CloseHealth and preventive medicine
Health and prevention are part of the student life’s quality. That is why all PSPBB students have access to health services, whether for prevention or consultation, for physical or psychological problems.
PSPBB health centre
Taking care of yourself and your health means optimising your chances of success throughout your course. The PSPBB is in the process of setting up a Health Centre, accessible to all its students.
Psychological support
A partnership has been set up with La troisième rive, an association of psychologists, to provide psychological support for PSPBB students. Since 2018, this association has been involved in higher education, including at the Paris CNSMD.
What is it about ?
Two psychologists from La troisième rive are available for sessions at their office at 1bis, rue Jean Pigeon in Charenton-le-Pont (94), on metro line 8. The setting is the same as in a private office, i.e. strictly confidential. The PSPBB does not have access to any nominative information concerning the students who attend sessions as part of this partnership.
These sessions are free of charge, paid for by the PSPBB, up to a limit of 9 sessions per year. You can make an appointment directly with the association at the following e-mail address: permpspbb@gmail.com.
No reason is illegitimate, and it’s better to seek help for nothing than to be left alone with thoughts or habits that are weighing you down.
Healthcare professionals
Since September 2023, a partnership with the Institut Médico-Sportif Préfontaine has given students access to healthcare professionals known for their expertise in traumatology related to their artistic activities.
This partnership includes an annual follow-up for each student, individual assessments for newcomers, as well as conferences and workshops for students and teaching staff.
There are two centres where you can meet healthcare professionals without having to pay in advance (third-party payer social security and medical insurance), with excess fees covered by the PSPBB (excluding complementary examinations): in Paris 16th and Saint-Germain-en-Laye: contact@prefontaine.fr | +33 (0)1 34 51 08 64
Social security
Are you enrolling in a higher education institution for the first time? In this case, you do not change your compulsory health insurance scheme (general scheme, MSA…).
You are entitled to reimbursement of your medical expenses in the event of illness or maternity. To supplement health insurance reimbursements, you can subscribe to a complementary health insurance plan. You can choose between a “mutuelle étudiante”, your parents’ “mutuelle” or any other complementary scheme.
Depending on your financial situation, you may be eligible for the complémentaire santé solidaire (C2S).
If you are supported by your partner who you’re living with and who is not a student, you must fill in the cerfa n° 15680*01 to request that you be attached to them.
If you receive an annual emergency relief, you are entitled to the C2S on a personal basis.
