title: [Reflections apropos of the 3d cycle of general medicine in French universities].
abstract: Since more than thirty years following scientific advances and according to recommendations from (Brussels) European Community Commission, medical studies reform has continuously progressed. These reforms have been applied as well to the third cycle. The National Evaluation Community using comparative evaluation and notation for each medical university has tried to acknowledge the quality of these reforms. One cannot ignore the efforts made by medical schools, although results obtained in theoretical and practical learning for this third cycle of general practice are not altogether satisfying. Several reflections can be underlined: lack of definition of general practice is in part responsible for its marginalization along medical studies course; an obvious disinterest from university leaders in teaching medical practice, and an internship examination now essentially meant for specialization in is also to be blamed for social disqualification of general practice.
