We often talk about the initiatives of our students at the start of their studies, but those of our interns are just as exciting! Such is the case with the projects recently undertaken by our general medicine interns. As part of their thesis work, 6 interns have developed original websites dedicated to their peers and practicing healthcare professionals. To find out more about these projects, we spoke to Dr Marie-Catherine REBOUL, Associate Professor at the University Department of General Medicine (DUMG) and thesis supervisor for these interns.
Projects born out of the work of doctoral theses in general practice
After 6 years of study, our medical students become interns. They then choose a specialty according to their exam results and their affinities. In Montpellier, General Medicine is a major field, with almost 150 new interns every year, all of whom join our University Department of General Medicine.
To receive the title of Doctor of Medicine, interns must, among other things, submit a thesis, at the end of almost 9 years' study. A few years ago, as part of this thesis, Dr Marie-Catherine REBOUL initiated this original project with the interns she supervises, to create a bouquet of websites for healthcare professionals.
Websites created on the principle of the scientific approach
"It's a project I wanted to anchor in a scientific approach," she explains. "The interns who volunteer for these projects are required to carry out a bibliographical study prior to the creation of the site. The data is collected, sorted, classified and finally referenced before being processed in the form of a research question validated by the thesis supervisor.
The search question sets the tone for the site: it defines its overall theme and thus its main objective. "This can cover various fields, such as diagnosis/screening assistance, sharing of best practices, sharing of therapeutic advice, sharing of practical information sheets, prescription assistance", explains Dr. Reboul.
Six websites have been launched since 2020!
Dermatokid.com, created by Estelle Renart: a website to help diagnose dermatological pathologies in children aged 0 to 6.
Regularly prone to skin rashes, children can present some diagnostic difficulties for general practitioners. The Dermatokid website offers a diagnostic approach based on numerous illustrations of skin symptoms observed in children.
- URL: https: //dermatokid.com/
- Target: interns, general practitioners
- Objective: Diagnostic assistance
- The plusses: the many illustrations, the practical summary sheets and the emergency section.
- Quality guarantee: Site built to Hodge Sandvik standards, listed on the KitMédical website, which lists quality websites. Regular updates are planned.

Depistoeil.com, created by Tibère de Villiers: an ophthalmology and primary care screening website
General practitioners are rarely confronted with the task of screening for ophthalmological pathologies. Lack of equipment or training can make this difficult. By proposing an interrogation protocol and practical tools for age-appropriate screening of frequent pathologies in the office, the site provides real support for practitioners.
- URL: https: //www.depistoeil.com/
- Target: General practitioners
- Objective: Screening assistance
- Benefits: screening assistance based on the patient's age or pathology; tools for use in the practice
- Quality guarantee: The site has been tested by 27 general practitioners and 2 ophthalmologists. It has been developed according to the quality criteria of the Netscoring and Hodge Sandvik grids.

Kineclic.fr, created by Thomas Bonnin: a tool for understanding and prescribing physiotherapy treatments
GPs have little contact with physiotherapists. They are poorly trained in physiotherapy practices. The Kineclic website enables them to improve their understanding of physiotherapy care, and therefore to improve their prescribing practices.
- URL: https: //www.kineclic.fr/
- Target: GPs and all healthcare professionals prescribing physiotherapy care
- Objective: Help in understanding and prescribing
- Plus: reminder of the basics of physiotherapy, reminder of clinical examinations (videos)
- Quality guarantee: The site has been tested by general practitioners and validated by experienced physiotherapists. Regular updates are planned.

- URL: https: //gestapratique.fr/
- Target: Interns, general practitioners, midwives
- Objective: To answer the most frequently asked questions in the daily life of the pregnant patient.
- The plus: advice on daily life, downloadable patient fact sheets

Declic-ecrans.com, created by Gauthier Duret: a database of information sheets on preventing screen misuse among young children.
A real social issue, exposure to screens among the youngest children raises questions among young parents. This site brings together all the best practices on the subject in the form of summary sheets, easily accessible to doctors and patients alike.

An initiative spotted by Le Quotidien du Médecin!
While these sites have been a resounding success since their inception (some boast over 60,000 visits a year at the time of writing), the scientific rigor with which they have been designed has attracted a great deal of media attention. For example, the magazine Le Quotidien du Médecin has highlighted the Dermatokid and Declics-Ecrans sites!
New projects in the pipeline
Following the success of these first 6 projects, Dr Marie-Catherine Reboul is keen to repeat the experience with new interns, on new themes: "I'm thinking of the themes of depression/mental health and sleep disorders". If you're interested in these projects, please contact Dr. Reboul!
The SPES (Soins Primaires Environnement et Santé) program is part of the General Medicine Department of the Montpellier-Nîmes Faculty of Medicine.

Meeting with the training manager
Doctor François Carbonnel, Senior Lecturer in General Medicine at the Montpellier-Nîmes Faculty of Medicine and general practitioner at the Avicenne MSPU, is the winner of the call for projects launched by ARS Occitanie.
Why did you decide to set up this Primary Care Environment and Health course?
The environment can pose risks to our society and our health. This training course is designed to raise awareness of environmental health among our colleagues. We want to train them in this little-known field.
What is the aim of this new training course?
Thanks to this training, future general practitioners will first be able to identify the risks that the environment poses to health, so as to be able to treat them. Secondly, they will be able to predict and avoid them.
Who should attend?
This course is aimed primarily at interns and teachers of general medicine. The aim is for the training to become permanent and useful, so that we can offer it on a wider scale and ensure that environmental health issues are addressed in all regions.
September 9
The day will be divided into two parts: the first will be devoted to training interns and teachers of general medicine. A second phase, open to the general public, will include a conference.
Here is the program for these two parts:
