An innovative online course in environmental health
The University of Montpellier, with the support and funding from the Occitanie Regional Health Agency, is launching an innovative project in the field of environmental health education: the creation of a small private online course (SPOC) dedicated to environmental health for primary care.
This project falls under Priority 1, “Informing, Training, and Educating on Health and the Environment,” of the Occitanie Regional Health and Environment Plan (PRSE4 Occitanie 2023–2028). This SPOC, short for Small Private Online Course, is a type of MOOC designed for a specific audience, aimed at providing professionals, local authorities, and citizens with the knowledge and skills they need to take action on environmental and health issues.
Currently in development since July 2024 in collaboration with the Hérault CPAM and the University Department of General Practice (DUMG), this Spoc will be a hybrid training program combining online modules and in-person sessions. Available starting in early 2026, it is primarily intended for coordinators of coordinated healthcare facilities (regional professional healthcare communities / multi-professional health centers), as well as students in the relevant programs.
