What Graad Santé does

Graad Santé is a French private company founded in 2019 that delivers DPC-certified (Développement Professionnel Continu) continuing professional development to healthcare practitioners, enabling them to fulfill their triennial legal training obligations. The company operates an e-learning platform accessible via computer, tablet, and mobile with start-pause-resume functionality, complemented as of early 2026 by in-person conferences and seminars. Its catalog spans 100+ courses across six healthcare professions — physicians (general practitioners and specialists), pharmacists, nurses, midwives, physiotherapists, and dentists — with content developed in collaboration with a Scientific Committee of approximately 20 experts and delivered by PU-PH (Professeur des Universités – Praticien Hospitalier) professors and recognized domain specialists. Every course systematically integrates Évaluations des Pratiques Professionnelles (EPP) components, including clinical vignettes, audits, and script concordance tests, to validate DPC obligations.

The business model is anchored in the French public-finance framework administered by ANDPC (Agence Nationale du DPC). Healthcare professionals register via the ANDPC portal or through a telecounselor-assisted flow on Graad Santé's website, are automatically checked for 100% funding eligibility, and receive a compensation of €157.50 to €225 paid directly by ANDPC four-to-eight weeks after completion. Graad Santé is remunerated by ANDPC on a per-program basis, with additional revenue from premium non-DPC courses priced between €0 and €495. The company holds Qualiopi certification (numéro d'agrément: 11755942575) and is classified by ANDPC as the leading DPC training organization in France. Distribution is hybrid: a self-serve ANDPC portal integration for top-of-funnel registration, an inside-sales/telecounselor team for assisted conversion, and a direct field-sales motion for the new in-person training sessions in Paris, Lille, Marseille, Montpellier, Nantes, and internationally.

Since founding, Graad Santé has scaled to 30+ employees and delivered more than 25,000 training sessions, growing from an initial single-profession e-learning focus into a multi-profession, multi-format provider. The company is founder-controlled (Charles Sitbon, Founder and President) with a professional management team (Olivier Balme, Directeur Général; Maxime Bompard, CFO), and remains privately held with no disclosed external institutional investment, acquisition activity, or parent-company relationship in the source data.
