#AssociationOfTheWeek – Meeting with the Montpellier Health Tutoring Association

,

After meeting with Tutorat Santé Nîmois, this week we are meeting with the Association Tutorat Santé de Montpellier and its new president, Milla Esclafit-Cardoso! 

In a few words, what is the Montpellier Health Tutoring Association?

The Tutoring Program is made up of second- and third-year health studies students who have passed the PACES exam and who have been selected and trained for a year by the professors in charge of the year's program. Our goal is to provide free, high-quality educational and moral support to any student at the University of Montpellier and its branches who wishes to pursue health studies. To meet this demand, three associations are at your disposal: the Montpellier Health Tutoring Association, the Pharmacy Tutors Association, and the Nîmes Health Tutoring Association. 

These three associations pool their resources to provide equitable support to all students and share the same goal of equal opportunities in the selection process for admission to health studies. 

What activities or actions do you implement throughout the year? 

To start the year off on the right foot, we are offering a Pre-Term Course open to all PACES and PASS students this year. The course aims to cover the entire first semester curriculum, help students acquire effective study methods, and introduce them to the faculty so they can find their bearings. 

Every week, we review the key points of each course in all subjects in the form of multiple-choice quizzes reviewed by the professors. These sessions are split into several time slots so that students can arrange their schedules according to their availability. To answer questions, office hours are held every lunchtime at the university, and a forum is also available to students. 

In order to enable regular and representative assessment, we organize weekly graded tests involving around 900 students across the three sites, as well as mock exams, which this year involved more than 1,600 students in the first semester. 

To adapt to the lockdown situation and health measures, we conducted our sessions and tests online via Zoom, which we recorded so that PACES students with unstable internet connections could view them. We also developed our YouTube channel to diversify our remote content, focusing on course points that we found difficult to understand.

Beyond academic support, we help students through a demanding year by promoting activities focused on well-being: board games at lunchtime, relaxation tutorials, etc. Our biggest wellness event is Pep's Week, which takes place in early January, during a particularly difficult period for PACES students. To help first-year students connect with upperclassmen, we set up a student mentoring program at the beginning of the year. 

To further promote equal opportunities, the Tutoring Service works withHandiversité to offer a disability service for students who need special arrangements for classes or exams. 

Finally, in the context of reform, we are the preferred point of contact within the university, organizing career guidance forums, but also at the local level in various student fairs, and at the national level by participating in conferences bringing together tutors from across France.

What made you decide to join the association? 

Tutoring helped me pass my PACES exam by supporting me for two years: this support was extremely valuable to me because I couldn't afford to pay for the services of a private organization. The availability of the tutors, the quality of the sessions, and above all the support in all aspects of PACES life (revision, lifestyle, morale, etc.) really helped me get through this difficult period. It was obvious to me that I would apply to be a tutor after being admitted to my second year of medical school, so I was delighted to join the UE7 (Health, Humanities, Society) team. My year as a trainee tutor was so fulfilling that I wanted to continue the adventure by joining the Tutoring Office to help it revamp itself during the year of reform: we changed our name from Association du Tutorat Médecine de Montpellier (ATM²) to Association du Tutorat Santé de Montpellier (ATSM) to better reflect our desire to diversify the profiles of students entering all health programs! 

What does the association offer students?

Beyond simple educational support, our goal is to provide genuine assistance to all young adults who are discovering both university studies and life away from home, and who we ask to take on a very heavy workload. Our core value is equal opportunity, so that selection for this first year is based on work capacity rather than financial situation. This ties in more broadly with our duty of camaraderie, which is dear to us in the health professions, and our training, which is largely based on peer training. We are, above all, students who have gone through this process ourselves and who are trying to help PACES students as we needed help when we were in their shoes!

Why do you think people should join your association? 

In the first year, students can register for free tutoring throughout the year: attendance is not compulsory, but according to faculty surveys, attending 80% of tutoring sessions is the best way to pass the exam! 

If you want to join ATSM as a tutor, you will have the opportunity to be selected based on your application and interview after your second semester results. You will then have the status of Trainee Tutor during your second year, and can continue as a Qualified Tutor when you move into your third year. 

A few words about the 2020-2021 board?

The General Assembly for the handover to our new board took place on June 9: we are all very enthusiastic about renewing our offer to support students repeating PACES, PASS, and LAS. We know that this year can be intimidating for new high school graduates, and we are ready to support them through this change. 

