The Pre-School Year Workshop for PASS Students
The Pre-School Reopening Workshop is a good transition between high school and the Parcours d’Accès Spécifique Santé (PASS) program through a gradual into into university life by discovering and becoming familiar with the college environment.
It offers a real opportunity to gain a overview of the first semester so that prepare for the start of the school year with confidence. That is why sessions covering the curricula in Chemistry and Biochemistry, Genomics and Genetics, Cell Biology, Human and General Physiology, Humanities and Social Sciences, and Medications and Other Health Products, and introduce the core coursework for the first semester. This comprehensive overview of essential concepts is supplemented by practice exercises in the form of multiple-choice questions (MCQs) designed to help students understand the learning objectives of each course unit (UE) and become familiar with this assessment format, which is used for most exams throughout the year.
The sessions are taught by qualified tutors who are third-year students in medicine, midwifery, pharmacy, or dentistry—students who have also gone through their first year. They will be able to share their advice, particularly during the sessions on study skills and well-being.
Finally, PASS students will receive explanations about the Reform for Entry into Health Studies (REES).
The Back-to-School Workshop concludes with a joint exam covering the six subjects covered during the two-week camp. The goal is to practice under real-world conditions, particularly with regard to exam formats, time limits, testing rooms, and grading. The test results in no way reflect how the coming school year will go and provide an opportunity to adjust one’s study habits.
This workshop is therefore an opportunity to build self-confidence, as well as to find your approach and pace of work. It also allows you to have meetings to support one another throughout the year—even forming working groups—as well as to discuss their own experiences with mentors.
