“…All medical schools in Europe should change the unidimensional admission process to a holistic approach. 13 The cost that medical students in Europe have due to increase for one year is not a big problem. A much smaller number of students will extend their medical studies beyond 6 years ( Table 1 ) as the majority of them shall pass all exams on time.…”

Improving medical education is an important process that changes from time to time based on the development of medical science and practice, society's need for a certain number of quality doctors, better preparations, and better selection of candidates for admission into medical schools. In most European countries, partial preparation of students for admission is done in secondary schools, and additional preparation is achieved in the first year of medical school. Such preparations enabled more than 60% of students to complete their studies, before the German Federal Ministry of Science and Education implemented the Masterplan Medizinstudium 2020. However, after a 4-year university preparation in the United States, close to 95% of students finish their medical studies on time. We proposed a 2-year university preparation for each student before his enrollment into the medical school because this strengthens his medical study, and later on, he becomes a better doctor. Thus, the number of graduated students may increase, medical studies could be shortened to 1 year, and candidates who do not enroll in medical school may continue their previous studies.
