ▁to ▁great ▁redund an cies , ▁even ▁with ▁contradict ions . ▁integrated ▁teaching : ▁the ▁students ▁have ▁modules ▁gather ing ▁of ▁the ▁less on ▁of ▁various ▁discipl ines ▁around ▁the ▁same ▁appar atus . ▁ ▁For ▁example , ▁a ▁module ▁of ▁neu ros ci ences ▁includes / under stand s ▁the ▁an atom y ▁and ▁the ▁hist ology ▁of ▁the ▁nerv ous ▁system , ▁sens ory ▁bi oph ys ics ▁and ▁the ▁ne uro bio ch im y . ▁ ▁The ▁student ▁follows ▁then
▁a ▁card iop ul mon ary ▁module , ▁a ▁dig est ive ▁module , ▁etc . ▁co ed uc ation : ▁certain ▁aspects ▁are ▁presented ▁in ▁integrated ▁teaching , ▁others ▁in ▁linear ▁teaching . ▁ ▁Second ▁cycle ▁of ▁medical ▁studies ▁ ▁In ▁four ▁years , ▁the ▁student ▁receives ▁a ▁formal ▁and ▁practical ▁training ▁ ▁on ▁the ▁various ▁path ologies ▁segment ed ▁in ▁modules : ▁trans verse ▁modules ▁( more ▁or ▁less ▁inter dis cipl inary ) ▁or ▁modules ▁of ▁body . ▁ ▁These ▁modules ▁are ▁the ▁class ifying ▁official ▁program ▁of ▁the ▁national ▁exam ination ▁( see ▁low ), ▁and ▁include ▁▁ ▁a ▁number ed ▁list ▁of ▁items ▁which ▁correspond ▁either ▁to ▁path ologies , ▁or ▁with ▁clin ical ▁or ▁th era pe ut ic ▁situations . ▁ ▁Third ▁year ▁of ▁medicine ▁The ▁third ▁year ▁of ▁medicine ▁( in ▁summary ▁D CE M ▁ 1 ▁or ▁D 1 ) ▁is ▁a ▁year ▁of ▁transition ▁where ▁the ▁student ▁lear ns ▁bi oc lin ical ▁sciences ▁( ph arm ac ology , ▁b acter i ology , ▁v iro log y , ▁par as it ology , ▁etc .) ▁which ▁make ▁the ▁interface ▁between ▁fundamental ▁sciences ▁of ▁the ▁first ▁cycle ▁and ▁less on ▁of ▁path ology . ▁ ▁They ▁also ▁learn ▁how ▁to ▁carry ▁out ▁the ▁an am n èse ▁( med ical ▁history ) ▁and ▁the ▁clin ical ▁exam ination ▁of ▁a ▁patient ▁at ▁the ▁time ▁of ▁their ▁clin ical ▁training ▁courses ▁( called ▁“ training ▁courses ▁of ▁check lists ”, ▁because ▁the ▁clin
ical ▁exam ination ▁linear ▁and ▁is ▁struct ured , ▁with ▁boxes ▁which ▁one ▁not ches ) ▁associated ▁with ▁teaching ▁with ▁semi ology . ▁They ▁start ▁with ▁the ▁first ▁modules . ▁ ▁C ertain ▁univers ities ▁start ▁the ▁hospital ▁training ▁courses ▁in ▁third ▁year , ▁the ▁clin ical ▁training ▁course ▁of ▁second ▁year ▁is ▁then ▁developed ▁further . ▁ ▁This ▁year ▁is ▁particularly ▁compatible ▁with ▁ ▁Er as mus ▁ex changes . ▁ ▁Extern ship ▁The ▁three ▁following ▁years ▁const itute ▁the ▁“ ex tern at ”. ▁ ▁This ▁term ▁of ▁every day ▁usage ▁( which ▁is ▁a ▁surv ival ▁of ▁the ▁old ▁contest ▁of ▁the ▁extern at ▁removed ▁following ▁the ▁demonstr ations ▁of ▁ 1 9 6 8 ) ▁does ▁not ▁officially ▁exist . ▁ ▁The ▁official ▁texts ▁and ▁the ▁internal ▁texts ▁of ▁the ▁CH U ▁and ▁the ▁univers ities ▁speak ▁about ▁“ h ospital ▁students ”, ▁because ▁the ▁students ▁are ▁rem un er ated ▁by ▁the ▁hospital ▁complex ▁to ▁which ▁the ▁university ▁is ▁attached . ▁ ▁They ▁are ▁paid ▁under ▁limited ▁time ▁contract , ▁attached ▁to ▁a ▁social ▁security ▁office . ▁ ▁The ▁student , ▁under ▁the ▁responsibility ▁for ▁an ▁intern ▁( n ono fficial ) ▁or ▁of ▁a ▁senior ▁( sen ior ▁registr ar ▁or ▁hospital ▁pract ition er ), ▁learn ▁how ▁to ▁recognize ▁the ▁various ▁signs ▁of ▁a ▁disease . ▁ ▁The ▁student ▁ ▁at ▁this ▁stage ▁does ▁not ▁have ▁th era pe ut ic ▁responsibility , ▁nor ▁the ▁right ▁to ▁pres cribe . ▁ ▁The ▁student ▁is ▁however ▁responsible
