#ProudOfOurStudents: MAP’s art installation project

, , ,

Students from the Montpellier Artistic Project (MAP) invite you to join them in analyzing a scene from Godard’s film *Contempt* during the special exhibition by artist Sylvain Fraysse at the Historic Building of the Montpellier-Nîmes Faculty of Medicine. We met with them to discuss this unique project.

How did this project come about?

The“Camille” project was launched in 2022, born out of a desire among members of the Montpellier Artistic Project to introduce students at the Montpellier-Nîmes Faculty of Medicine to new forms of art. The 2021–2022 MAP board therefore reached out to the Regional Contemporary Art Fund (FRAC) with the aim of creating a joint project, and this led to a collaboration with visual artist Sylvain Fraysse and Céline Mélissent, who oversees public engagement and the promotion of the collection at the FRAC.

 

What does this artistic experience entail for visitors?

The exhibition is a sensory experience of light and sound centered on Jean-Luc Godard’s film *Contempt *. The artist uses the Dissection Room in the Historic Building of the Montpellier-Nîmes Faculty of Medicine to “dissect” a scene from the film. In this iconic scene, the director lists the parts of Camille’s body—one of the main characters, played by Brigitte Bardot—in the manner of a dissection. Sylvain Fraysse recreates the scene’s color filters using gelatin sheets on the windows of the dissection room and also cuts the film’s original soundtrack into 24 frequencies. In this way, he dissects the very essence of the scene.

 

What exactly is MAP?

The "Montpellier Artistic Project" is a non-profit organization established in August 2020 by three medical students who wanted to organize artistic activities within the faculty.
Over the past three years, the MAP board has expanded, and we now offer a variety of workshops and activities across our four divisions: Applied Arts, Public Speaking, Literary Arts, and Culinary Arts. To this end, we provide materials and introductory sessions for various artistic practices, and we also organize art contests on our social media platforms, as well as a public speaking contest each semester.
You can find us through our mascot, a chameleon named Léon Art, on Facebook, as well as on our Instagram account.

 

Why is this project so important to you?

It is important to us because it allows us to bring the Faculty’s historic building to life by opening a room that has never before been open to the public, and thus gives the association a boost by taking us out of our usual workshops. We have learned a great deal from this project and hope that students and visitors will enjoy it. Furthermore, we are very proud to be part of Montpellier’s bid for the 2028 Capital of Culture and to be able to contribute to the city’s cultural life. It is a vibrant experience that brings students together.

 

What kind of support have you been able to gather?

We had the opportunity to work with Sylvain Fraysse and the FRAC through Céline Mélissent, who served as our primary point of contact during the development of this project. The project was selected to be part of Montpellier’s bid for the title of European Capital of Culture 2028, which allowed us to receive financial support for the production of the exhibition. The TaM supported us by allowing us to install posters at certain tram and bus stops throughout the metropolitan area to promote the exhibition.
We also received support from the University of Montpellier (UM) through the Student Initiative Solidarity Fund (FSDIE) and the UM Arts and Culture Department, notably Eléonore Szturemski, as well as from the Montpellier-Nîmes Faculty of Medicine. We would like to extend a special thank you to Dean Isabelle Laffont and Professor Gérald Chanques for their support and logistical assistance.

Gerontology | Aging simulator: innovating to gain a better understanding

, ,

Older adults account for more than 20% of the French population (Source: INSEE 2020), yet the aging process remains poorly understood. Thanks to the simulation tools offered in this innovative workshop, participants will be able to take a leap forward in time by several years. Through this experience, they will be able to hone their skills in supporting older adults.

Why this workshop?

This workshop, offered by the School of Geriatrics and Gerontology, was designed to allow participants to experience the major impairments associated with aging. 

It is led by its administrative manager, Myriam Taroudjit, and Marie-Laure Portalez, a design engineer. 

Special equipment allows participants to experience firsthand the sensory challenges associated with aging. This helps them recognize the difficulties faced by older adults and better understand their behaviors and specific needs.

