Abstract:
France’s sophisticated system of medical education achieves a seamless link between undergraduate education and postgraduate training and has eliminated the uneven distribution of physicians among disciplines and regions. The Épreuves Classantes Nationales (national ranking examination), introduced in 2004, improved the uneven distribution of physicians among disciplines and regions. Although the medical board examination is not used in France, the unique medical education system, which develops both general practitioners and specialists, provides useful information for improving medical education in Japan.
