Presentation
The aim of the DEUST training is to enable the qualified pharmacy assistants entering the job market to be a more effective support for the pharmacist and to be real collaborators accompanying him in the evolution of the missions.
To achieve this level of requirement, a level 5 diploma such as a DEUST is very much in demand by all the partners in the dispensing pharmacy sector, since it will provide a real level of higher education, while possibly allowing students to enrol in a professional degree with a hospital, dispensary or technical focus.

Programme
The DEUST training will be organised on a sandwich course basis (apprenticeship or professional training contract). Most of the teaching will be given by the instructors of the partner CFAs (Greta-CFA Montpellier Littoral, PURPLE CAMPUS CCI Occitanie, Greta-CFA Pyrénées Orientales, FORMACOPEE) in the partner institutions. However, some of the lessons can be held remotely, synchronously or asynchronously, when the teachers of the UFR of Pharmaceutical and Biological Sciences of Montpellier are mobilized.
Pedagogical principles :
- Training of the CFA trainers by the disciplinary referents identified by name within the UFR of Pharmaceutical and Biological Sciences of Montpellier;
- Provision of a common education based on a reference system developed in co-construction based on the blocks of competences of the RNCP sheet of the DEUST Preparer/Technician in Officine.
- Development of inter-professional teaching (pharmacists, doctors of pharmacy, holders of scientific masters, etc.).
- Educational progression articulated around blocks of Fundamental UEs (semester 1 § 2), transversal UEs of coordinated teaching "physiology, pathology, associated treatments" including specific technical comments on prescriptions (CTE), UEs with a professional vocation (management, ethics, law, communication, English...).
- Simulation teaching (bank of "clinical cases" and "counter situations" in a simulation room).
- Teaching in professional simulation: co-acquisition of knowledge and skills in the training centre and in the place of learning according to defined themes. The progress of the acquisitions is monitored in close collaboration with the apprenticeship master by evaluating the objectives to be reached, defined jointly by the training organisations and the professionals (methodology and evaluation).
- Students are assessed by examination at the end of each semester.
- Evaluation of teaching.
Student support can take several forms:
- A minimum of 4 company visits over the two years of the DEUST. The first visit will take place at the beginning of the first year and will be followed by a follow-up visit in the first and second years.
- Students with disabilities will be able to benefit from all the resources available at the University and in the training centres (Handiversity unit, disability advisors, etc.).
- Guidance and social support for any student with problems or questions on social issues.
