History of the Medicine Test: because there is the closed number
The Faculty of Medicine it has not always been closed: Until the early 1900s, in fact, it was possible to access it only if it came from an elitist school training.
Until the year 1923 It was possible to enroll in Medicine only after attending the classical high school: of course, this guaranteed a certain basic cultural preparation, but it greatly skimmed the possibility of attending the faculty and affected, tending to attend students who came from a wealthy social context.
In that year the possibility of registration has extended to graduates of the scientific high school and in 1969 to All graduates. Since the 1970s, therefore, the Faculty of Medicine has become more accessible and inclusive, but the result was obviously a overcrowding that could not guarantee the quality of education.
In the 1987based on one European Union Directivethe admission testwith the aim of forming a number of doctors really commensurate with the real health needs of each country. However, it had to wait for the 1999 for a law that regulated the test throughout Italy, then confirmed by the Constitutional Court in 2013.
