BRITTANY

Firmly anchored to the European continent and advancing majestically into the sea, the Breton peninsula like Cornwall and Wales is one of the many headlands of Western Europe between Spanish Galicia and Kerry in Ireland.

With a surface area of 27 208 km2, Brittany, a region of Western France is made up of the Finistère, Côtes d'Armor, Morbihan and Ille-et-Vilaine departments and has a population of 2 800 000. In addition to the city of Rennes (Ille-et-Vilaine), the capital of Brittany, the other main towns are Saint-Brieuc (Côtes d'Armor), Quimper and Brest (Finistère) and Vannes and Lorient (Morbihan).

Brittany climate is usually mild and humid because of vicinity of the sea. Fishing and its linked activities with summer tourism and specific cultures make maritime Brittany the most lively and populated part of the region. Apart from Rennes, all the big towns are directly linked to the sea. Inland Brittany is devoted to cereal-growing and most of all to rearing animals, which is also done along the coast.

Along the Breton shoreline, there are thousands of islands, islets, reefs and rocks testifying to the rocky capes and shelves engulfed by the rising sea. A handful of inhabited islands can nevertheless be distinguished by their strong personality, derived from both their history, traditions and climate.

Although they like to assert their Breton identity, the Armoricans never miss an opportunity to show their attachment to the Celtic culture. They have special relationships with the Celts of Ireland, Wales, Scotland and Galicia, with whom they share linguistic roots and legends.

FINISTERE

Finistère (Penn-ar-Bed in Breton language) is the most westerly department of Brittany with a surface area of 673 000 hectares comprising 4 main towns (Brest, Châteaulin, Morlaix and Quimper), 54 cantons and 283 rural and urban districts. Its 852 500 inhabitants account for 30 % of the Breton population. Brest is the biggest town in Finistère, whereas Quimper is its administrative centre.

Inland Finistère is crossed by two lines of highla 222o1417c nds, the Arrhée Mountains and the Black Mountains enclosing the Châteaulin basin and dominating the Leon headland and Cornouaille. Leon is renowned for with its cultures of vegetables whereas Cornwall is known for rearing animals in association with fruit farming. Fishing is particularly important in South Finistère and tourism is particularly developed all along the coast.

The coasts of Finistère along with its islands form the first piece of land of the European continent. The islands (Ouessant, Molène, Sein, Batz and Glénans), incomparable gateways to Finistère, have managed to conserve their uniqueness and customs. Rich in history, with their strong identity they are the western continuation of the European continent.

The department of Finistère has an incomparable richness in landscapes, nature and heritage. It is the main French department for fishing and takes its wealth from the sea and shoreline by exploiting its maritime resources, thalassotherapy, research, tourism and business. Its long coastal front composed of more than 800 kms has naturally generated many activities: fishing, French Navy-related business, sailing, fish canning factories, medical thalassotherapy, oceanography, gastronomy, seaweed and applied chemistry.

Lastly, in economics, painting or literature, Finistère has managed very early to find its place and to make its voice heard. And this historic presence continues today: "if Finistère today excels in a specific domain, it is because it has done so for a long time".

BREST

Brest, a town of 213 545 inhabitants at the tip of Brittany, has the strategic position of a big port sheltered by one of the prettiest bays in the world. It is the main town of Western Brittany and offers a great variety of landscapes, biological resources, industrial and cultural activities.

This capital of the sea and town of culture born from the sea is situated within a 150-km² bay on the big maritime route of the Atlantic Ocean and the English Channel. It has managed to develop its maritime vocation while modernizing it to become an European capital of Sciences and Technologies of the Sea, thanks to the dense and coherent team formed by the University, the Schools of Engineers, the Institutes and Centres of Research and the various companies.

Maritime engineering, living resources, oceanography and oceanology, tourism and water sports, protection of the environment: Brest has gathered the scientific, technological and industrial expertise at the highest level in all areas, combining research and technological acquisitions with traditional know-how.

