Eighteen places in total distributed across the three Tuscan healthcare companies, with economic incentives, targeted professionalization and career paths for those who choose to work outside the large urban centres. Here is how, throughout the national territory and, specifically, in Tuscany, we will try to make up for the shortage of doctors, especially in the peripheral areas. Published in the gazette starting today, Wednesday 22 May, the notices are online on the Estar website, the Region’s technical support body, and you have until 20 June to submit an application to participate in the competition.
“The data – say the health department of the Tuscany Region – say that there is evidence between the low attractiveness of some structures and the characteristics of the territory. This initiative represents a response to a critical issue, a first experimental tool to reverse this trend focusing on the enhancement of the professional path and on integration with other hospital facilities. These first competitions will in fact be a useful tool for evaluating their effectiveness and will also allow us to work on increasingly defined models”.
