Presentation
The purpose of the Master's degree is to offer health care managers, on the one hand, and physicians and medical professionals, on the other hand, and more generally to health care professionals, training that is complementary to their initial technical training in the fields of human sciences and gerontology. It thus offers within the Faculty of Medicine of Montpellier a specific training oriented towards the new concerns around dependence and autonomy in a context in which the university way becomes a necessity.
In the field of human relations management around chronic illness, management of establishments and services specialized in gerontology and research in humanities and social sciences, the University of Montpellier is particularly well placed to offer training that is both integrated into the health care offer and oriented towards the humanities.
The Master's degree and its three courses thus represent an original and unique offer on health between life science and human science within a medical university.

Epidemiology, Health Data, Biostatistics - EDSB
The proposed course is an evolution of the "Statistics for Health Sciences" course of the "Mathematics" mention of the previous period. The Master 1 becomes common with the course "Epidemiology, Health Data, Biostatistics - Data Analyst for Life Sciences" with which there was already a high degree of mutualization during the previous period.
Its objective remains to provide students coming mainly from the Health curriculum and biology degrees with a dual competence in biostatistics. This double skill is particularly sought after on the job market, as shown by the insertion rate figures at the end of the course. Our students are real assets in a team since they have the necessary culture in biology/health to master the problematic of interest and the competence to analyze the data in an adequate way. This adequate analysis of data in biology/health is a major issue for research in the years to come because the data are increasingly voluminous and numerous and errors in their analysis can lead (and have already led in the past) to erroneous or non-reproducible conclusions that discredit the entire research field. Real expertise in data analysis is therefore essential today to answer complex biological questions. This objective is the "DNA" of our training and will continue for the next period.
In addition, the first objective of the change of mention is to be consistent with the desired origin of our students: the situation in the "Mathematics" mention was misleading since we will only recruit students from the health and biology streams to offer them a double competence in biostatistics. However, these students will not naturally seek their master's degree in a "Mathematics" field. Our legibility was therefore compromised by this attachment.
In terms of evolution, it corresponds to a need concerning the target public which will be made up of health students and students in reorientation coming from the Specific Health Access Course (PASS) and the Health Access License (LAS), being set up within the framework of the reform of the PACES.
In addition, we have developed the content of the training to enable health and biology students to acquire skills that are ever closer to the job market in biostatistics: introduction of the Python language, reinforcement of lessons in Machine Learning and artificial intelligence. This evolution is also consistent with the change of mention because the health applications of these methods are increasingly numerous (biomarker research, personalized medicine, etc.).
REHAB
This training offer did not exist until now within the Faculty of Medicine Montpellier Nîmes of the University of Montpellier. The REHAB program responds to new training needs related to the evolution of the health system:
- Evolution of the health professions:
- Expansion of the research fields of the medical and surgical professions
- Universitarization of the paramedical professions, in particular the rehabilitation professions
- Creation of new professions in the field of rehabilitation: teachers of adapted physical activities, digital health engineers (virtual reality, home automation, robotics, connected objects, big data, brain-computer interfaces, functional electrical stimulation, neuromodulation, on-board sensors.....), telemedicine operators, pathway referrers, technicians of rehabilitation technical platforms.... Training in these new professions will make it possible to create new training courses after the LAS.
The objective of the REHAB course of the Health Master is to train researchers in the field of Rehabilitation. It is a training in health research, specifically oriented towards the functioning of the human being in normal or pathological situations with a view to reducing sensory-motor deficiencies, recovering or compensating for activity limitations and reducing handicaps.
This two-year program is open to health students, students in scientific disciplines and students in science and technology of physical activities and sports.
The originality of this program lies in the richness of the teaching based on an interdisciplinary approach to health, providing scientific knowledge in the field of re-education and rehabilitation, as well as theoretical and practical methodological knowledge allowing for the implementation of excellent research strategies aimed at improving the state of health of the population, reducing neuro-locomotor disability, and better understanding the complex issues of the evolution of health systems, both societal and technological.
