Signing of the Hospital-University agreement

On Tuesday, October 24, 2023, the new Hospital-University agreement between the CHU of Nîmes, Montpellier and the University of Montpellier was once again renewed and signed by all those involved, including the university president, the director of the CHU of Nîmes, the general manager of the CHU of Montpellier, the three deans of the health UFRs, and the general manager of the regional health agency (ARS Occitanie).

In practical terms, the two CHUs share the same training and research units (UFR) in medicine, pharmacy and dentistry, as well as the Montpellier Faculty of Medicine.

The two university hospitals are partners in the Montpellier University of Excellence I-Site (Muse) "which, since 2017, has federated a large academic, scientific, institutional and economic community in the Montpellier region in the fields of biodiversity, agriculture, the environment and health".

This label was definitively confirmed in 2022, while the Pôle Universitaire d'Innovation (PUI), run by the University of Montpellier, was awarded the label in July 2023.

The Dean of the Faculty of Odontology, Jean-Cédric Durand, reminded us that this agreement confirms our determination to revitalize our links with the Nîmes University Hospital, by offering training courses for the benefit of our students and interns, and through a territorial commitment on the part of our professionals. The director of the Nîmes CHU confirms that this Hospital-University agreement is also a factor of attractiveness, insofar as having two CHUs multiplies the number of internship sites, training opportunities and access to technical facilities.
