The article highlights the geographical challenges faced by couples of medical interns in France due to a new procedure for assigning specialties and hospital placements. Previously, a single national ranking determined assignments, but since 2023, a reformed system involves multiple exams throughout the sixth year, resulting in 13 separate rankings for specialty groups. This fragmented process makes it significantly harder for couples, like the two Victoires mentioned, to be placed in the same city or even region, causing considerable distress and uncertainty as they navigate their final year of studies and anticipate their future careers.
