[Trends in the choice of internal medicine (and clinical immunology) at the end of the national ranking examination since 2010].

🤖 Plain-English Summary

The 2017 reform of the third cycle of medical studies (R3C) was accompanied by modifications in the formats and number of specialty diplomas. Since 2017, the median and cut-off ranks of students choosing internal medicine specialty have increased, and balance of incoming and outgoing remorse rights was increasingly negative.

🔑 Key Findings

• The aim of this study was to investigate the evolution of the choice of the internal medicine and clinical immunology specialty before and after 2017.
• We used the median ranking and its evolution, as well as incoming and outgoing remorse rights, as markers of attractiveness.
• Data on the number of position offered, rankings and affectation were collected from decrees published in the French "Journal Officiel" each year.
