Scholarships for specific training in general medicine

Scientific progress and technological innovation require that healthcare workers are regularly updated and trained to ensure the effectiveness, adequacy, safety and efficiency of the care provided by the National Health System (NHS). This need was also evident during the pandemic crisis. In this context, the investment aims to strengthen training in basic medicine.

Each year of the three-year period 2021-2023, a government decree has been published to allocate economic resources to the Regions and Autonomous Provinces to finance additional scholarships for specific three-year general medicine courses (a total of 2,700 additional scholarships). The three-year courses concerned are 2021/2024, 2022/2025 and 2023/2026.

The objective of the investment is to increase the number of scholarships in general medicine, ensuring the completion of three three-year learning cycles.

Provincialtarget: 7 additional scholarships per year

The Autonomous Province of Trento is the implementing party.

The implementation of the NRP in Trentino fits coherently into the programme framework for sustainable provincial development, according to the policies identified in the provincial Economic and Financial Document and its Update Note.