The exceptional location of the deep and sheltered harbour in the 17th Century led to birth of Brest and the start of its maritime vocation.

This was also the cause of its destruction during the Siege of the town in September 1944. Rebuilt after the war, Brest is today a big university town with the University of Western Brittany, 7 Schools of Engineers, 24 000 students and 1 500 researchers.

The main industrial activities of the region are professional electronics, construction of military ships in its shipyards, mechanical construction and agri-business. But, Brest is also a naval base, a port of national importance, a place dedicated to research, protection of marine eco-systems and fight against incidental pollution, spatial oceanography, fish farming, the production and the industrial exploitation of seaweed and marine biotechnology.

Today Brest is the European capital of Sciences and Technology of the Sea, the Technopole of the Sea with the highest concentration of researchers and engineers working on sea-related projects (60 % of the French research) and the European University Institute of the Sea. Brest is also an important town for exhibitions dedicated to the sea.

If Brest is basing its future on the sea and new technologies, it cannot disassociate itself from its inland: Brittany is known as one of the first regions in Europe for greenhouse cultures, intensive pig farming, milk and meat production, early production of vegetables and big co-operatives.

Brest is open onto the world by powerful means of communications: a port, an international airport, motorway access to Paris and Northern Europe and southwards to Nantes and Southern Europe, a daily car-ferry from Roscoff to Britain, and TGV trains.

Brest is also a place of culture with its cultural and conference centre, the “Quartz”, close to the Town Hall in the city centre, which receives 200 000 visitors a year for shows, exhibitions and conferences The Quartz has also created a system of in-house productions to allow young artists to first perform their creation.

The town also has 17 libraries, 1 artothèque, 1 record lending library, 1 centre for composing music, 1 Breton centre of popular art, 1 national school of Fine Art, 7 schools of Music among which a national conservatoire, 11 permanent show halls, 5 museums, 1 8 250-m2 hall at the "Parc des Expositions" and 200 sports clubs.

The latitude of Brest and the vicinity of the Atlantic Ocean explains why the Breton climate is characterised by instability, minor temperature differences (8-10°C in Winter and 18-20°C in Summer) and quite frequent and abundant rainfalls.

QUIMPER

Situated at the confluence of the rivers Odet and Steir, Quimper (Kemper in Breton) enjoys a privileged geographical situation at the cross-road of maritime and land routes which have determined its past history.

The cultural capital of Breton Cornouaille has had a rich and disturbed past. The first traces date back to the period of the Roman occupation. In the 11th Century, the county lost its independence and was integrated into the patrimony of the Dukes of Brittany. In the fight that brought the candidates for the title of Duke during the wars of succession (14th Century), the town was completely destroyed and pilled. But, it recovered from its havoc. Its old centre with its paved streets and its old half-timbered houses were saved from all the conflicts which turned Brittany into a blood bath, and today this is part of its attraction for tourists. Its Gothic cathedral was built in the 13th Century, and rehabilitated under Napoleon III thank to a public appeal launched by the Bishop.

Among the other treasures of the town, the Quimper-made potteries are still maintaining the fame of the town on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.

Being the administrative centre of Finistère, the former capital of the county of Cornouaille situated on the Odet at 551 km from Paris, Quimper has today a population of 63 000.

THE UNIVERSITY OF WESTERN BRITTANY (UBO)

https://www.univ-brest.fr

At the heart of Westem Brittany, the university was created on the 17th of December 1970 after more than a decade of effort, is today a multi-disciplinary university comprising 17 000 students, 990 researchers and academic staff and 605 administrative staff on its two campuses in Brest and Quimper.

Its strength comes from its atypical location at the most extreme point of Brittany. Traditions warrant its dynamism.

For example, one should notice the ability of Brittany to educate and produce teachers or even the opportunity of securing research teams in fields such as maritime studies, agribusiness, Breton and Celtic culture.....

