After celebrating our anniversary on August 17, come see the anatomy exhibition “Corps à Coeur,” which is free and open to the public, at the Historic Building from September 2 through October 31, 2020.
SEPTEMBER 2021 - RE-RUN OF THE "CORPS A COEUR" EXHIBITION
From September 22, 2021, through October 30, 2021, the “Corps à Cœur” exhibition reopens in the Tekné Makré galleries of the Historic Building!
You can find her Wednesday through Friday from 1:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. and on Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Starting November 2, the exhibition will be open to the public by reservation through the Montpellier Méditerranée Métropole Tourist Office: 04 67 60 60 60
An exhibition on the anatomical sciences
Through this exhibition, the Faculty and the University are showcasing the Faculty of Medicine’s anatomical collections. These collections illustrate the methods used to teach anatomy from the late mid-18th century to the mid-20th century, before the advent of “anatomy of the living” and modern techniques for studying the human body.
By selecting unique pieces from these collections, the exhibition allows visitors to compare these objects—which bear witness to historical methods of studying anatomy—with today’s medical imaging technologies.
The book covers three main topics: the diversity of educational materials, the anatomy of the human body, and, finally, diseases and treatments.
An exhibition not to be missed for anyone interested in anatomy, history, or cultural heritage!

Update as of September 29, 2020 – The UM Thursdays events scheduled for October 6 and 8 have unfortunately been canceled due to the current health situation. Following their launch at the Arnaud de Villeneuve Campus in January, UM Thursdays are returning toward the end of 2020 for a series of new lectures on health. Attend the “UM Thursdays” sessions at the Faculty of Pharmacy campus as well as at the Orangerie in the Jardin des Plantes.
A new series of lectures on health
UM Thursdays are back in 2020! Open to the public, these lectures offer an opportunity to learn more about new technologies and teaching methods in health care, as well as to expand your knowledge of medicinal plants and aromatherapy! These are just some of the topics that will be covered throughout the year by faculty members from our university.

Tuesday, October 6, 2020 – Medicinal Plants
As far back as we can go in time, thanks to ancient manuscripts, the future of humanity seems to have always been closely linked to plants. The reputation of the earliest physicians (beginning with Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, 450 years B.C.) was most often built on their extensive knowledge of plants and the treatments they derived from them. Logically, then, the plants used to formulate these new remedies (“medicines” = “pharmakon”) were termed “medicinal.” But what remains of this historical and ancestral definition? What does it still mean to people today, and what is the significance of “medicinal plants” in 2020?
Thursday, October 8, 2020 – The Use of Aromatic Plants: From Perfume to Medicine
One event, two lectures! Learn more about the Jardin des Plantes, as well as plants and fragrances!
● 3:00 p.m.: The Jardin des Plantes in Montpellier, the oldest botanical garden in France – by Thierry Lavabre-Bertrand
● 4:00 p.m.: The Use of Aromatic Plants: From Perfume to Medicine – by Sylvie Munier
Due to the current health situation, everyone is required to wear a mask.
Worth (Re)Discovering – Thursday, January 16, 2020 – Medical Education: Pathways to Innovation
“There’s never a ‘first time’ with a patient” for a healthcare professional. Even though there’s always a first time, it’s important to prepare future healthcare professionals through scenario-based training—whether for technical procedures, interpersonal skills, interprofessional communication, or preparing for emergency situations where every action must be perfectly coordinated.
Inspired by aerospace standards, healthcare simulation platforms are an essential tool for developing the technical and interpersonal skills of future healthcare professionals, complementing clinical rotations with patients. This first edition of “UM Thursdays,” held as part of the Faculty of Medicine’s 800th-anniversary celebrations, offers an opportunity to explore these remarkable tools while touring the Arnaud de Villeneuve Health Campus and to gain insight into the challenges posed by these educational techniques, which remain fully aligned with the Faculty of Medicine’s philosophy of placing the human being at the center of its concerns.
Below is the schedule of today’s lectures, which will begin at 3:00 p.m. in the Rondelet Amphitheater!
-
A Simulation-Based Learning Platform: Just a Gimmick? – by Blaise Debien
-
Research on Simulation-Based Teaching – by Valérie Courtin
-
Situational-Based Teaching: Assessment Using the C3 Framework – by Philippe Guilpain
Our series introducing local organizations is back! Today, we sat down with Léa Savater, President of ANIMN, the Association of New Residents in Montpellier-Nîmes!
Could you tell us a little about your organization? What is its mission?
The Montpellier-Nîmes Association of New Residents (ANIMN) was founded in 2009 and is dedicated to organizing the graduation ceremony for sixth-year medical students at
the Montpellier-Nîmes Faculty of Medicine.
Can you tell us more about this event?
This event, a central part of the faculty’s calendar, provides an opportunity to congratulate students who have just taken the ECNi (National Computerized Ranking Exam). Following this exam, students choose their
specialty and the city where they will practice. The graduation ceremony is usually held at the Jardin des Plantes in the presence of the faculty’s teaching staff, the Dean, the University President, the Mayor, and representatives of the Medical Board. On this occasion, each student is presented with their graduation sash and diploma in front of their family and friends. It is a deeply moving and joyful occasion. Afterward, the evening continues with a gala in the Cour d’honneur of the Faculty’s Historic Building for a final festive celebration between students and their families. This year, due to health restrictions, the ceremony will simply take place in the Cour d’honneur of the Historic Building on September 26.
Why did you join the organization as an individual member? What does your organization offer students?
This gathering gives our students a chance to come together one last time before each of them moves on to the city of their choice. This event is marked by a spirit of goodwill and allows us to celebrate the end of a chapter together. This year is all the more special as we will be celebrating the 800th graduating class of the Montpellier-Nîmes School of Medicine; it is an incredible opportunity to experience this moment in a building so steeped in history.
How can I contact ANIMN?
Following a decision by the Prefect of Hérault, Heritage Days will not take place in public buildings. The Faculty and the Jardin des Plantes are affected by this cancellation. More information in this article.
Cancellation of the European Heritage Days at the Faculty of Medicine and its Botanical Garden
Prefectural Order No. 2020.01.1066 prohibits state-run institutions from welcoming the public during the 2020 European Heritage Days due to the current public health situation.
We therefore regret to announce the cancellation of the guided tours scheduled for Saturday, September 19, and Sunday, September 20.
This cancellation applies to events scheduled to take place in the Faculty of Medicine’s Historic Building as well as at the Jardin des Plantes.
The temporary exhibitions “Art and Anatomy” and “Body to Heart” will be suspended on September 19
In consultation with the University’s administration, the Faculty’s leadership has decided to suspend the temporary exhibitions currently on display in the Historic Building this weekend as well: “Art and Anatomy” at the Atger Museum and the “Corps à Coeur” exhibition in the Tekné Makré galleries.
These exhibitions will resume their regular hours starting Monday, September 21.
