– Despite enormous shortages of medical specialists, there are very limited opportunities for students from the Caribbean part of the Kingdom to follow medical courses. This conclusion follows from several studies that were presented during a lecture by the Medici Association of the Antilles. The Erasmus magazine in the Netherlands writes about it.
The admission opportunities for students with a Turkish, Moroccan, Surinamese, or Caribbean-Dutch migration background in the Netherlands, according to sociologist and Ph.D. student Lianne Mulder, have decreased further since the import of the decentralized selection.

Then the students with a migration background who have succeeded in getting through the selection, get systematically worse assessments than their colleagues without a migration background, says Chantal van Andel, psychologist and project leader diversity and inclusion at Erasmus MC.

“Doctors with a non-Western migration background have significantly less chance of training places for specialization. Even promoted doctors have less chance of a training place than white colleagues who have not done any Ph.D. research.”

In addition, when determining the need for specialists, the Caribbean part of the Kingdom is not taken into account, not even the three islands that belong to the Netherlands as “special municipalities”.
