Throughout the academic year, the Montpellier-Nîmes School of Medicine organizes ECOS (Objective and Structured Clinical Examinations) for its students.
These exams involve simulating the management of a clinical situation in the presence of a “patient” known as a “standardized participant.”
We are recruiting these participants.
You will find all the relevant information—from the scheduled training to the role you will play during student exams—on theStandardized Test Takers page.

For the 19thedition edition of “Rendez-vous aux Jardins,” gardeners and botanists welcome you from all corners of Europe to explore the theme “Gardens in the Face of Climate Change.” The event, organized by the Ministry of Culture, will take place from Friday, June 3, through Sunday, June 5, 2022. And here’s some good news: Montpellier’s Jardin des Plantes will be participating for two days.
What exactly is “Rendez-vous aux jardins”?
Starting Friday, June 3, nearly 2,200 gardens will open their doors, offering moments of joy and discovery. It’s an opportunity to share with family and friends through a wide range of activities. Throughout the weekend, visitors will be able to interact with experts on nature conservation measures, with the goal of raising awareness about the protection of biodiversity—which is essential to the well-being of all living things. Furthermore, in recent years, thanks to successful European cooperation, many countries have been participating, including Germany, Portugal, Croatia, Italy, Poland, and France. This is an opportunity to discover magnificent gardens, including the Jardin des Plantes at the Montpellier School of Medicine.
And what's it like at the Jardin des Plantes?
The Jardin des Plantes at the Montpellier School of Medicine is opening its doors this year for its 19th annual event. In groups of 25, you’ll explore the garden’s iconic sites through 14 guided tours centered on recurring themes such as “Bees and Humans in 2022,” “Aromatic Plants and the Five Senses Plots,” or general tours. All passionate about botany, our five gardener-botanists—who will take on the role of guides for the duration of the weekend—will show you how plants are adapting to climate change in their respective areas of expertise. The goal of these two days is to foster interaction between our gardener-botanists and the general public, as well as to raise awareness among young people and adults alike about the importance of preserving and promoting the Faculty’s Jardin des Plantes. An iconic landmark of Montpellier, come discover it with fresh eyes. We hope to see many of you there!

A new series of lectures on health
UM Thursdays are back in 2020! Open to the public, these lectures offer an opportunity to learn more about new health technologies and teaching methods, as well as to expand your knowledge of medicinal plants and aromatherapy! These are just some of the topics that will be covered throughout the year by faculty members from our university.

Tuesday, October 6, 2020 – Medicinal Plants
As far back as we can go in time, thanks to ancient manuscripts, the future of humanity seems to have always been closely linked to plants. The reputation of the earliest physicians (beginning with Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, 450 BC) was most often built on their extensive knowledge of plants and the treatments they derived from them. Logically, then, the plants used to formulate these new remedies (“medicines” = “pharmakon”) were termed “medicinal.” But what remains of this historical and ancestral definition? What does it still mean to people today, and what is the significance of “medicinal plants” in 2020?

Worth (Re)Discovering – Thursday, January 16, 2020 – Medical Education: The Paths to Innovation
“There’s no such thing as a ‘first time’ for a healthcare professional.” Even though there’s always a first time, it’s important to prepare future healthcare professionals through scenario-based training—whether for technical procedures, interpersonal skills, interprofessional communication, or preparing for emergency situations where every action must be perfectly coordinated.
Inspired by aerospace standards, healthcare simulation platforms are an essential tool for developing the technical and interpersonal skills of future healthcare professionals, complementing clinical rotations with patients. This first edition of “UM Thursdays,” held in celebration of the Faculty of Medicine’s 800th anniversary, offers an opportunity to explore these remarkable tools while touring the Arnaud de Villeneuve Health Campus and to gain insight into the challenges of these educational techniques, which remain fully aligned with the Faculty of Medicine’s philosophy of placing the human being at the center of its concerns.
Below is the schedule of today's lectures, which will begin at 3:00 p.m. in the Rondelet Amphitheater!
-
A Simulation-Based Learning Platform: Just a Gimmick? – by Blaise Debien
-
Research on Simulation-Based Teaching – by Valérie Courtin
-
Situational-Based Teaching: Assessment Using the C3 Model – by Philippe Guilpain
