The SPES (Primary Care, Environment, and Health) program is a training initiative organized by the 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 winning projects. In particular, it aims to increase public and healthcare professionals’ engagement with environmental health.
Project Organization
To this end, it is organized in three stages:
A distance learning program offered to first-year residents in general practice (first year of the DES in General Practice) and to faculty members in the Department of General Practice.
This in-person session will take place on Thursday, September 9, 2021, at the historic building of the Montpellier-Nîmes Faculty of Medicine. Intended for first-year general medicine residents pursuing a DES (Specialization Diploma), 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 thesis projects in environmental health.
A public lecture on the evening of Thursday, September 9, 2021, at the historic building of the Montpellier-Nîmes Faculty 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 Department of General Medicine in the Faculty of Medicine of Montpellier-Nîmes and a general practitioner at the Avicenne Medical Practice, 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 communities and our health. This training aims to raise awareness among our colleagues about what environmental health entails. We want to educate them about this still relatively unknown field.
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. Later, 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 to make this program sustainable and effective so that we can offer it on a larger 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 focus on training residents and general practice instructors. The second part, open to the general public, will feature a lecture.
Here is the schedule for these two games:
