The degree course in Medicine and Surgery could soon have a building dedicated to the exclusive use of tomorrow’s doctors, a few steps from the Morgagni-Pierantoni. The idea came from the mayor Gian Luca Zattini who met the coordinator of the degree course Franco Stella yesterday to discuss the project. “Medicine in Forlì enjoys a high level of approval among new graduates so much so that, more and more often, it is indicated as the first option in entrance tests – explained Zattini –. With Professor Stella, in light of the quality of the course and the prospects of growth in the number of students, we shared the need to work together and under the direction of the magnificent rector of Unibo, to provide our faculty with an operational and institutional headquarters outside the campus”. Zattini speaks of “an independent and exclusive place for teaching to be built within the hospital grounds”.
To date, the first years’ lessons are held in the classrooms on campus, while the students closest to graduation study in some classrooms inside the hospital, where they also do their internships. “With the increase in enrollments and the widespread appreciation of the course – continues Zattini – it is no longer conceivable that the lessons will be dispersed throughout the spaces of the campus. It is for this reason that we are already talking with professor Stella and the Cassa dei Risparmi Foundation of Forlì to lay the foundations of a shared planning which has as its objective the construction of a building dedicated exclusively to the area of the Faculty of Medicine, so as to also lighten the burden of attendance on the campus and contextualise the training of future healthcare professionals in a place that it is close to our hospital and that it can represent a point of reference for the entire scientific community”. Doctor Stella agrees with Zattini that “he proved to be decisive in the process of establishing Medicine, he favored its establishment and development, seizing the great opportunity for the territory and the repercussions on our healthcare system. Today the faculty has more than 450 students in great harmony with the Morgagni-Pierantoni hospital and with important growth prospects, I agree with the mayor’s plan to provide the degree course with its own place of identity, with a location within the hospital grounds. that welcomes students”.
