Morocco continues its healthcare system overhaul by tightening regulations on medical education. A new decree published in the Official Bulletin redefines the status of students at public medical, pharmacy, and dental faculties, according to official sources.
The decree specifies rights, duties, and obligations, including on-call duties (gardes) and training requirements. It aims to standardize rules across faculties and improve the quality of future healthcare professionals.
Key provisions include detailed frameworks for student rotations, evaluation criteria, and disciplinary measures. The reform follows earlier steps to address healthcare workforce shortages and training quality.
Authorities say the decree will help align Moroccan medical training with international standards while ensuring better patient care. Student representatives have been consulted during the drafting process.