We are in the process of changing our name, so for the time being, our old name appears on social media:

#AssociationOfTheWeek – Meeting with Tutorat Santé Nîmes

,

Earlier this week , we met with CNESF, the association representing the midwifery profession in Nîmes. We are staying in Nîmes today for our meeting with Matthias Daudé, the new president of TSN!

In a nutshell, what is Tutorat Santé Nîmois?

TSN (Tutorat Santé Nîmes) is an association made up of second- and third-year medical and midwifery students at the Nîmes campus. We have all successfully passed the entrance exam for health studies, and it is on the strength of this experience that we offer support to students entering their first year of health studies (PASS/LAS). 

What activities or actions do you implement throughout the year? 

Throughout the year, students are offered weekly training sessions in the form of multiple-choice questions, during which tutors provide detailed corrections, share mnemonic techniques, offer study advice, and provide support in preparing for exams. All sessions are reviewed by the relevant professors to ensure that they are always closely aligned with the expectations of the final exams.

 In addition, we organize a pre-term course during the last two weeks of August. During these two weeks, we cover the first semester's curriculum while providing as much advice as possible on the methodology to follow in this challenging academic year. 

 We also offer mock exams and practice tests to help students prepare as well as possible through training in real exam conditions, with questions that have been reviewed by teachers.

What made you decide to join the association? 

When I started studying health sciences, I didn't know anything about tutoring. At university, I soon heard about the association and the support it offers. I went to a session and immediately saw all the benefits this organization could bring me. 

After passing the PACES exam and starting my health studies, I wanted to join the tutoring program to share my personal experience from my first year. I wanted to help as many students as possible to progress and achieve their dreams. It was natural for me to do everything I could to give back what I had received during my first year, because without tutoring, I would never have passed this exam.

What does the association offer students?

The TSN provides PACES students with real educational support through training sessions and Q&A sessions, as well as moral support by organizing activities for students. We also offer a mentoring program where second- and third-year students take first-year students under their wing to guide them toward success.

Why do you think people should join your association? 

Our association offers a wide range of educational and personal support services to help everyone progress toward their goal of passing the entrance exams for the second year of health studies.

How do you join? 

Tutoring is completely free! To join the tutoring program, simply follow the registration instructions, which will be detailed on our personal networks and on the faculty's registration page.

A few words about the 2020-2021 board?

For the TSN association, the election of the board takes place in two phases. 

It all starts with the formation of the Executive Committee (EC). Once the candidates for the BR have been selected, a campaign period begins during which the various teams present their projects for the year. This year, due to the health crisis, all elections and campaigns were conducted online. Once the campaigns are over, all second- and third-year tutors elect a BR, which then organizes elections for the other positions on the Bureau. 

Once all positions have been presented by the BR, each tutor wishing to join the board prepares an application for the position. Applications are accepted over a period of one week. After this campaign period, the BR organizes a vote for positions with multiple candidates. 

You can now find us on social media!

Finally, we leave you with a video prepared with the three health tutoring organizations in Montpellier: the Montpellier Health Tutoring Association (ATSM), the Association of Pharmacy Tutors (ATP), and ourselves, the Nîmes Health Tutoring Organization (TSN)!

#AssociationOfTheWeek – Meeting with the CNESF

,

After our meeting with Dis-Lalie, the Montpellier association for speech therapy, this week we are meeting with CNESF, the association for midwifery in Nîmes!

In a nutshell, what is the CNESF?

The Nîmes Midwifery Students' Association is a non-profit organization under the French law of 1901, whose purpose is to represent midwifery students in Nîmes and to give them a voice within federations such as the ANESF (National Association of Midwifery Students, our sector federation) and the AGEM (Association Générale des Étudiants Montpelliérains, our regional federation). It also aims to listen to midwifery students in Nîmes, advise them where possible, and defend their rights and interests. Our association helps to energize the student life of its members by organizing solidarity and prevention events, as well as festive, sporting, and cultural events. Finally, it aims to improve our skills as future healthcare professionals by providing access to additional training.

What activities or actions do you implement throughout the year?

We try to expand our activities as much as possible through the association's various divisions. the association:

The public health center organized, for example, film screenings and café debates to discuss topics such as female genital mutilation and anonymous adoption, particularly after the screening of films in partnership with the Sémaphore de Nîmes.

