The SPES (Primary Care, Environment, and Health) program is a training initiative organized by the University Department of General Practice at the Montpellier-Nîmes School of Medicine and the Avicenne University Multidisciplinary Health Center in Cabestany. A one-day training session for general practice residents, as well as a public lecture, will take place on September 9, 2021.
The Origins of the Project
It is part of the call for proposals launched by the Occitanie Regional Health Agency (ARS) as part of the 3rd Regional Health and Environment Plan, of which it is one of the selected projects. In particular, it aims to increase awareness of environmental health among citizens and healthcare professionals.
Project Organization
To that end, it is organized in three stages:
A distance learning program offered to general practice residents (first year of the DES in General Practice) and faculty members in the Department of General Practice.
This in-person training session will take place on Thursday, September 9, 2021, at the historic building of the Montpellier-Nîmes School of Medicine. Intended for first-year general practice residents pursuing a DES (Specialized Medical Degree), the morning will be devoted to presentations and discussions with experts in environmental health, and the afternoon to working sessions with the residents to collaboratively develop their thesis projects in environmental health.
A public lecture will be held on the evening of Thursday, September 9, 2021, at the historic building of the Montpellier-Nîmes School of Medicine. Aimed at the general public, this year’s lecture will focus on air pollution.

Meeting with the Academic Advisor
Dr. François Carbonnel, an associate professor at the Schools of General Medicine within the Montpellier-Nîmes Faculty of Medicine and a general practitioner at the Avicenne MSPU, has been selected as the winner of the call for proposals organized by the Occitanie Regional Health Agency (ARS).
Why did you decide to launch this Primary Care, Environment, and Health training program?
The environment can pose risks to our societies and to our health. This training program helps raise awareness among our colleagues about what environmental health is. We want to educate them about this field, which is still relatively unknown.
What is the purpose of this new training program?
Through this training, future general practitioners will first be able to identify environmental health risks so that they can treat them. Second, they will be able to predict and prevent them.
Who is this training course intended for?
This training program is primarily intended for residents and faculty in general practice. The goal is for this program to become a sustainable and useful resource so that we can offer it on a broader scale and ensure that environmental health issues are addressed across all regions.
September 9
The event will consist of two parts: the first part will be dedicated to training residents and faculty in general practice. The second part, open to the general public, will feature a lecture.