▁for ▁his ▁acts ▁( c ivil ▁responsibility , ▁which ▁requires ▁the ▁subscription ▁of ▁a ▁suitable ▁ins urance ). ▁ ▁The ▁extern at ▁generally ▁consists ▁of ▁four ▁training ▁courses ▁per ▁year , ▁three ▁months ▁in ▁each ▁special ty ▁service , ▁chosen ▁by ▁gr ids ▁at ▁the ▁beginning ▁of ▁each ▁year ▁or ▁quarter , ▁either ▁by ▁classification ▁with ▁the ▁mer it , ▁or ▁by ▁alphabet ical ▁classification . ▁ ▁The ▁training ▁courses ▁consist ▁of ▁five ▁m orn ings ▁per ▁week ▁in ▁the ▁services . ▁ ▁C ertain ▁training ▁courses ▁are ▁oblig atory ▁from ▁the ▁stat ut ory ▁texts ▁( ped iat rics , ▁obst et ric ▁g yna ec ology ▁surg ery , ▁internal ▁medicine ▁and ▁emer gency ▁medicine .), ▁and ▁can ▁then ▁integrate ▁theoretical ▁teaching ▁( the ▁student ▁is ▁t ▁present ▁at ▁the ▁hospital ▁all ▁the ▁day ). ▁ ▁Con vers ely , ▁certain ▁services ▁do ▁not ▁have ▁the ▁external ▁ones , ▁that ▁depends ▁on ▁the ▁agre ements ▁made ▁with ▁the ▁university . ▁ ▁C ertain ▁univers ities ▁replaced ▁the ▁half - time ▁( m orn ings ) ▁permanent ▁by ▁one ▁full - time ▁by ▁altern ation : ▁the ▁external ▁ones ▁are ▁then ▁present ▁all ▁the ▁day ▁but ▁only ▁ 6 ▁weeks ▁over ▁ 3 ▁months , ▁the ▁ 6 ▁remaining ▁weeks ▁being ▁devoted ▁to ▁the ▁less on , ▁the ▁exam in ations , ▁the ▁prepar ation ▁of ▁the ▁E CN … ▁ ▁During ▁the ▁extern at , ▁ ▁lect uring , ▁is ▁replaced ▁more ▁and ▁more ▁by ▁directed ▁work ; ▁the ▁lect ures
▁are ▁held ▁ ▁in ▁altern ation ▁with ▁hospital ▁training ▁courses : ▁this ▁teaching ▁is ▁that ▁of ▁a ▁true ▁trade - gu ild , ▁where ▁the ▁external ▁one ▁approaches ▁by ▁“ cl in ical ▁cases ” ▁of ▁true ▁situations ▁lived ▁in ▁the ▁services . ▁ ▁The ▁external ▁one ▁must , ▁during ▁its ▁three ▁years ▁of ▁extern at , ▁to ▁carry ▁out ▁ 3 6 ▁sessions ▁of ▁ 1 2 , ▁ 1 8 , ▁or ▁ 2 4 ▁hours ▁( acc ording ▁to ▁the ▁service ▁and ▁the ▁day ▁of ▁the ▁week ), ▁that ▁is ▁to ▁say ▁approximately ▁a ▁session ▁per ▁month , ▁rem un er ated ▁ 2 6 ▁eu ros ▁rough . ▁ ▁The ▁rem un er ation ▁of ▁the ▁training ▁courses ▁is ▁as ▁for ▁it ▁“ symbol ic ▁system ” ▁( appro xim ate ▁rem un er ation : ▁ 1 2 2 ▁eu ros ▁per ▁month ▁in ▁fourth ▁year , ▁ 2 3 7 ▁eu ros ▁in ▁fifth ▁year , ▁ 2 6 5 ▁eu ros ▁in ▁sixth ▁year ), ▁but ▁the ▁external ▁student ▁has ▁the ▁stat ute ▁of ▁a ▁paid ▁worker ▁and ▁cont ributes ▁to ▁the ▁paid ▁mode ▁of ▁ ▁social ▁security , ▁and ▁the ▁p ension ▁fund . ▁ ▁The ▁p ension ▁fund ▁complement ary ▁to ▁external ▁is ▁the ▁I RC AN TE C , ▁as ▁it ▁is ▁the ▁case ▁for ▁the ▁intern s ▁and ▁the ▁hospital ▁pract ition ers . ▁ ▁The ▁external ▁ones , ▁like ▁any ▁employee , ▁have ▁five ▁weeks ▁of ▁paid ▁vac ations . ▁
