Montpellier Association of Midwifery Students (AMESF)
Content Type: Page
Activities and Objectives of the Association
The Montpellier Association of Midwifery Students (AMESF) aims to support all midwifery students in the Department of Midwifery at Montpellier throughout their five years of study.
This support includes academic assistance, notably through informational booklets distributed at the start of the academic year for students in their second and third years of undergraduate studies (L2 and L3) and first and second years of graduate studies (M1 and M2), the provision of printed course materials, the compilation of past exam questions, and the purchase of internship supplies at reduced prices.
The association is also committed to advocating for and representing midwifery students, whether at the local level through the AGEM (General Association of Montpellier Students) or at the national level through the ANESF (National Association of Midwifery Students).
AMESF also addresses civic and community issues, which is why it participates, among other things, in events such as Pink October, the Telethon, Sidaction, the Hôpital des Nounours, and Montpellier Reine. This year, it is once again organizing a concert to benefit the “Naître en Rose” association.
The association offers two services to its members:
SOS Nounou, which connects midwifery students with parents looking for childcare;
the sale of fruit and vegetable baskets from a local producer.
Finally, it offers activities that are both fun and community-building, such as wellness workshops, inter-class meals, and the traditional end-of-year gala. Despite the current health crisis, the association strives to stay in touch with its members as much as possible through social media and by organizing remote events (a virtual library for studying together, game workshops, workshops for exchanging and sharing internship experiences, book sharing, sophrology, yoga, and awareness-raising through Facebook and Instagram posts, etc.).

Crocodiles of the World
Content Type: Page
Activities and Objectives of the Association
Founded in 2007, “Crocos du monde” is an association of health sciences students at the Nîmes School of Medicine. Its goal is to enable students to get involved in humanitarian work—each in their own way—and to raise awareness of global inequalities.
At the local level, the association participates in initiatives with the Nîmes Red Cross:
outreach patrols;
activities in nursing homes;
Restos du Cœur: food drives;
awareness-raising initiatives at the School of Medicine.
The association also carries out international solidarity projects focused on health and education, made possible by fundraisers held throughout the academic year. Numerous initiatives have already been carried out, with projects implemented in several countries such as Cameroon, Burkina Faso, Morocco, Togo, and, this year, Benin.
Committed to environmental protection, the association is dedicated to sustainable development: it has partnered with the company “Dans ma Culotte” to sell period underwear and with the recycling center at the Nîmes University Hospital to raise students’ awareness of environmental issues.
Med’ley Montpellier Association
Content Type: Page
Who are we?
Med'ley is the music association for health sciences students. It brings together students in medicine, pharmacy, midwifery, dentistry, and physical therapy. Its goals are:
to enrich cultural life within the health sciences faculties by organizing musical events and parties: blind tests, theme nights, jam sessions, concerts, and more;
to facilitate the creation of new charitable events within the health sciences faculties (such as the Jardin des Plantes charity concert and concerts in pediatric wards);
to perform on stage, which builds self-confidence and public speaking skills—essential qualities for the students’ future careers.
Our Facilities
Med’ley has a rehearsal space located in the Historic Building of the Faculty of Medicine. Members are free to come here to rehearse for events, learn an instrument through Med’ley’s tutoring sessions, or simply enjoy a friendly get-together with fellow musicians. Because this space is used regularly, partners whose posters are displayed there benefit from visibility among all members of the association.
Our Events
Karaoke and Blind Test NightsTo offer its members an ever-wider variety of events, Med’ley is pleased to organize musical evenings in various formats, such as karaoke and blind tests, which will delight all students and allow them to relax and have fun with music!
Concerts in Montpellier BarsWe organized our very first concert in the summer of 2018 at Le Clandestin. Since that first event, venues with stages have welcomed our member musicians for occasional music nights, often followed by an open jam session. This provides an opportunity for students from various academic programs—whether musicians or not—to come together in a less formal setting than the university, thereby fostering student life.
Concert at the HospitalIt’s also important to us to share music with everyone. To that end, we work closely with the Montpellier University Hospital (CHU) to organize concerts at the hospital.
Med’ley Music AwardsFor the past five years, we’ve also been organizing our major student singing competition, where passion and professionalism come together to create an evening dedicated to discovering the talents of tomorrow!
Charity Concert at the Jardin des Plantes in MontpellierEvery year, Med'ley organizes its end-of-year charity concert. For the past four years, we’ve been working with students in Montpellier and the “RIRE” association to put on this evening filled with emotion and music!!
At the School of Pharmacy
Med'ley was on hand at the start of this academic year to liven up the lunch break with music. Our association also participated in last year’s PharmaHuma bingo event, providing entertainment during the intermission and offering a musical interlude in a friendly atmosphere! And, once again in collaboration with PharmaHuma, Med'ley hosted the bingo event at the nursing home—a gentle tribute to our elders, filled with musical culture.
Partnerships and Collaborations
Discounts at local businesses: We partner with several local businesses, including music instrument and food retailers!
Access to free cultural events: We also offer tickets to certain musical and cultural events such as operas, concerts, and more.
Perks and Previews: Our members have access to previews of major concerts throughout France as part of their membership.

a local project, promoting oral language development through preventive initiatives targeting at-risk populations—in collaboration with the APOH.
