Master of Re-education and Medical Engineering (M1 and M2) – (M.Sc.)

Contents

The M1 is organized around two programs: Re-education, Re-adaptation and Rehabilitation (3R) and Medical Engineering (IM).

The "Re-education, Re-adaptation and Rehabilitation" program (3R)

This program is aimed primarily at health professionals who are reorienting towards the development, consulting, management and applied research professions in the fields of re-education, re-adaptation and rehabilitation, with a desire to move closer to the fundamental and clinical scientific fields.

The course trains students to assimilate and develop knowledge generated by the practice of re-education, re-adaptation and rehabilitation. These practices, at all stages of life and at all levels of integration (from systems to the subject), aim to optimize available and latent physical capacities and attenuate persistent physical difficulties in individuals.

The M1 papers constitute a refresher course in the necessary disciplines so that students can understand the different fields of the major and its four M2 specializations.

The "Medical Engineering" program (IM)

This program accepts Bachelor of Science graduates or equivalent in life or health sciences (candidates from the medical and pharmaceutical streams having completed three years of study). It is also open to professionals who wish to consolidate or acquire skills which supplement their professional experience.

The IM meets the societal demand associated with the increase in life expectancy that will lead to a significant increase in health expenditures and a significant burden to society and individuals. One measure which will help overcome these difficulties is to increase prevention, security and assistance to individuals, which opens new horizons in the industrial sector.

The aim is to make the medical disciplines and engineering converge, giving students a double expertise and the possibility to contribute to the development of the medical technology of the future.

Recent developments in scientific knowledge in the micro- and nanotechnology fields, the dissemination of information and communication technology throughout Europe and the increase in high-performance instrumentation for medical activities all affect health professionals. The implementation of new diagnostic techniques, combined with the set up of computerized personal medical files, enable exchanges within a service or a network which promote the sharing of knowledge between various health professions, and increase the speed and safety of patient care

ORGANIZATION OF THE M2:
The third semester (M2S3) is provides a more thorough examination of the specialization. After general papers in M1, in their second year students reinforce their expertise in several sectors of re-education, re-adaptation, rehabilitation or medical engineering. Over and above this theoretical knowledge, students will develop practical expertise in collaboration with a hospital, a company or an institution. This internship leads to the production of concrete technological results and a dissertation to be defended before a panel of teaching staff and health professionals.

With the M2 specializations, students gain and develop more advanced notions in the most up-to-date disciplinary fields: clinical research in re-education (RCE); professional training in re-education (DPR); prevention/education in re-education (PER); medical engineering (IM). This degree also prepares students for doctoral research in the corresponding fields.