As part of the annual awareness campaign for breast cancer screening, we created a calendar for Pink October. It shares prevention and information messages, and the money raised was donated to the League Against Cancer. We were also present at the Telethon alongside medical students.

Thanks to the development of communication on social media, we have created posters for world days, such as the one in collaboration with ANESF for World Contraception Day, and quizzes on various topics are also available. We have set up a mentoring program between different classes, which will be further developed next year. 

Festive and team-building events were organized, including the end-of-year gala, which unfortunately could not take place. As last year, we continued to develop our babysitting network. At the AGEM and ANESF level, we are present in person or remotely at every board meeting and general assembly in order to represent the midwifery students of Nîmes in decision-making.

Snack parties are organized every month to donate the proceeds to charities, to which we also donate clothing and equipment for children.

Finally, we participated in the PEPS week organized by Tutorat Santé Nîmes this year, at the student fair, as well as at the Faculty's open house to try to best answer questions from prospective students.

Why did you personally choose the midwifery program, and what does the association offer students in this program?


In my opinion, it's a field you choose out of passion. The studies are long and require a significant investment, particularly in the numerous internships. But Supporting couples, mothers, women, and even babies is what makes the difference. The diversity of our profession is what attracted me to it. We have a wide range of skills, whether in the private, public, or non-profit sectors, and we can support women throughout their pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum period (if there are no complications). We can also provide preventive gynecological consultations and contraception. We sometimes experience difficult situations, but intense moments of life and emotion are there to remind us why we started this profession in the first place.

The association, meanwhile, provides opportunities to get together, whether at the local office or at events, and to learn through training courses offered by ANESF or AGEM. Members can also keep up to date with national news, which we relay regularly. For those who want to get involved in student life, it's a great way to flourish in the realization of their projects, while collaborating with other students.

Why do you think people should join your association? 

Joining our association is above all a gesture of support. We represent midwifery students in the faculty's student life. Joining allows you to keep up to date with various events and to connect with other associations within the faculty or outside it. In fact, membership includes membership in both AGEM and ANESF, which allows you to stay informed about the debates within these associations and potentially have an impact by giving your opinion on issues. It is therefore an opportunity to feel involved in the future of the profession and student life in the region, but also to raise issues more generally.

Membership is also the only way to vote at general meetings for future teams that will represent you in the next terms of office. And on the more fun side, membership gives you access to a wide range of partnerships that our fabulous VP Part has secured. From laser tag to products from Luneale, Fempo, and many others, you can enjoy great discounts. Finally, we have partnerships with professional insurance companies that offer additional protection to students on internships.

How do you join? 

Joining is very easy: just visit our association's offices on the university campus between noon and 2 p.m. (every day) and pay €7 by check, cash, or even Lydia. We will give you a nice little card with our social media details. You can join at any time throughout the year, but we close membership two weeks before the General Assembly at the end of the term.

A few words about the 2020-2021 board?

Unfortunately, given the current health situation, this year's handover will take place remotely. remotely. We are in contact with the members of the board who are running for the 2020-2021 term and who are more motivated than ever. There are some exciting projects in the pipeline that we can't wait to find out more about. It is with a slight twinge of sadness that we leave this term of office, especially with a difficult end to the year, but we have complete confidence in the commitment of the incoming board. These are motivated young women with experience and a lot of enthusiasm, everything they need to succeed. We could not have left this term of office more peacefully than with such a promising new generation taking over!

#AssociationOfTheWeek – Meeting with Dis-Lalie

,

As we have seen, the Ademmoos association brings together elected representatives from every field! This week, we are focusing on speech therapists in Montpellier with the Dis-Lalie association! 

In a few words, what is the Dis-lalie association?

Dis-Lalie, founded in 1998, is the association for speech therapy students in Montpellier. The association's objectives are to promote student life through a variety of events and to represent Montpellier speech therapy students in the federations to which Dis-Lalie belongs, namely the FNEO (national federation of speech therapy students) and AGEM (general association of Montpellier students), to help students prepare for their professional integration through conferences, training courses, meetings with partners and health professionals, and to support students in defending their rights and ensuring the smooth running of their training with university and regional authorities.

What activities or actions do you implement throughout the year? 

