Medical Innovation: University of Health Sciences Strengthens Research Partnership with Aix-Marseille Université

Leave a Comment / Higher Education, Medical Studies / By SchoolsCambodia

PHNOM PENH, March 3, 2026 — The University of Health Sciences (UHS) continues to expand its international footprint in the field of medical research and higher education. H.E. Prof. Sapon Vadanak, Advisor to the Ministry of Health and UHS, recently hosted a courtesy meeting with Prof. Jean Gaudart, a distinguished Professor and Hospital Practitioner from Aix-Marseille Université, France.

The discussion focused on accelerating collaborative research and creating advanced academic pathways for Cambodian medical professionals.

Advancing Global Health Research

The partnership highlights the ongoing success and future expansion of several key research frameworks:

  • DEMELE-JEV & CAMPRA Projects: These specialized research initiatives focus on innovation and epidemiological study, allowing UHS to contribute to significant findings in infectious diseases and public health.
  • Knowledge Dissemination: Both universities are coordinating an upcoming Webinar at the University of Health Sciences, designed to share the latest research methodologies and findings with the broader Cambodian medical community.
  • Digital Innovation: A strong emphasis was placed on integrating digital tools and data modeling into clinical research to improve healthcare outcomes in Cambodia.

Pathways to Specialization: The DFMS Level

A critical component of the meeting was the discussion regarding the DFMS (Diplôme de Formation Médicale Spécialisée). This pathway offers Cambodian students the opportunity to:

  1. Specialized Training in France: Send qualified students to France to pursue advanced specialized medical training.
  2. Clinical Experience: Gain hands-on experience in French hospitals, bringing back high-level expertise to Cambodia’s healthcare system.
  3. Global Networking: Build lifelong professional connections with European medical practitioners and researchers.

From our perspective at Schools Cambodia, this collaboration is a major win for the future of Cambodian medicine. By bridging the gap between Phnom Penh and Marseille, UHS is ensuring that the next generation of Cambodian doctors is trained at the intersection of practical care and cutting-edge science.