The various education centres like the Naval Academy, the Engineer school in Arms Technologies (ENSIETA), the Engineer school of Brest (ENIB), the Engineer School in Telecommunications (Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications de Bretagne or ENSTBr), the Business school of Brest, the French Research Institute for the Exploitation of the Sea (IFREMER) and the Research Centres of Roscoff and Concarneau with which the University of Western Brittany has created close links have open the way to new opportunity.

FACULTY OF MEDICINE AND HEALTH SCIENCES - BREST

Past History

Brest has been known for long as a place with a strong tradition of medical practice and education: indeed, nearly three centuries ago the town housed the School of Naval Surgeons. The teaching policy implemented in this school through its integration into the Marine Hospital that supported it foreshadowed the to-day University Teaching Hospitals (CHU). Nowadays, the Army Teaching Hospital (Hôpital d'Instructions des Armées) and the Faculty of Medicine are both the heirs of this medical tradition at Brest.

The Faculty of Medicine was established in October 1966. In connection with the Regional Hospital of Brest (CHR), in 1971 it constituted a University Teaching Hospital (CHU) linked by convention to the Hôpital d'Instructions des Armées (Hôpital Clermont Tonnerre) and the civil hospitals of Brest health area corresponding to Western Brittany.

The Faculty of Medicine

The Faculty of Medicine is located in Brest city centre in one of the University areas. It is close to Hospital Morvan, which is an integral part of the University Teaching Hospital (CHU), comprising Hospital Cavale Blanche and Hospital de Bohars, in charge of i) Health Care for the surrounding population, ii) medical learning and teaching iii) carrying out fundamental and clinical research works in perfect collaboration with the Faculty of Medicine.

https://www.univ-brest.fr/medecine/

The Dental Faculty

The UFR Odontology... a high level clinical teaching.

The UFR Odontologie of Brest was created in 1978 and comes to reinforce the pole "health" of the UBO.

The UFR has a manpower of a hundred students. It currently counts two professors of the universities, eight lecturers and ten assistants. The formation is entitled to deliver the diploma of state of doctor of dental surgery after six years of studies distributed on three cycles.

The Center of Consultation and Dental Treatments (CCTD) where is carried out the clinical formation is located in the vicinity immediate. Its situation within the hospital supports the relationships to the various wards and thus contributes to a rich clinical teaching.

Research is primarily biomedical:

  • The study of the muscles masticateurs, dysfonction crânio-mandibulaire, parodonte and occlusion, ontogenèse of occlusion. These research topics require material specific installed to the center of dental care of the CHU Morvan and the collaboration of various wards (functional explorations, service of medical radio-imagery).
  • The study of the alcoholic disease on cancers of the oesophage in collaboration with the laboratory of biochemistry and nutrition of the UFR Medicine.

Alain Zerilli, Dean of the UFR Odontology

School of Midwives

The School of Midwife, created in June 2002, has the characteristic of acter by its convention of creation a close cooperation between the CHU of BREST and the UFR of Medicine and Sciences of Health (University of Brittany Occidentale).

After admission, at the end of the PCEM1, the students midwives have a formation organized in two phases two years each one which comprise theoretical lesson, practical and clinical.

The diploma of State of midwife is a diploma of the Higher education delivered by the University bound by convention with the School of Midwife.

Fundamental research; five teams of the Faculty of medicine have been accredited by DGRT within the scope of the 2004-2007 four-year scheme.

CR 49: Autism, early schizophrenia: continuities and discontinuities in private clinic and psychopathology (Pr Alain Lazartigues).

U650/EA 2218: Medical Information Processing Laboratory (Pr Roux, Lefèvre).

U613/EA 2653: Constitutional Somatic Genetics; Gene Transfer (Pr Claude Férec).

EA 948: Metabolism and biological role of oxylipids (Laurent Corcos).