Throughout the year, Dis-Lalie organizes events for student members:

  • Team-building events : team-building weekends and afternoons, parties, meals, ski weekends, end-of-year ceremony, participation in the graduation ceremony for new graduates, etc.
  • Training courses on speech therapy : conferences (on Alzheimer's disease, lip reading, stuttering, etc.), training courses and workshops related to the profession (drawing, accounting, etc.)
  • Events dedicated to well-being : sophrology and yoga workshops.
  • Cultural events : city tour, visit to the anatomy conservatory, hikes around Montpellier, beer/chocolate tasting, etc.
  • Prevention, citizenship, and solidarity events: bake sales for Telethon Week, Pink October, and Sidaction, with proceeds donated to charities; toy drives for children in the hospital at Christmas; plastic cap drives to be reused to make equipment for people with disabilities; participation in the Teddy Bear Hospital...

Dis-Lalie also supports students throughout their studies. Whether by offering discounts on speech therapy equipment through our partnerships with publishers or by informing students about the social and mobility assistance available to them. We then assist students who wish to spend a semester abroad with the administrative procedures. Dis-Lalie also helps students who wish to enroll in university speech therapy programs by publishing testimonials from speech therapy students on social media and hosting candidates during the oral exam, among other things.

Why did you personally choose to study speech therapy, and what does the association offer students in this field?

Personally, I chose speech therapy because it is a healthcare profession and, above all, a rehabilitation, which allows you to see real progress in patients, particularly thanks to speech therapy.  It is a very varied field. Patients are of all ages, and the pathologies and rehabilitation methods are very diverse. For example, speech-language pathologists can work with newborns with oral disorders, children with learning disabilities (dyslexia, dysorthography, dyscalculia, etc.), as well as patients with neurological diseases, deafness, post-stroke or even post-COVID! It is therefore a profession in which each case is different, offering the choice of working in a healthcare facility or in private practice, and providing the opportunity to train throughout our career on a wide variety of pathologies.

Why do you think people should join your association? 

Our association allows speech therapy students in Montpellier to get together at various events, which promotes cohesion and sharing among students at our training center. Membership in Dis-Lalie offers many benefits to students:

  • Discounts or free admission to events organized by the association
  • Access to conferences and training courses on speech therapy, organized by our VP of Training
  • Preferential rates with companies we partner with: insurance companies, publishing houses, etc.
  • Reduced/free travel to events organized by the FNEO (training weekends and national conferences)
  • Opportunity to participate in all team-building, cultural, and wellness events organized by the association
  • Right to vote at general meetings

How do you join? 

Membership is renewed each year in September. The membership fee is set at €11 for the 2019-2020 year.

A few words about the 2020-2021 board?

The election of the 2020-2021 board will take place at the end of October during the general meeting. The election of the new Dis-Lalie board will be conducted position by position. Each candidate will have the opportunity to present their motivation to the assembly. Each year, the board is composed of two co-presidents, a secretary, a treasurer, a vice-president in charge of communication, a vice-president in charge of training, a vice-president in charge of international mobility, a vice-president in charge of social issues, a vice-president in charge of culture, a vice-president in charge of partnerships, a vice-president in charge of student representation, vice-presidents in charge of events, vice-presidents in charge of parties, vice-presidents in charge of prevention, citizenship, and solidarity, and an admissions officer.

Here are our contact details. Feel free to connect with us on social media:

#AssociationOfTheWeek – Meeting with ADEMMOOS

,

Last week, we met with the Association Carabins Montpelliéraine to learn more about student life for medical students. Today, Salomé Duteurtre, the student Vice-Dean, answers our questions!

In a nutshell, what is ADEMMOOS?

ADEMMOOS is the Association of Student Representatives of Montpellier-Nîmes in Medicine, Speech Therapy, Orthoptics, and Midwifery. It brings together nearly 40 elected student representatives from different fields of study. 

We work every day:

  • in Interprofessionality : all of the faculty's departments are represented;
  • in Intersite, through a collaboration between Montpellier and Nîmes residents;
  • for Represent all UFR students to the administration, the faculty, and the university hospital.

What activities or actions do you implement throughout the year? 

Above all, our year is punctuated by our student representation activities.

We are therefore represented on two major committees within the faculty:

  • The educational council facilitates consultation between the various stakeholders in the faculty (teachers, administrators, and students) regarding the courses offered by the UFR. In particular, it addresses the methods of knowledge assessment and the re-evaluation of teaching tools. 
  • The management board is the faculty's decision-making body, which votes on and revises internal regulations, the budget, agreements entered into by the faculty, and training projects.

 

Our goal is therefore to give students a voice, often through surveys, which allow us to carefully gather students' opinions and positions on various topics that arise during the academic year. 

