Clinical scope and case mix
Hands-on simulator practice in the third session; operative autonomy is not described.. The official source documents the training themes listed above; exact case numbers, independent responsibility and operative autonomy are not inferred when unpublished.
Research exposure: Not publicly confirmed in the indexed source.
Funding, fees and support
2026–2027 UPEC organisation-funded training fee: EUR 550 plus EUR 255 university registration. Other funding categories must be requested from dufmc.fc@u-pec.fr. The older UVSQ fees are for 2025–2026.
Accommodation, relocation, insurance and additional fees are not assumed when they are absent from the official source.
Source limitations and conflicting information
UVSQ directs 2026–2027 applications exclusively to UPEC. Both official pages are retained because their published contact-hour totals differ; teaching and exam dates are not application deadlines.
The session structure does not resolve the previously recorded disagreement between partner institutions about total teaching hours or fee years.
