Candidates who have passed the national competition for practitioners in public health establishments, with the exception of the practitioners mentioned in article R. 6152-60, are appointed for a probationary period of one year’s actual service, regardless of the number of hours they work. At the end of this period, they are, after receiving the reasoned opinion of the head of the unit, the head of the department, the chairman of the establishment’s medical commission and the director of the establishment, as well as, where applicable, the national statutory commission, either appointed to a permanent practitioner post, or admitted to extend their probationary period for a further period of one year, or dismissed for unsuitability to perform the duties in question, by order of the director general of the Centre national de gestion.
Practitioners on probation are entitled to an interview after six months and after twelve months of actual performance of their duties. These interviews are carried out under the conditions defined by order of the Minister for Health. The minutes of these interviews, together with the opinions mentioned in the previous paragraph, are sent to the Director of the National Management Centre within a maximum of one month after the end of the probationary period.
The matter is referred to the national status committee if one of the opinions of the head of the unit, the head of department, the chairman of the establishment’s medical committee or the director of the establishment is unfavourable to tenure or differs from the others.
If the probationary year is extended, all or part of it may be spent in another public health establishment. The evaluation of this period is forwarded, if necessary, to the national statutory commission.
