What’s new for aspiring doctors in 2023. This year there will be 14,787 places available for the Faculty of Medicine and the new Tolc exam will debut in April with the possibility of attempting the test also for fourth-year high school students. The minister of the University, Annamaria Bernini, has in fact signed the decree which indicates the provisional places for this year, a number which at the table with the Regions and Universities could undergo some changes but which gives an idea of the spaces available for future white coats.
This is an increase of almost fifty places compared to 2022 but it is still a limited step forward if we consider the shortage of medical personnel registered by hospitals and beyond. Agenas, the National Agency for Regional Health Services, calculates at least 29,000 outgoing doctors in the period 2022/2027 with an average age of 65.
The new test
For aspiring doctors the big news, however, is the anticipation of the selection times. From the maxi competition in September, we move on to the test with Tolc exam (Test OnLine Cisia) to be carried out on the PC. The novelty is that even fourth-year high school students will be able to attempt the test. From this year the candidates will have more chances to pass the selection. The first window scheduled for 2023 between April 13 and 22 while the second between 15 and 25 July. Fourth year students will therefore have four chances in all (two in fourth year and two in fifth year) while only two for fifth year students. Anyone who graduates in 2023 will therefore have only two chances to pass the selection.
Questions and rankings
The test consists of 50 questions to be answered in 90 minutes on different topics. Among the sections of the test: understanding of the text, knowledge acquired in studies, Biology, Chemistry and physics, Mathematics and reasoning. The result calculated starting from a score attributed according to the following criteria: 1 point for each correct answer, -0.25 points for each wrong answer and 0 points for each answer not given. For the 2023/2024 academic year, the best score obtained among those achieved in 2023 is entered in the ranking, while the best score obtained in 2024 or in the previous year is used for the 2024/2025 academic year. this year we will have to wait until 5 September to get the results and rankings.
