- Abstract
Since the publication of the ordinance of January 13th 2010, ratified by the law of May 30th 2013, medical biology in France has undergone a massive restructuration with the emergence of groups of several hundred laboratories. This evolution, which leads to a considerable reduction in the number of structures, causes numerous problems related to increased industrialization and financialization, difficulties of accreditation and disappearance of the proximity link between the biologist and the prescriber or the patient. It also leads to a clear disaffection of students, especially medical students, for this specialty whose medical character has been clearly affirmed by the law. This report takes stock of the current situation of medical biology and makes recommendations to strengthen the role of the medical biologist in the health system and patients' care.