On the other hand, we are also carrying out multiple projects to improve our training conditions. For example, several of our actions concern health promotion:

  • Improving student well-being in all its forms is one of our priorities. In the context of our challenging and demanding courses, some students may find themselves in difficulty: we try to support them and redirect them to resources that can help them.
  • We are promoting flu vaccinations to encourage students, who are future healthcare professionals, to get vaccinated. In particular, we organized a vaccination day on campus. 

We also support initiatives aimed at promoting student life on campus. We attend Open Days and European Heritage Days to lead tours and engage with the public. But we also help to design living and working spaces.

We keep students informed about faculty news. For example, during the COVID crisis, we regularly updated them on the situation and changes to our courses.

We support medical interns in choosing their specialties through the Future Intern Forum (FFI), which we organize in conjunction with the Languedoc Roussillon Interns Union.

Finally, we work with all of the faculty's student associations:

  • We support student-led support and educational projects: PACES tutoring, tutoring for upper-year medical and midwifery students, iECN preparation conferences, etc.
  • We participate in student representation at the local level (AGEM) and at the national level in our respective departmental associations.

What does the association offer students?

Our association promotes several things:

  • the support and representation of all students enrolled in the Montpellier-Nîmes Faculty of Medicine at the University of Montpellier;
  • promoting improving student living conditions (in terms of the quality of studies and educational offerings) within the UFR by establishing ongoing dialogue between students, their elected representatives, and associations from all disciplines belonging to the UFR;
  • the gathering of students from different departments of the UFR, in particular through the development of joint student initiatives, in order to overcome the divisions inherent in different courses of study and to encourage emulation by bringing together different skills.

Furthermore, no financial contribution is required from students. Simply by being enrolled at the university, students can benefit from all the activities offered by our association.

A few words about the 2020-2021 board?

Our association's board is made up of students, whether elected by their faculty or not, who are appointed for a one-year term from October to October to coordinate the team of student representatives.

Renewals for 2020-2021 will begin in the summer: please feel free to contact the current office if you are interested in any of the positions!

Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have about student representation!

Innovative educational projects supported at the Faculty

,

The MUSE project ("Montpellier University of Excellence") brings together 19 institutions committed to educational advancement and innovation. Today, several projects led by members of the Faculty have been selected and will be funded by the foundation. 

Towards new training courses: TakeOff #3

A call for projects has been launched by the MUSE Foundation to strengthen educational innovation, particularly in the transformation and creation of new training courses. The objective is simple: to align as closely as possible with current labor market demand and societal needs, and even to anticipate future needs in line with societal changes. 

Of the 30 projects selected, three are from the Faculty of Medicine and will therefore be allocated a budget to enable them to be carried out. 

  • The project " Development of teaching tools to support the training of nurses in advanced practices in onco-hematology " led by Nadine Houede.
  • The " Rabelais Health-Sciences Dual Degree Program " project led by Stephan Matecki
  • The " Montpellier Summer School of Surgical Initiation " led by Astrid Herrero.

Supported for three academic years, these projects will enable us to train our students even more effectively!

And tailored teaching tools: TakeOff #4

In addition to these new training courses, the Muse Foundation also supports innovative educational equipment projects. To ensure continuity in education, the working environment must also be adapted. 

As a result, three other projects from the Faculty, this time concerning new innovative equipment, were selected:

  • A " educational app for monitoring learning and performing technical procedures in medicine " led by Antoine Debourdeau and Valentin Favier.
  • A " Sound and visual immersion in a healthcare simulation training session " led by Blaise Debien.
  • A project on " The Benefits of Acquiring a Digital Surgical Simulator for the Implementation of the 2021-2023 Medical Education Reform. Learning and Certification of a Diploma in Surgery Outside the Operating Room " led by Astrid Herrero and François Régis Souche.

Many educational innovations are therefore expected to emerge over the coming years at the Faculty of Medicine, both in terms of training and teaching tools!

A commitment to innovation already in place: TakeOff#1 and TakeOff#2

Two other calls for projects launched by I-Site Muse had already taken place previously. These were TakeOff#1 and TakeOff2.