The REHAB course of the Health Master of the UFR Medicine Montpellier/Nîmes is composed of a common M1 carried by the URF Medicine and of two sub-courses of Master 2: MAP and HAT
Care Humanities Society - SHS
The master's degree created in 2011 at the Faculty of Medicine of Montpellier (UM1) by Prof. Pierre Dujols and Prof. Laurent Visier, is in line with recent developments in the management of chronic diseases.
Health actors are called upon to participate in the development of research skills in the fields of perceptions of illness, the social organization set up around it, the structuring of networks and health education. This research must be based on knowledge in the life sciences and in the human and social sciences in order to be able to apprehend "hybrid objects". It is now at the interface between knowledge from the life sciences and the humanities that the most important changes are taking place. From then on, the strict division between human sciences and life sciences is no longer operative. Researchers investigating the field of chronic disease must be able to address health issues in their dual biological and social dimensions.
New skills are required to conduct high-level research on long-term illnesses, chronicity, life extension and disability.
Digital Care - Telemedicine, Telecare SD - TT
Gerontology: management and coordination of services and structures - ECSS
This Master 2 in Gerontology aims to train all professionals working in the geriatrics and gerontology sectors. This level 1 diploma is intended for people who hold or wish to hold a managerial position in a social, medico-social or health establishment or in private consulting and training structures in the gerontology sector.
The professional Master 2 in Gerontology was created in 2004 by Professor Claude Jeandel, at the request of professionals in the sector who wanted to develop specific training in the Languedoc-Roussillon region to support the elderly. This training is multidisciplinary, it associates the gerontological actors of the region and the actors of the university education.
OPERATIONS
- Management of a medical-social establishment,
- Management of home and personal assistance services,
- Manager of a medical-social establishment,
- Coordinator of medico-social services or institutions,
- Project manager in the medico-social sector within local authorities or private structures,
- Training in the field of gerontology,
- Animation of territorialized gerontological systems (CLIC, health network...).
The Master's program alternates course sessions (one week per month from September to June) and internship periods (3 to 6 months), which allows the theoretical teachings to be immediately anchored in professional practice.
Expertise in gerontology - Trans-Innov-Longevity - TIL
In September 2014, the University of Montpellier opened a Master 2 entitled "Expertise in Gerontology" - IDEFI-TIL (Initiative of Excellence in Innovative Training -Trans Innov Longevity) .
This Master's degree is taught 80% in e-learning (recorded courses accessible via a platform) and 20% in class . Each student benefits from individual tutoring by a practicing professional in the sector with whom the student is in close contact throughout the year. E-learning allows practicing professionals and people who are geographically distant from the university to benefit from quality university education.
This Master 2 is co-habilitated with the University Pierre et Marie Curie Paris VI and coordinated by the UNF3S (Université Numérique Francophone des Sciences de la Santé et du Sport).
The Trans-Innov-Longévité (TIL) project is a transdisciplinary inter-university system of excellence applied to the professions of longevity and autonomy. It is one of the winning projects of the IDEFI action of the Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR) Investissement d'Avenir program. It models an innovative system of inter-university cross-disciplinary training adapted to both initial training and lifelong learning. It multiplies a system of training of excellence based on the potential of national and international university networks.
TIL promotes access for new audiences to new university degree programs, offering a wide variety of hybrid educational models and paths, built on multi- and trans-disciplinary skills, around a structured but flexible educational engineering. To do this, it builds a global offer, combining face-to-face and distance learning courses taught by university professors who direct the master's programs and supervise and empower professionals from multidisciplinary fields, who act as tutors. TIL is therefore based on a new pedagogical engineering strategy combining a database of digital teaching resources produced by academics and by tutor-trainers.
TIL is a master's level university degree preparing students for jobs with gerontological responsibilities in the health and medical-social sector, as well as for many other jobs that interface with gerontology. TIL is designed for the acquisition of multiple skills.
