MA FORMATION MEDICALE

What MA FORMATION MEDICALE does

Ma Formation Médicale SAS is a French continuing education provider dedicated to healthcare professionals, founded in 2018 and headquartered in Vitry-sur-Seine, France. The company operates a Qu⁠aliopi-certified and DPC/ODPC-accredited training platform serving three core professional categories — nurses (Infirmiers, particularly liberal practice IDELs), physicians (Médecins), and physiotherapists/osteopaths (Kinés/Ostéos) — across metropolitan France. Its product surface is organized into training themes covering clinical specialties (BSI nursing assessment, wound care, acute pain management, palliative care, RAAC), therapeutic techniques (paramedical hypnosis, therapeutic communication), and applied subjects (ergonomics, smoking cessation, child protection, endometriosis), delivered in three formats: asynchronous e-learning modules with podcast episodes, in-person sessions at 39 training locations, and live virtual classrooms.

The platform is built on a WordPress-based e-learning environment hosted on OVH infrastructure, complemented by a monthly podcast (Tournée Libérale) on Spotify and Deezer, and a YouTube channel for webinar replays. Distribution relies on direct e-commerce enrollment through the company website, integration with the French government's DPC (Développement Professionnel Continu) and FIF-PL (Fonds Interprofessionnel de Formation des Praticiens Libéraux) financing systems, and a channel partnership with ITMP for kinésithérapie and ostéopathie courses. The company's revenue mechanics combine direct course fees (€300–€2,557 per course without financing, with many courses tax-deductible) and DPC/FIF-PL subsidy flows in which the provider is paid directly by the government for eligible professionals.

The business is structured as a SAS (Société par Actions Simplifiée) with €70,300 in share capital, operating with 1–10 employees and 11 trainers. Strategic partners include ITMP (channel partner for kiné/ostéo), the Ordre National des Infirmiers (nursing policy collaboration), EndoFrance (endometriosis awareness), and OVH (infrastructure). No external investors other than a 2019 Obratori funding round were identified, and Xavier Dufour serves as Directeur de publication and expert kinésithérapeute.
