Presentation
The aim of the Master's program is to offer healthcare managers, doctors and other medical professionals, and more generally healthcare professionals, training in human sciences and gerontology to complement their initial technical training. Within the Montpellier Faculty of Medicine, it offers specific training geared towards the new concerns surrounding dependency and autonomy, in a context where the university route is becoming a necessity.
The University of Montpellier is particularly well placed to offer training in the management of human relations around chronic illnesses, the management of specialized gerontology facilities and services, and research in the humanities and social sciences, which is both integrated into the healthcare offering and oriented towards the humanities.
The Master's degree and its 3 courses thus represent an original and unprecedented offering in the field of health between life science and human science within a medical university.
Program
Select a program
Epidemiology, Health Data, Biostatistics - EDSB
The proposed course is an evolution of the "Statistics for Health Sciences" course in the "Mathematics" field from the previous period. Master 1 is now shared with the "Epidemiology, Health Data, Biostatistics - Data Analyst for Life Sciences" course, with which there was already a high degree of mutualization during the previous period.
Its objective remains to provide students, mainly from the Health curriculum and biology bachelor's degrees, with the opportunity to acquire dual skills in biostatistics. This dual competence 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 to a team, as they have the necessary biology/health culture to master the problem of interest, and the skills to analyze the data appropriately. Proper data analysis in biology/health is a major challenge for research in the years to come, as data are becoming ever more voluminous and numerous, and errors in their analysis can lead (and have already led in the past) to erroneous or non-reproducible conclusions, discrediting the entire research sector. Genuine expertise in data analysis is therefore essential to answer complex biological questions. This objective is the "DNA" of our training program, and will remain so for the coming period.
In addition, the first objective of the change of major is to be consistent with the desired origin of our students: the situation in the "Mathematics" major was misleading, as we will only be recruiting students from the health and biology streams to offer them a dual competence in biostatistics. However, these students will not naturally seek their Master's degree in a "Mathematics" field. Our readability was therefore compromised by this attachment.
In terms of development, it meets a need in terms of the target public, which will be made up of health students and students reorienting from the Parcours d'Accès Spécifique Santé (PASS) and the Licence Accès Santé (LAS), currently being set up as part of the PACES reform.
In addition, we have developed the course content to enable students in the health and biology fields to acquire skills in biostatistics that are increasingly relevant to the job market: introduction of the Python language, reinforcement of teaching in Machine Learning and artificial intelligence. This development is also in line with the change of mention, as the healthcare applications of these methods are increasingly numerous (biomarker research, personalized medicine, etc.).
REHAB
Until now, this training offer did not exist within the Montpellier Nîmes Faculty of Medicine of the University of Montpellier. The REHAB course meets the new training needs arising from changes in the healthcare system:
- Changes in the healthcare professions :
- Broadening the scope of research in the medical and surgical professions
- Universitarization of paramedical professions, particularly rehabilitation professions
- Creation of new professions in the field of rehabilitation: adapted physical activity teachers, 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, rehabilitation technical platform technicians....Training in these new professions will enable the creation of new training streams after the LAS.
The aim of the REHAB course in the Health Master's program is to train researchers in the field of Re-education and Rehabilitation. It provides training in health research, specifically focused on human functioning 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 course is open to health students, students in scientific disciplines and students in the sciences and techniques of physical and sports activities.
The originality of this pathway lies in the richness of its 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 enabling 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 involved in the evolution of healthcare systems, both societal and technological.
The REHAB pathway of the Master Santé of the UFR Médecine Montpellier/Nîmes is made up of a common M1 led by the URF Médecine and two Master 2 subpathways: MAP and HAT.
Care Humanities Society - SHS
The Master's program, created in 2011 at the Montpellier Faculty of Medicine (UM1) by Prof. Pierre Dujols and Prof. Laurent Visier, is in line with recent developments in the management of chronic diseases.
Health professionals 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 draw on knowledge from both the life sciences and the human and social sciences, in order to understand "hybrid objects". The most important changes are now taking place at the interface between knowledge from the life sciences and the humanities. The strict division between human and life sciences is no longer operative. Researchers working in the field of chronic illness must be able to address health issues in both their biological and social dimensions.
New skills are needed to conduct high-quality research into long-term illnesses, chronicity, longer life and disability.
Digital Care - Telemedicine, Telecare SD - TT
Gerontology: management and coordination of services and structures - ECSS
The aim of the Master 2 in Gerontology is to train all professionals working in the geriatrics and gerontology sectors. This level 1 diploma is aimed at people holding or wishing to hold a managerial position in a social, medico-social or healthcare establishment, or in private consulting or 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 courses in the Languedoc-Roussillon region to support the elderly. This multi-disciplinary training program brings together the region's gerontology professionals and university teaching staff.
OPERATIONS
- Management of medical-social establishments,
- 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 gerontology,
- Coordination of local gerontological systems (CLIC, health network, etc.).
The Master's program alternates classroom sessions (1 week per month from September to June) with internship periods (3 to 6 months), which immediately anchor theoretical teachings in professional practice.
Expertise in gerontology - Trans-Innov-Longévité - TIL
In September 2014, the University of Montpellier opened a Master 2 course entitled "Expertise in Gerontology" - IDEFI-TIL (Initiative d'Excellence en Formations Innovantes -Trans Innov Longévité).
This Master's degree is 80% e-learning (recorded courses accessible via a platform) and 20% face-to-face. 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 enables practicing professionals and people geographically distant from the university to benefit from high-quality university teaching.
This Master 2 is co-accredited with Université Pierre et Marie Curie Paris VI and coordinated by 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, and is one of the winning projects under the IDEFI initiative of the Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR) Investissement d'Avenir program. It models an innovative system of cross-disciplinary inter-university training adapted to both initial training and lifelong learning. It leverages the potential of national and international university networks to create a system of excellence in training.
TIL promotes access for new target groups to new university degree courses, offering a wide variety of models and hybrid teaching paths, built on multi- and trans-disciplinary skills, around structured yet flexible pedagogical engineering. To achieve this, it builds a comprehensive offering, combining face-to-face and distance learning courses delivered by university lecturers who direct the masters courses and supervise and empower professionals from multidisciplinary fields, who act as trainer-tutors. TIL thus relies on a new pedagogical engineering strategy combining a database of digital teaching resources produced by academics and tutor-trainers.
TIL is a Master's-level university degree preparing students for positions of responsibility in gerontology in the health and medical-social sector, as well as for a wide range of other professions interfacing with gerontology. TIL is designed for the acquisition of multiple skills.