“A true learning-by-doing experience aimed at improving the quality of life for older adults”

The effectiveness of this simulation-based method was the subject of a study conducted by medical students at Julius-Maximilians University in Würzburg (Dr. Filz S.A., Dr. Swoboda W., et al.).

The research, conducted in the form of practical training sessions involving the use of a simulation suit, yielded the following results:

  • Ability to empathize with the living conditions of older adults after the internship: 83% of participants.
  • Ability to put oneself in the shoes of an elderly person after the practical training: 90% of participants.
  • Understanding of an older adult’s physical condition after the practicum: 95% of participants

 

How?

Using simulation scenarios composed of several elements, participants put themselves in the shoes of an older adult by experiencing the physical and emotional challenges associated with aging.

Here are a few examples: 

  • SPECIAL GLASSES

    They cause altered color perception, grainy blurriness, sensitivity to glare, and/or a narrowed field of vision

  • HEADPHONES

    It causes high-frequency hearing loss

  • THE WEIGHTED VEST

    This vest allows participants to experience spinal curvature, anterior pelvic tilt, postural weakness, restricted mobility, loss of strength, increased physical stress, and/or impaired balance.

  • GLOVES

    They cause reduced hand mobility, decreased dexterity, and diminished tactile sensation

  • ANKLE WEIGHTS

    Ankle weights cause a loss of muscle strength, impaired coordination, and an unsteady gait due to shuffling

  • THE SOFT INSOLE OF THE OVERBOOT

    This unique sole provides a cushioned feel and reduces the sensation of contact with the ground, creating a sense of instability

  • SPECIAL GLOVES

    These other gloves enable the simulation of tremors, which are realistically reproduced through electrical muscle stimulation and a continuously adjustable control module

Feedback from our students

Every year, this innovative workshop is offered to students at the school to supplement their curriculum and deepen their understanding of older adults. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive:

Stéphanie: “This workshop was very interesting, and everyone who works with older adults should have the opportunity to participate in this simulation workshop. Losing one’s senses is very unsettling.”

Mariam: “This afternoon, I experienced what the elderly people I care for go through every day: muscle pain, hearing and vision problems, and slowness—all caused by an environment that is no longer safe for them to navigate.”

Maïlys: “In a professional setting, I will pay even closer attention to these “pains” and how people experience and cope with them in their daily lives, so that I can best tailor my responses to their needs.”

#ClubOfTheWeek – Meet the Association Carabine Montpelliéraine

,

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 Association Carabine Montpellieraine?

The Association Carabine Montpelliéraine (or the Montpellier Medical Student Association) 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) through the sixth year.

Working closely with the PACES Tutoring Program and the faculty of the School of Medicine, the ACM supports students throughout their academic journey by providing various resources (books, handouts, stethoscopes, and other supplies) and offering them the opportunity to participate in a variety of events (community service initiatives, cultural events, student parties, galas, etc.).

In addition, the ACM is part of the local student representation network (Z’élus associatifs) and the national network (ANEMF – National Association of Medical Students in France), which advocates for students’ interests before administrative and government bodies.

What activities or initiatives do you organize throughout the year?

The initiatives we undertake are wide-ranging and encompass all the opportunities that may arise during our studies. First, we have set up a direct sales service for course handouts to help students learn more effectively. 

We participate in national and international exchange programs, which we organize through the ANEMF network in the form of various exchange programs. 

For several years now, we have also built strong relationships with local businesses throughout Montpellier that offer us “great deals.” We are also in the process of expanding our scope of action to play a more active role in community solidarity and sustainable development in our beautiful city of Montpellier. From simple student parties to global health charity events like the Telethon, Movember, Pink October, or Sidaction, and the Medicine Gala—as well as a daily Culture section offering organic food baskets, “ciné’kult” 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 program?

Personally, I’ve always been drawn to medical concepts, so it was only natural that I chose this path. It’s only when you choose to study medicine that you realize just how much work still lies ahead. But it’s by volunteering your time to serve an organization that you truly realize the immense scope of the work you can and must do. Having briefly described our activities above, I believe that the Corpo Médecine is an institution that, for several generations now, has been part of the daily lives of medical students and helps keep our traditions alive. 

