FAYR-GP AND THE COLLEGE OF GENERAL MEDICINE

FAYR-GP is a member of the College of General Medicine (CMG). The Extraordinary General Assembly of December 10, 2014 voted FAYR-GP’s entry into the scientific component.

Two FAYR-GP Board members were elected in January 2014 on their own behalf to the Board of Directors of the College. It is about Tiphanie BOUCHEZ, former treasurer of FAYR-GP, installed in Alpes-Maritimes (06) and Fanny CASANOVA, former secretary general of FAYR-GP, installed in Drôme (26).

As a member of the scientific component of the CMG and through its various events, FAYR-GP is in contact with colleges and learned societies of general medicine:

The College is currently working on several themes:

General medicine and mental health
Databases in general medicine
The drug, from different angles
Weight and obesity
Cancer and general practice

For each of these axes, working groups are formed and members of FAYR-GP are invited to participate if they wish.

Fanny CASANOVA leads the mental health group for the CMG and in particular the experimentation of the charter (link to the charter) signed in March 2014 between the CMG and the presidents of CME psychiatric hospitals.

In addition, the CMG is in contact with other institutions (HAS, ANSM, InCA, Public Health France …) that regularly request it for general practitioners to participate in working committees. Here again, any FAYR-GP member may propose to participate in these commissions.
