With the goal of helping PASS and LAS students best prepare for their first year of medical studies, the Pre-Semester Workshop (SPR) is a flagship event organized by the tutoring associations of the Montpellier-Nîmes School of Medicine.
As they do every summer, the tutoring associations at the University of Montpellier (Montpellier Health Tutoring Association, Pharmacy Tutors Association, Nîmes Health Tutoring) organize a Pre-Semester Workshop to help PASS and LAS students prepare as thoroughly as possible. This initiative aims to ease the transition into the academic year through introductory courses and guidance on study methods, while also promoting well-being and social life.
The SPR: An Asset for the Year Ahead
Participating in the SPR makes it easier to settle into the academic year. In fact, we offer both coursework and study skills sessions that help students avoid being caught off guard by the way work is organized in the PASS or LAS programs.
- SPR PASS runs from Monday, August 22, through Saturday, September 3.
SPR LAS runs from Monday, August 29, through Wednesday, August 31.
The Pre-School Year Workshop for PASS Students
For PASS students in the 2022/2023 academic year, the SPR takes place in person at the three campuses: Arnaud de Villeneuve (ATSM), Flahault (ATP), and Carémeau (TSN). The registration fee is €15, which coversthe cost of printing the handouts that will be distributed during the course. You must first register for the tutoring program, which is free and available year-round via the form accessible under the STUDIES AND TRAINING tab → PASS – LAS → TUTORING.
The SPR continues to be highly popular among students, the overwhelming majority of whom believe that the internship was beneficial to them, as shown in the statistics below!
All of our tutor teams are committed to making this orientation program both enjoyable and very useful for the rest of the year. It’s also a great way to get a feel for life at the university and to form study groups for the rest of the year!

#ProudOfOurStudents – It's in the News!
To help students prepare for their first year in the PASS and LAS programs, the health tutoring associations at the University of Montpellier (Montpellier Health Tutoring Association, Nîmes Health Tutoring, and the Pharmacy Tutors Association) are organizing a Pre-Semester Workshop to help students adjust to university life and gain a clear understanding of the year ahead.
The objectives of this internship
This workshop provides an opportunity to become familiar with the key topics that will be covered in the first semester, to start finding your own work rhythm, and to gradually immerse yourself in a year of the PASS or LAS program.
As a result, two separate SPRs will be organized:
FOR PASSES
An SPR for PASS students, which will begin on August 23 and end on September 4 with a group exam.
FOR THE LAS
An SPR for LAS students, scheduled for August 30 and 31, providing an introduction to the health minor.
The Pre-Semester Workshop for PASS Students
Registration for the PASS Pre-Semester Workshop will cost €15, which covers the cost of the printed handouts for the presentations. You must first register for the tutoring program; registration is free and open year-round (available here).
This SPR will take place from August 23 to September 4. It will be held in person at the respective locations of the three associations, namely:
ATSM
Arnaud de Villeneuve Site,
641 Doyen Gaston GIRAUD Avenue
34 090 Montpellier
TSN
Carémeau Site,
186 Chemin du Carreau de Lanes
30,900 Nîmes
ATP
School of Pharmacy,
15 Charles FLAHAULT Avenue
34 090 Montpellier

The in-person format of this orientation program is designed to help students get acquainted with the university environment—not only with one another but also with the tutors they will interact with throughout the year.
