Master's Degree in Science and Digital Technology for Health

PhyMed Presentation

A PROGRAM OFFERING MULTIDISCIPLINARY KNOWLEDGE IN THE FIELD OF PHYSICS APPLIED TO HEALTH.

Presentation and objectives

PhyMed responds to the scientific need to provide, within a single curriculum, advanced training in applied physics and basic training in biology and health in order to bridge the gap between physicists on the one hand and scientists working in the field of life sciences on the other. The goal is to train biophysicists capable of understanding medical issues by proposing solutions based on the design and application of new
al techniques derived from modern physics:

  • With a view to assisting with applications of physics in the medical field through multidisciplinary training focused on acquiring a good level of knowledge of the physical principles of medical imaging, radiophysics, and physics applied to the health sector,
  • Thus providing physicians and students in health-related fields with access to courses in physics applied to biomedicine,
  • Offer career opportunities in the fields of multidisciplinary teaching and public or industrial research in medical imaging.
  • Offer career opportunities in hospitals, the private biotechnology sector, biomedical instrumentation, or the pharmaceutical industry.

REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS

  • In M1: L3 or equivalent in physics, biology, health, and other related scientific fields,
  • In M2: M1 validated in the field, based on application,
  • The program is open to everyone, continuing education with the possibility of Validation of Acquired Experience (VAE).
  • The training program is open to interns and doctors of medicine, pharmacy, or dentistry.

Continuing education

Opportunities to pursue doctoral studies. The Montpellier laboratories associated with the program include:

  • Southern Electronics Institute (IES),
  • Charles Coulomb Laboratory (L2C),
  • Montpellier Laboratory of Computer Science, Robotics, and Microelectronics (LIRMM).
  • Movement to Health Laboratory (M2H).

Career opportunities

  • Biophysicist in the industrial, hospital, and academic sectors,
  • Medical imaging professions, Healthcare manager in the medical imaging department 
  • Biomedical engineer; development, use, and maintenance of physical instruments in the medical and hospital sector.
  • R&D engineering in industrial fields related to physics and health, instrumentation, medical devices
  • Design Engineer (imaging platforms, laboratories) 
  • Application Engineer (Technical Support)
  • Computer engineer
  • Clinical Research Associate 
  • Account Manager in Radiation Protection and Medical Physics
  • Pursuit of a university thesis with a view to accessing jobs in higher education and public research,
  • Assistance in guiding medical careers toward biophysics and imaging fields within hospital departments of radiology, nuclear medicine, and others.
