• 2017 was the year during which France has seen the amendment of the 3rd cycle of medical education. Three new steps have been uploaded: "basement", "in depth", and "liability". The latter has been particularly discussed as it is really close to the former post-graduate state. Nephrology has always been a very attractive discipline. While most others have been increased in terms of length in initial medical education, nephrology has been assigned to 4 years. Altogether, nephrologists whatever their generation have led a series of questionnaires we report here. From 3 of them, we had new data providing insights regarding both their feeling and knowledge about this amendment. Globally, they dissatisfy whatever the considered generation and they propose different modifications. The upcoming generation especially wants more options and tailored initial formation when older nephrologists are more prone to require one additional year for all. Whatever is chosen by state institutions, representative associations such as SNIN, CJN, and CUEN should act together as spokeperson to disseminate both nephrologists' wishes and information about what is coming.
