Overview
- The Xunta-ratified pact begins implementation with a commission constituted in Santiago to steer decentralization of years 4–6 by the 2028/2029 academic year.
- Two working groups will draft the regulation for new teaching units in the A Coruña and Vigo university hospitals and estimate staffing and material needs.
- A student representative has been authorized to join the commission, which includes the Education and Health conselleiros, the three rectors, SERGAS leadership and hospital delegates.
- Each new unit at CHUAC and CHUVI is set to host 25% of students in the final three years, with 50% of new academic hires assigned to UDC and UVigo.
- UDC and UVigo agreed not to seek standalone Medicine degrees through August 2029, as regional leaders caution that execution will be gradual and complex.
