The rector of the University of León, Juan Francisco García Marín, will publicly and directly convey to the president of the Junta de Castilla y León the need for the León campus to add the degree in Medicine. He will do so in his speech during the opening ceremony of the university academic year that will be held in the Aula Magna San Isidoro and will be attended by the main authorities as well as the rest of the rectors of the universities in the community.
It is the same scenario in which a year ago Marín announced publicly, and in front of the Minister of Education, that the ULE would begin the process to implement this degree in Vegazana. “President Mañueco already knows that we are going to continue insisting as we have done all year because it is essential,” the rector tells this medium.
Twelve months have passed since the sending of reports and documentation to the Board began justifying the request for a “fundamental” faculty. A year of little progress and constant refusal from the administration that the rector admits does not explain. “I do not understand the reluctance towards this faculty while a pharmacy school is being opened in a private university in the community,” criticizes García Marín, while exposing the “important problem at the national level” in the increase in places for this degree in other faculties. .
Demand for places
«You cannot continue increasing the number of incoming students. If a grade was designed for one hundred students, how can it now have 200? This cannot be,” explains the professor who assures that “sooner or later” we will have to opt for “other solutions because there will continue to be demand for doctors, that is why we ask for the faculty.”
The University of León presented two projects where the degree might be installed, which would also add the Hospital of León and the rest of the primary care facilities to carry out the practices. On the one hand, the San Antonio building, which presents significant problems as it is a protected building. On the other hand, and more viable, the project to build a new building on the Vegazana campus itself.
A new degree that, for the moment, does not seem to be in the Board’s plans and that for the rector would solve the problem of places that is being experienced throughout Spain due to the high demand of young people who want to take the degree and the need for these professionals.