▁Since ▁ 2 0 0 4 , ▁the ▁second ▁cycle ▁of ▁the ▁medical ▁studies ▁is ▁san ction ed ▁by ▁a ▁di pl oma ▁( recogn ized ▁in ▁the ▁European ▁Union ). ▁ ▁Module ▁ 1 1 ▁of ▁the ▁second ▁cycle ▁is ▁the ▁old ▁certificate ▁of ▁clin ical ▁and ▁th era pe ut ic , ▁essential ▁synth esis ▁to ▁replace ▁a ▁general ▁doctor . ▁ ▁Third ▁cycle ▁of ▁the ▁medical ▁studies ▁Stud ents ▁able ▁to ▁reach ▁the ▁third ▁cycle ▁of ▁medical ▁studies ▁( T CE M ): ▁have ▁completed ▁the ▁second ▁cycle ▁of ▁the ▁medical ▁studies ▁in ▁France ; ▁are ▁am enable ▁to ▁the ▁European ▁state ▁or ▁Community , ▁Swiss ▁Confeder ation , ▁Princi p ality ▁Member ▁States ▁of ▁And or ra ▁left ▁to ▁the ▁agreement ▁on ▁European ▁Econom ic ▁Area , ▁others ▁that ▁France , ▁hold ers ▁of ▁a ▁di pl oma ▁of ▁end ▁of ▁second ▁cycle ▁of ▁the ▁medical ▁studies ▁or ▁of ▁an ▁equivalent ▁title ▁from ▁one ▁of ▁these ▁states . ▁ ▁Class ifying ▁national ▁tests ▁Test s ▁are ▁organized ▁for ▁the ▁candidates ▁quoted ▁above . ▁ ▁According ▁to ▁its ▁classification , ▁the ▁student ▁cho oses ▁his ▁university ▁hospital ▁( and ▁thus ▁the ▁city ) ▁of ▁assignment . ▁ ▁This ▁choice ▁is ▁carried ▁out ▁initially ▁by ▁Internet ▁( phase ▁of ▁pre - choice ▁and ▁simulations ), ▁the ▁final ▁choice ▁taking ▁place ▁during ▁a ▁“ am ph it he atre ▁of ▁g arrison ” ▁which ▁brings ▁together ▁all ▁the ▁students ▁by ▁sections ▁of ▁classification . ▁ ▁This ▁procedure ▁makes ▁it ▁possible ▁the ▁student
▁to ▁choose ▁his ▁station ▁by ▁being ▁informed ▁fully ▁of ▁the ▁places ▁available . ▁ ▁The ▁ 1 1 ▁existing ▁fields ▁in ▁ 2 0 0 8 ▁are , ▁with ▁the ▁number ▁of ▁places ▁available , ▁or ▁ 5 7 0 4 ▁[ ; aces ▁on ▁the ▁whole : ▁ ▁General ▁medicine : ▁ 3 2 0 0 ▁stations ▁Medical ▁special ties : ▁ 8 8 5 ▁stations ▁S urg ical ▁special ties : ▁ 5 5 0 ▁stations ▁Psych iat ry : ▁ 2 8 0 ▁stations ▁Ana est hes ia - re animation : ▁ 2 6 0 ▁stations ▁Ped iat ric : ▁ 2 0 0 ▁stations ▁Gy ne col ogy - ob st et rics : ▁ 1 5 5 ▁stations ▁Public ▁health : ▁ 6 0 ▁stations ▁Medical ▁bi ology : ▁ 4 0 ▁stations ▁Occ up ational ▁medicine : ▁ 5 4 ▁stations ▁Medical ▁g yna ec ology : ▁ 2 0 ▁stations ▁ ▁In ▁ 2 0 0 5 , ▁a ▁thousand ▁places ▁were ▁not ▁filled , ▁certain ▁students ▁prefer ring ▁to ▁re try ▁rather ▁than ▁to ▁choose ▁a ▁special ity ▁by ▁default . ▁ ▁Hospital ▁training ▁ ▁Although ▁they ▁have ▁the ▁stat ute ▁of ▁student ▁and ▁a ▁super vision , ▁an ▁intern ▁is ▁an ▁autonom ous ▁professional , ▁since ▁they ▁can ▁pres cribe ▁and ▁carry ▁out ▁rep lac ements ▁in ▁liberal ▁cabin ets ▁( prov ided ▁they ▁have ▁on ▁valid ated ▁a ▁certain ▁number ▁of ▁six - month ▁periods , ▁and ▁obtained ▁a ▁“ lic ence