EA 3879: Unit of Compared Physiology and Intégrative (Philippe Sébert).

EA 3878: Study group for thrombosis of western Brittany (Pr Dominique Mottier).

EA 2216: Immunology and pathology (Pr Pierre Youinou).

In 1995 these teams were pooled in an institute for the synergy of health sciences (Institut de Synergie des Sciences de la Santé, I3S). Since this date, the University of Western Brittany (UBO) has been linked by a convention agreed with the University Teaching Hospital (CHU), the Engineer School in Telecommunications (Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications de Bretagne or ENSTBr), and the Western Brittany blood transfusion centre (Etablissement de Transfusion Sanguine de Bretagne Occidentale or ETSBO). This multi-disciplinary institute federates research teams willing to pool their know-how and means to carry out researches at the interface of Life Sciences, Health and Information Technology.

The School of Midwives; midwives students have passed the PCEM competitive examination and are trained in the University teaching hospital part of the University Teaching Hospital during 4 years.

VI - Description of Teaching and Assessment Methods

Teaching Methods

Most of the pre-clinical and clinical courses are in the form of lectures; tutorial sessions and clinical training periods in hospital.

However, the traditional medical school curriculum has been restructured over the last four years through a scheme set up in collaboration with the University of Sherbrooke (Canada) to introduce problem-based learning with the aim of developing clinical reasoning while organising new knowledges around Health problems met by the future doctors. It also focused on how prepare medical students to maintain their knowledge at a good level during their occupational life by developing self-learning.

About a third of the teaching staff applies this way of teaching and start it on the first year of the Medical Cycle (DCEM1): thus, once to twice a week, 8 to 10 students meet one of their tutors to appraise the knowledge acquired from the study of a given problem in order to be capable of solving it later. This is the reason why the overall number of teaching hours at the Faculty has been reduced in the last years.

Assessment

Assessment is made through written tests; two exam sessions are held and may take place at the end of a four-month period.

Written tests are graded between 0 and 20, then, a specific coefficient is allotted to each of them. Any mark below 6/20 is a disqualifying result.

Clinical Training Periods

A report book dealing with the clinical training periods carried out in different units of the University Teaching Hospital is given to each medical student. It details and develops the different points of focus. In each unit the tutor responsible for these students during these periods has to appraise their clinical work. On advice of the Head of the unit where the student was attached, the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine validates the clinical training period. In the event of a fail, the student must carry out an additional clinical training period over May-September period of the same academic year. Whenever all the clinical training periods or only a part of them are not validated, the student must repeat his/her year and carry out again all the clinical training periods.

H - Course Structure

Once the baccalaureat (secondary school leaving certificate) has been obtained, the French Medical syllabus takes at least 9 years. It falls into three main cycles briefly described in the following chart and detailed in the second part of this document.

Two-year Pre-Medical Cycle (PCEM)

Four-year Medical Cycle (DCEM) split into two main parts:

DCEM1 (one academic year): the subjects taught are Bioclinics, Immunology, Forensic medicine and right of health, occupational medicine, module Cardiology-Pneumology, Cardiovascular physiology, Renal physiology, ....; this course also contains a 400-hour introduction to clinical training.

A 3-year period split into DCEM2, DCEM3 and DCEM4 consisting in 2 to 3-month clinical training periods in the University Teaching Hospital. Focus is placed on education in Pathology and Therapeutics. This part of the medical cycle is being reformed since 2001.

The student must get the Certificate of Clinical and Therapeutic Synthesis to be allowed to enter the last cycle of medical syllabus.

Examination: for the validation of the Undergraduate studies, delivered by a local jury, with an outside personality.

Final Medical Cycle (TCEM): it takes 36 months to 5 years.

Either medical students follow a 36-month training to General Practice through Residency consisting of 3-year of practice in a hospital including 6-month at the University Teaching Hospital plus 6-month training period in a GP’s office. To earn the title of MD (Doctor of Medicine) the student must be graduated from medical school through the validation of his/her residency period and have defended his/her thesis.

