The fight against medical desertification continues in Eure. Eureka, the Department's attractiveness agency, has also decided to get involved.

Friday October 25, 2024, two medical interns about to finish their thesis and officially become general practitioners, boarded Jean-Mich, Eurêka's combi for this first “doct'eure roadshow”.

On the program, health visits (Saint-Marcel health home, Musse hospital in Évreux and Evreux south health home) but also a stop focused on the living environment with a visit to the Claude Foundation -Monet at Giverny.

From community to VRP

“It is important to associate the dmedical coverage with the living environment. For a year, we have been studying different possibilities for mixing work and living environment. Our role, with this visit, is to give the interns all the information about the territory so that they can discover it,” explains Capucine Dhalluin, residential and professional attractiveness project manager at Eureka.

More and more, local authorities are transforming themselves into real sales representatives for medical interns, with the aim of attracting them to their territory.

In the same way that Seine Normandie Agglomération (SNA) organizes, twice a year, a visit to the living environment with interns on internship at the Vernon hospital, Eureka aims to develop its roadshow intended for future health professionals .

The proposed format could even evolve and offer individualized visits to future doctors in the region from 2025.

Working together

An essential job, when we know that today, 19% of patients of the Saint-Marcel health living area (composed of around 9,000 inhabitants, editor's note) is found without a treating doctor. “The health center is a real tool of attractiveness and our mission today is to install two more general practitioners there,” says SNA.

At the health home, we highlight the care protocol and the comfort of the premises.

“The MSP welcomes 17 health professionals including three general practitioners and one intern. We regularly organize consultation times, like hospital staff. This allows us to really coordinate or discuss difficulties in order to obtain an outside opinion,” underlines Mathilde Menu, SISA coordinator of the MSP and trained speech therapist.

An interesting format

As for the interns, the first part of the morning meets the specifications. “It’s interesting to benefit from this type of visit because we are often released into nature after our internship,” confides Betty, who joined the Musse health center in Évreux after studying in the Paris region and appreciates to discover more of the territory.

Asked if they could imagine working at the Saint-Marcel MSP: “Why not. It’s true that many young doctors do a lot of replacements to discover the local areas,” says Alexis, who already knows Vernon a little from his maternity ward and who hopes, in the long term, to practice his profession in a rural area.
