Issue

The challenge is to train 40 students per year (20 per course) for universities with a faculty of law and a digital sector.
This action proposes to set up at least two master's degree courses dedicated to "eHealth law". These courses, organized in blocks of skills, will be open in their entirety or in modules for professional training.

As a way to serve the digital and ecological transitions, the training of young people and employees allows us to strengthen the human capital that is essential to the functioning of our companies and, beyond that, to society as a whole. It is also the best way to offer sustainable jobs at all skill levels throughout the country.


This is also one of the major conditions for the success of the France 2030 plan: supporting the emergence of talent and accelerating the adaptation of training to the skill needs of emerging sectors and professions of the future. €2.5 billion from the France 2030 plan will be spent on human capital to achieve this ambition.


The "Skills and Professions of the Future" call for expressions of interest (the “CMA AMI”) is part of this framework and aims to meet the needs of companies in terms of training and new skills for the professions of the future. Adapting and reinforcing the training system for jobs facing labor shortages could also strengthen our ability to achieve the France 2030 objectives.

Description

Today, in the training courses offered to lawyers, two mentions can link law students to eHealth issues:

  • the "Health Law" master's degree offered by 15 institutions with an intake capacity of 500 students per year
  • the "Digital Law" program offered by 13 institutions with a capacity of 400 students per year

In neither of the two programs is there any specific teaching concerning the challenges of eHealth. There is also no certification process in place.

This action must be carried out by a higher education institution supported (or not) by a consortium that may include higher education institutions, hospitals and care structures, and digital training actors
