- The growth of intercontinental travel, increasing life expectancy, growing number of immunodepressive syndromes and therapeutic advances (survival of premature babies, tissue transplatation, imunosuppressive treatment, … ) that keep more and more immunodepressed patients in remission, require the increased participation of parasitologists and mycologists in basic medical training (at general and consultant levels), and continuing medical education.

This training is caried out in the second and third years of medical studies (foundation, integrated and optional modules, Specialised Diploma of Parasitology and Mycology, University Diploma of Tropical medecine, University Diploma in Hospital Hygiene).

Continuing medical education :

Continuing Medical education training seminars (mycoses associated with immunodepression, biological diagnosis of mycoses, biological diagnosis of malaria, toxoplasmosis in pregnancy) are regularly oranised for private medical biologists in Montpellier, Nimes and Perpignan, with handouts and frequent individual follow-up in the laboratory.

The Parasitlogy and Mycology laboratory has eight teacher/researchers and a hospital specialist who carry out the teaching in first, second and third stage year students, both in Montpellier and Nimes.
