Established based on the median ranking of future interns' choices, this ranking is closely watched by the hospital community. It not only measures reputation but also reflects the reality experienced by those preparing to work there: quality of training, working conditions, team dynamics, career prospects. Fifth last year, Montpellier has climbed four spots and now sits at the top. A significant leap that allows it to surpass the Hospices Civils de Lyon and put an end to several years of near-continuous dominance.

A Hospital Hierarchy Undergoing Exciting Changes

Behind Montpellier, Marseille is experiencing a spectacular rise, moving up from 9th to 3rd place. Toulouse has jumped seven spots and has made its way into the top 10. Strasbourg, Caen, Nancy, and Poitiers are also making progress. On the flip side, Limoges, Angers, and Nice are sliding down the rankings. This overall movement tells us one thing: the competition among university hospitals is heating up. And the reason why CHU Montpellier is so appealing isn't just because of its lovely climate or quality of life—it's also thanks to a strong training policy, a well-regarded academic environment, active research, and a hospital that has modernized while keeping its identity intact!
