Galician Medical Degree Talks Stall as Xunta Proposes Full Second-Cycle Decentralization

The Xunta’s blueprint would assign all second-cycle clinical teaching to shared units at A Coruña, Santiago de Compostela and Vigo, pausing negotiations until after the summer recess.

Overview

  • The third working group meeting ended without consensus, leaving core disputes over faculty structure unresolved and deferring talks until after the summer recess.
  • The Xunta has proposed distributing all fourth-to-sixth year instruction among Galicia’s three public universities in proportions above the 2015 pact’s 15 percent cap.
  • Under the plan, shared teaching units in A Coruña and Vigo would be staffed by faculty from UDC, USC and UVigo to pool clinical resources.
  • UDC has advanced its application to establish an independent Medicine degree for the 2027/28 academic year despite opposition from USC and the regional government.
  • Separately, the Xunta and USC agreed outside the working group to attach all Sergas hospitals and primary care centers to USC’s Medicine faculty, reinforcing the single-faculty model.
