Toulouse Medical Student's Hospital Placement Suspended After Assault Conviction

The Regional Health Agency of Occitanie halts the student's internship amid ongoing legal and disciplinary proceedings.

The student, previously convicted of sexual assault, was set to begin a radiology internship at the CHU of Toulouse.
The suspension follows protests from hospital staff and unions who opposed his placement due to his criminal record.
In March, the student received a five-year suspended sentence for assaults committed between 2017 and 2020.
Legal appeals are ongoing, with the student's lawyer planning to challenge the suspension in administrative court.
A protest by hospital staff is scheduled for November 4, the original start date of the student's internship.
