After suspension of Antwerp doctor: medical students request same internship procedures in all hospitals

The Flemish Association for Specialist Trainees (VASO) calls for a clear protocol to address issues during medical training after a young doctor was dismissed for serious errors. VASO highlights inconsistencies in training quality across hospitals and emphasizes the need for transparent procedures for both trainees and hospitals. Judith Brusselmans, VASO's president, notes that while most issues are resolved informally, severe cases require higher intervention. The association aims to improve training standards and ensure that the quality of education does not depend on the hospital location. A new employment contract for trainees is expected next year, focusing on enhancing training quality.