Or medical students can prepare a Certificate of Completion in Specialised Training in Medical- or Surgical-specialities, Occupational Medicine, Public Health, Psychiatry and Biology through speciality internship to which they can get access once they have passed a national competitive examination. The intern (house-doctor) is educated and trained in a University Teaching Hospital for 4 to 5 years, then earns the grade of MD (Doctor of Medicine) once his/her thesis has been defended and a Certificate of Specialised Training in a given speciality further to the validation of his/her specialised education.

Continuing education :

In collaboration with the Faculty of Medicine of Rennes and the “Féderation de Bretagne des Associations de Formation Médicale Continue”, the Faculty of Medicine of Brest is involved in an institution “Collège des Hautes Etudes en Médecine Générale”.

Every year the Life Sciences and Health Continuing Education Department organises several training days for GPs and Specialists.

National ranking examination for ranking and selection of the specialist course, including general practice and the different medical specialities.

EUROPEAN CREDIT TRANSFER SYSTEM

What is ECTS?

To help students to make the most from their study abroad and facilitate academic recognition, the European Community has developed a European Credit Transfer System which provides common procedures through a way of measuring and comparing learning achievements and transferring them from one university to another one.

How does ECTS work?

The European Credit Transfer System is based on mutual confidence between the different institutional partners.

So, each University Department involved in ECTS study programme has described the courses offered with the number of credits allocated to each course unit.

What are ECTS credits?

ECTS credits describe the student workload required for the completion of a full year of academic study (lectures, practical and tutorial work, seminars, private work) to pass examination.

In ECTS, 60 credits represent one year of study (in terms of workload); 30 credits are given for a semester (6 months) and 20 for a term (3 months).

ECTS credits are also allocated to practical training periods and to facultative courses which are part of the study syllabus.

These credits will be transferred from one institution to another one in the case of previous agreement between them.

ECTS students

All the students from any Department involved in this system who wish to study abroad can take part to ECTS study programme within the limits of available places.

ECTS students stay at a host university of the European Community to attend courses. They do not pay the inscription fees usually required by the host University. On the other hand, they still pay them in their own university while they are studying abroad.

The period of study abroad in the host institution is strictly limited within 3 months and one full academic year.

ECTS students will receive credits and academic recognition for the studies achieved with success in any institution involved in ECTS. Their transcript of record will allow them to transfer these academic credits from their host university to their home university in case of learning agreement between the concerned institutions without any loss of time or credits.

Registration of ECTS students

They are recruited out of the fixed quota and are register at a time other than the pre-registration periods for French students.

To apply to the Faculty of Medicine they must fulfil the following conditions:

to have been pre-selected by their home-university (enclose a letter of recommendation from their ECTS co-ordinator);

prove a good written and spoken knowledge of the French language (enclose a letter from the ECTS co-ordinator testifying that the candidate has passed a test to check his/her proficiency in French.

The candidate application must be sent to Pr Jacques MANSOURATI, ECTS co-ordinator at the Faculty of Medicine of Brest not later than:

F March 1st to attend courses and take part to the clinical training from June to September;

F June 1st to attend courses and take part to the clinical training from October to January;

F October 1st to attend courses and take part to the clinical training from February to May.

The student will have to clearly indicate what part and which validations he/she intends wants to complete.

The applicant and his/her home-university co-ordinator will be informed by the Faculty of Medicine Staff of the final decision.

If the student gives up the idea of ECTS exchange, the host-university co-ordinator will be immediately informed to make another student can take his/her place.

The candidate allowed to take part to ECTS exchange will be exempted of paying the host-university registration fees. In consequence, he/she will have to prove his/her registration for the academic year of concern in his/her home-university.

The ECTS student will hold a student card allowing him/her to be registered at the host-university library, to enjoy CROUS advantages and reductions attached to the condition of student in France, to sit examinations and get a residence permit.