Why do you think someone should join your organization? 

By joining our association, you’ll be able to discover all our great deals in Montpellier, participate in all our events, gain access to the services we offer (sales of handouts, supplies, books, etc.), and much more!

How do I sign up? 

Joining is easy—just stop by our office at the Arnaud de Villeneuve campus, located at 641 Avenue du Doyen Gaston Giraud, 34090 Montpellier. The membership fee is €10, payable annually. 

A few words about the 2020–2021 board?

The election of the Corpo Médecine executive board takes place at the end of each academic year and is conducted by second-year students. They select members from their class to form the executive board for the following year. You can find out more about the new executive board members on our website.

We're also on social media—you can find us at:

#OrganizationOfTheWeek – Meet Med’ley

,

Last week, we met with the Carabins Crocodiles Association to learn more about community life in Nîmes. Today, Gaël Gomez, president of the Montpellier music association, is taking part in a Q&A session!

In a nutshell, what is Med’Ley?

Med’ley Montpellier Association is the music club based at the School of Medicine. Since last year, it has been open to all students in healthcare programs (medicine, midwifery, pharmacy, dentistry, physical therapy, etc.). Above all, our goal is to bring music into these long and challenging studies. It also allows all these future healthcare professionals to interact with one another during our various events. It is not just a club for musicians, but rather an opportunity for students to meet and connect in a musical setting.

What activities or initiatives do you organize throughout the year?

PreviousNext
123

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

In addition to our humanitarian efforts, we organize concerts at popular bars in Montpellier, as well as Blind Test and karaoke nights—all with the aim of bringing people together through music. 

In addition, for the past two years, our singing competition, the Med’ley Music Awards, has brought together singers from all academic disciplines at the University of Montpellier and other cities such as Toulouse and Nîmes. Held in the anatomy amphitheater, this competition brings together more than 200 people every year, with a new feature introduced this year: direct qualification for the finals of the Coupe de France d’Interprétation 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 usually organize a large outdoor concert in the Jardin des Plantes, complete with food and drink stands; however, due to the current crisis, this event could not take place.

Med’ley also gives musicians the opportunity to perform at many other events, such as the Gala Médecine, the ACM’s Open Stages, and Heritage Days, among others.

Finally, throughout the year, we offer lessons in our music room to help members learn an instrument, as well as jam sessions to bring musicians together. 

What does the association offer students?

The club gives health science students the chance to come together through music, regardless of their major, and take their minds off things. It allows people to connect and socialize in a much more relaxed setting—through music. 

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

Why do you think someone should join your organization? 

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 provided for their use. 

They also have the opportunity to play at the CHU and perform at all the various events we organize. But they can also simply come by to take advantage of our many special rates and enjoy a great time with music. 

Members who want to learn to play an instrument or pick it back up can join our Med’ley tutorials. 

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

How do I sign up? 

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

You can join us during our office hours at the various schools, before or during our events, or by contacting us through our social media channels.

A few words about the 2020–2021 board?

The 2020–2021 executive board has already been selected and will take office following the handover General Assembly, which will be held in early June. This motivated, promising board, brimming with new ideas, is sure to satisfy our future members, especially since it brings together four health-related programs…

"Books and People" Exhibition: Check it out at your faculty!

, , , ,

In 2020, the Faculty of Medicine celebrates its 800th anniversary. To kick off the celebrations, discover the most valuable works from the historic medical library in a special exhibition titled: “Books and People: The Birth of the Montpellier School of Medicine Library.” Discover numerous rare books in the Tekné Makré rooms of the Historic Building, from September 21 to November 9.

A long humanist tradition

From Henri Haguenot to the collector Xavier Atger, via Chaptal, Prunelle, and Barthez, the richness of Montpellier’s medical library is also a testament to the great humanists who built it up beginning in the second half of the 18th century. Through personal donations, bequests, purchases, and revolutionary confiscations, this encyclopedic collection reflects a strong commitment to making available to doctors, students, and the general public “the best works written on each subject” (Prunelle).
