Illustration and Training

This is a first for our faculty! On Friday, November 22, the Montpellier-Nîmes Faculty of Medicine opened its doors to the business community for the first time, offering a unique, jointly developed training program designed to help industry professionals better understand the medical field.

 

A collaborative training program that has been underway for several months

This groundbreaking training program, led by Professor Boris Guiu, head of the Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology at Saint Eloi Hospital within the Montpellier University Hospital, and Dean Michel Mondain, was developed in collaboration with Quantum Surgical, a specialist in surgical robotics. Comprising two modules, this training program helped strengthen employees’ knowledge in the healthcare field by providing a foundational overview of surgery, anesthesia, and interventional radiology, before delving into more specialized topics such as liver cancer and percutaneous ablation.

 

Presentations by healthcare professionals from university hospitals and the ICM

As a result, the first session of this training program enabled 15 company employees to receive training from healthcare professionals at the Faculty’s partner institutions: Montpellier University Hospital, Nîmes University Hospital, and the ICM. This initiative reflects a strong commitment to fostering greater collaboration between healthcare professionals and those working on the technical side to shape the future of medicine.

 

 

The Faculty is attentive to the needs of technical professionals in the sector

Recognizing the major changes transforming the healthcare sector and the training needs of technical professionals in the field, the Montpellier-Nîmes School of Medicine is now mobilizing its academic resources to meet the economic needs of the company. The Montpellier-Nîmes Faculty of Medicine has therefore collaborated with Quantum Surgical to design a customized training program tailored to the company’s specific needs.