Once again, the Faculty responded quickly and some of its proposals were selected. First, during the initial call for proposals, TakeOff#1: 

  • The creation of " International DIU: Emerging Infections ", proposed by Éric Delaporte. 
  •  The creation of a "Digital Laboratory for Preclinical Sciences", led by Fares Gouzi. 
  • A proposal "Anatomy and Surgery Learning through Simulation and 3D Printing", presented by Valentin Favier.
  • A "Extended Reality Surgical Pedagogy", supported by Nicolas Lonjona.
  • A project of "Craftsmanship at the service of innovation in medical simulation", led by Astrid Herrero. 

Then, in a second phase, during the TakeOff#2 call for projects: 

  • The "International Master's in One Health and Infectious Diseases", which follows on from the International DIU created thanks to TakeOff#1. 
  • The creation of an "Interdisciplinary educational escape game in a simulation center: Mystery at SimHU Nîmes", which helps develop cohesion, communication, and collaboration among future healthcare professionals. 
  • The creation of a "VESALE 3D dynamic virtual dissection for teaching surgical anatomy", which is part of a commitment to never perform a procedure on a patient for the first time.

#AssociationOfTheWeek – Meeting with the Montpellier Rifle Association

,

In addition to the Med'Ley Association, this week we also feature the Association Carabine Montpelliéraine (ACM) and its president, Colin Azria.

In a nutshell, what is the Montpellier Rifle Association?

The Association Carabine Montpelliéraine (or Corpo Médecine de Montpellier) is a non-profit, non-partisan, and non-denominational association governed by the French law of 1901, which aims to represent medical students in Montpellier. It is the only association that officially and exclusively represents medical students in Montpellier from the first year (PACES) to the sixth year.

Enjoying close ties with the PACES Tutoring Program and the teaching staff at the Faculty of Medicine, the ACM supports students throughout their studies by offering various resources (books, handouts, stethoscopes, and other equipment) and giving them the opportunity to participate in different events (charity initiatives, cultural events, student parties, galas, etc.)..

In addition, the ACM is part of the local (Z'élus associatifs) and national (ANEMF – Association Nationale des Étudiants en Médecine de France) student representation network, which voices students' concerns to administrative and government bodies.

What activities or actions do you implement throughout the year?

The actions we take are very varied and combine all the opportunities that may arise during our studies. First, we are setting up a direct sales service for course handouts to facilitate student learning. 

We participate in national and international exchanges that we organize through the ANEMF network in the form of multiple exchange programs. 

For several years now, we have also forged strong relationships with retailers throughout Montpellier who offer us great deals. We are also in the process of expanding our scope of action to participate more actively in solidarity and sustainable development in our beautiful city of Montpellier. From simple student parties to global health solidarity events such as the Telethon, Movember, Pink October, and Sidaction, the Medicine Gala, and a daily cultural center offering organic baskets, film screenings, and great deals for students in Montpellier, the ACM aims to support medical students throughout their studies.

Why did you personally choose to study medicine, and what does the association offer students in this field?

Personally, I have always been attracted to medical concepts, so it was only natural that I chose this field. It is when you choose medicine that you realize how much work there is still to be done. But it's by volunteering your time to an association that you really realize the immensity of the work that can and must be done. Having briefly described our activities above, I believe that the Medical Corps is an institution that, for several generations now, has been part of the daily life of the Carabins and has helped to keep our traditions alive. 

Why do you think people should join your association? 

By joining our association, you can discover all our great deals in Montpellier, participate in all our events, access the services we offer (sales of handouts, materials, books, etc.) and much more!

How do you join? 

Joining is easy: just come to the association's office at the Arnaud de Villeneuve campus located at 641 Avenue du Doyen Gaston Giraud, 34090 Montpellier. Membership costs €10 and must be renewed each academic year. 

A few words about the 2020-2021 board?

The election of the Corpo Médecine board takes place at the end of each academic year by second-year students. They choose people from among their classmates to form the Corpo board for the following year. You can find out who the new board members are on our website.

We are also present on social media, you can find us:

#AssociationOfTheWeek – Meeting with Med’ley

,

Last week, we met with the Carabins Crocodiles Corporation to learn more about community life in Nîmes. Today, Gaël Gomez, president of the Montpellier music association, is here to answer our questions!

In a nutshell, what is Med'Ley?

Med'ley Montpellier Association is the music association based at the Faculty of Medicine. Since last year, it has been open to all students in the health sector (medicine, midwifery, pharmacy, dentistry, physiotherapy, etc.). Above all, our goal is to introduce music into these long and difficult studies. It also allows all these future healthcare professionals to meet each other during our various events. It is not just an association for musicians, but also an opportunity for students to meet and share in a musical atmosphere.

