Hello, I am Doctor Marie-Charlotte BOURDEL, a physician at the Catholic University of Lyon. After completing a traditional course in general medicine, I decided to focus on preventive medicine<\/strong> at UCLy, where I now support students in their overall health.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Could you describe what preventive medicine is?<\/h2>

Preventive medicine is structured around three levels<\/strong>: primary, secondary, and tertiary. At UCLy, we focus primarily on primary prevention<\/strong>, which means taking action upstream to prevent the onset of diseases among students. In concrete terms, this means raising awareness of key issues affecting their daily health: sleep-wake balance<\/strong> to prevent disorders linked to lack of rest, sexual health<\/strong>, balanced diet<\/strong>, and stress management. Our goal? To give them the keys to maintaining their life balance and overall well-being.<\/p>

The Health Center encompasses other services offered to our students. Could you tell us more?<\/h2>

The UCLy Health Center brings together several complementary services dedicated to students\u2019 well-being:<\/p>

\u2022 A psychologist<\/strong> provides the Point \u00c9coute<\/a> service. They do not conduct psychotherapy but offer guidance to students facing difficulties, particularly during the sometimes challenging transition from high school to university life. This role is essential in preventing isolation or uneasiness.<\/p>

\u2022 A nurse<\/a><\/strong> is available on campus for daily consultations and to conduct health check-ups. Although not a doctor, she can assess students\u2019 health and refer them to the appropriate professionals if necessary..<\/p>

\u2022 A midwife<\/a><\/strong> offers gynecological consultations for young women \u2014 at an age when taking care of one\u2019s health is especially important.<\/p>

\u2022 A Disability Support Officer<\/a><\/strong>, a central component of the Health Center: she supports students with disabilities to promote their academic success by implementing appropriate adjustments during classes and exams. The goal? To ensure that everyone has the same opportunities for success.<\/p>

\u2022 Finally, as the university physician<\/a><\/strong>, I meet with students throughout their studies, ideally in their first year, to assess their general health (physical, psychological, social). This check-up allows me to detect any medical conditions or disabilities and refer them to the appropriate support services.<\/p>