A social security cover being essential, the ECTS student will bring with him/her the E111 form (or equivalent) issued by his home social security centre.

Academic tutors

Once the ECTS student has been registered, he/she will be assigned to a given place. A tutor will be in charge of him/her over his/her whole stay at Brest.

Each ECTS will have also a student tutor to help his/her integration into the various activities of the Faculty of Medicine.

Welcome of ECTS students

Two meetings are held at the Faculty of Medicine in October and February to welcome ECTS students.

One meeting is held in the Education Office at Brest during the first semester for all the students of UBO.

FINAL medical CYCLE

TCEM

SYLLABUS and VALIDATION OF THE FINAL MEDICAL CYCLE

Overall Information

The medical cycle in General Practice or Residency extends on six semesters of compulsory training leading to the award of the grade of Doctor in Medicine. It is competition to the medical students who have successfully completed both parts of the Medical Cycle examination.

This Final Medical Cycle is ruled by the decree n°97-494, in date of 16 May 1997 which modified respectively the decree n°88-321 (7 April 1988) and the decree n°97-495 (16 May 1997) about the practical training period carried out in authorised GP’s office.

Theoretical Courses

The theoretical courses deal with the syllabus defined by the General Practice Department in application of the laws in force.

It is split into five semesters in the form of round table sessions, one full day per month, focusing on a given topic and directed by one teacher.

Its syllabus is defined and stated every year by the board of teaching staff of General Practice  Department and handed out to the medical students.

These medical students are taught by the General Practice Teaching Staff of the faculty of Medicine under the responsibility of Professor JOUQUAN, Co-ordinator of this Medical Cycle, and Dr BAIL with the involvement of GPs, hospital doctors and other people working in Health field.

Attendance to seminars is compulsory; so if Resident does not attend to them he/she will have to take an oral test during which he/she will be required to solve a health problem in relation with the content of theoretical courses. He/she may be requested to achieve his/her theoretical education by taking part in the teaching activities of the following years.

The final validation of each year depends on oral and clinical tests assessed by two teachers of the General Practice Department, one of them at least being in charge of courses.

Clinical Training in Hospital

It consists of six semesters of clinical training:

Four of them must be carried out in hospitals and it is mandatory that among them 1 will performed in the University Teaching Hospital;

The last one entitled "semester of training in primary health care" must be carried out in a GP's office.

a) Clinical training periods in hospitals

It is a full-time clinical attachment with 5 weeks of annual leave taken in agreement with the Head of Unit.

The clinical training periods are assessed and validated by the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine further to the appraisal of both the Head of Unit and the Hospital Head.

In the event a clinical training period would not be validated, the Resident will have to carry out a new clinical training period or an additional period whose length and the Unit where it will be performed will be determined by the Co-ordinator of the final Medical Cycle.

bTraining in primary health care

The resident must carry out one semester of training in primary health care in one or several GP's office(s).These GPs must be acknowledged as Training Period Tutors in application of the decree 87-495.

The resident chooses GP's office(s) from a list edited by the Faculty of Medicine.

A part of this training period can be carried out in Primary Care or Prevention Units off GP's office.

An agreement is signed by the Training Period Tutor, the University Training Hospital Head of Brest and the Dean (or his representative) of the Faculty of Medicine of Brest.

At the end of training period a report is written by the Training Period Tutor(s). The resident will also write a report.

In the event the training period would not be validated by the Training Period Tutor(s), the Resident will have to perform another training period under conditions stated by the Co-ordonator of the Final Medical Cycle.

During this training period, the Resident will still be paid by the Hospital.

Medical Thesis

To be allowed to defend his/her medical thesis, the resident must have at least validated three semesters of training periods.

The resident will have his/her viva on a personal work dealing with a subject he/she has himself/herself chosen and prepared in close connection with the Chairman and other members of the Jury.
