[National-ranking exams (NRE) in 2004. Students, faculties and university hospitals are awaiting the results].
The results of the 2004 National-Ranking Exams supply interesting but preliminary information. Its intended goal is to rank the students, but it also provides qualitative and quantitative data about students, the success rates of various university teaching and research units (UFR - unité de formation et de recherche), the ranking for each of the 11 possible specialties, student mobility, and the relative desirability of the University Hospital Centres. In these first ranking exams, the medical and surgical specialties appear to be selected by students with the highest ranks, while less good scores lead to public health, occupational medicine. On an individual level, nonetheless, all combinations are seen.