What activities or actions do you implement throughout the year?

PreviousNext
123

The Med'ley association organizes a wide variety of events. First of all, we are fortunate to be able to bring happiness to hospitalized children by performing in the pediatric wards of the Arnaud de Villeneuve and Gui de Chauliac university hospitals. 

In addition to our humanitarian work, we organize concerts in well-known bars in Montpellier, as well as Blind Test and karaoke evenings, always with the aim of bringing people together around the theme of music. 

In addition, for the past two years, our singing competition, the Med'ley Music Awards, has brought together singers from all disciplines at the University of Montpellier and other cities such as Toulouse and Nîmes. This competition, held in the anatomy amphitheater, brings together more than 200 people every year, with a new feature this year: direct qualification for the final of the Coupe de France d'Interprétation (French Interpretation Cup) for our grand prize winner. The winner also gets to enjoy a studio recording session with our partner. 

In addition, at the end of the academic year, we organize a large outdoor concert in the Jardin des Plantes with food and drinks for sale, which, given the current crisis, could not take place.

Med’ley also allows musicians to perform at many other events, such as the Medicine Gala, ACM Open Stages, Heritage Days, etc.

Finally, throughout the year, in our music room, we organize tutorials to enable members to learn an instrument, as well as jam sessions to facilitate encounters between musicians. 

What does the association offer students?

The association allows health students to meet up through music, regardless of their field of study, and take their minds off things. It allows people to interact and get together in a much more fun setting, which is music. 

In addition, through our work in pediatrics, these future healthcare professionals can see the hospital in a different light, from a more entertaining perspective. 

Why do you think people should join your association? 

First of all, our members have free access to our music room in the historic building, where they can practice, rehearse, or use the instruments we have made available to them. 

They also have the opportunity to play at the CHU and perform at all the different events we are involved in. But they can also simply come and take advantage of our many preferential rates and have a good time enjoying music. 

Members who want to learn music or take it up again can participate in our Med'ley tutorials. 

Finally, they will be able to take advantage of discounts and offers from our various partners. 

How do you join? 

Membership costs €5 for second-year students (DFGSM2, DFGSA2, etc.), €3 for PACES and third-year students, and is free for students in higher years. You can join at any time during the year. 

You can join during our office hours in the various faculties, before or during our events, or by contacting us via our networks.

A few words about the 2020-2021 board?

The 2020-2021 board has already been appointed and will take up its duties after the General Meeting to be held in early June. This motivated, promising board, brimming with new ideas, is sure to satisfy our future members, especially as it brings together four different healthcare sectors...

#800years – A stamp bearing the image of the Faculty!

,

In this anniversary year, the Post Office is issuing a stamp dedicated to the 800th anniversary of our Faculty on June 13! More information in the article below.

Did you know? The post office is issuing a stamp to celebrate our 800th anniversary!

Starting June 13, the Post Office will issue a special stamp to celebrate our anniversary.

The stamp brings together our famous and symbolic Historic Building and our new Arnaud de Villeneuve Campus on the same surface, even though the two buildings are separated by 650 years! It thus illustrates the perfect paradox that characterizes our Faculty and its history: it is both the oldest in the world and undoubtedly one of the most modern in France.

As if by chance, Barthez and Lapeyronie were chosen to appear on this stamp, perfectly mirroring their statues, which still stand guard at the gates of our institution.

Four visible elements highlight the entire Faculty and its 800 years of history!

Where and when can I get it?

With a face value of €1.16, the stamp will be available for preview on Saturday, June 13 in Montpellier and Paris: 

  • Montpellier : Post Office, Montpellier Prefecture, Place des Martyrs de la Résistance, 34000 Montpellier (subject to change).
  • Paris : Le Carré d’Encre, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 2:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Le Carré d’Encre, 13bis rue des Mathurins, 75009 Paris (entrance at 42 rue Godot de Mauroy, closed on Mondays).

In addition, due to the exceptional circumstances, the deadline for first day cancellations has been extended for issues dated March 1, 2020, from 8 weeks to 6 months.

Finally, from June 15, the stamp will be available:

  • In some post offices, 
  • at the “Le Carré d’Encre” store
  • by subscription or by mail to Phil@poste Customer Service Z.I Avenue Benoît Frachon, BP 10106 Boulazac, 24051 PÉRIGUEUX CEDEX 09

Shall we talk about it with those around us?
