Faculté de Médecine de Tunis

What Faculté de Médecine de Tunis does

The Faculté de Médecine de Tunis (FMT) is the oldest and largest medical school in Tunisia, founded in 1965 and operating as a public higher education institution under the Tunisian Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research and affiliated with the Université de Tunis El Manar. FMT delivers medical education across the three national cycles — PCEM (first cycle pre-clinical), DCEM (second cycle clinical), and TCEM (third cycle residency/specialty training) — and serves 6,193 students with 1,935 teaching faculty organized across 8 academic departments. The faculty also runs 91 Certificats d'Études Complémentaires (CEC) programs, Diplômes Inter-Universitaires (DIU), Master's degrees (research and professional tracks), and intensive Masterclass courses for practicing physicians under the Développement Professionnel Continu framework.

FMT's product surface includes dedicated digital platforms: the Cours en ligne e-learning system at utm.uvt.tn for online medical course delivery, Plat_Stages at stages-fmt.rnu.tn for clinical internship management, and Plat_Theses at theses.fmt.rnu.tn for thesis submission and tracking. A Bibliothèque et Médiathèque provides electronic resources and databases. Research operations are supported by laboratories, research units, an experimental medicine unit, and a centralized research platform. The faculty holds CIFA-CIDMEF international francophone accreditation (initial 2020, follow-up April 2026).

FMT's business model is primarily government-funded through the Ministry of Higher Education, with marginal commercial revenue from student tuition and continuing-education registration fees. CEC fees are 50 TND for FMT-affiliated hospital-university candidates and 221 TND for non-affiliated or foreign candidates; DIU fees are 300 TND for residents and 500 TND for non-residents. Marketing is conducted via the institutional website, Facebook, YouTube, and periodic newsletters, while student recruitment flows through the national medical admissions examination system. The faculty pursues partnerships with other medical schools (Sousse, Sidi Thabet veterinary school), regional health authorities (Région Nord-Ouest Mobile University Campus), and pan-African bodies (AWGHO) to extend its reach.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Faculté de Médecine de Sousse: Another public Tunisian medical school offering the same PCEM/DCEM/TCEM cycle structure as FMT. FMT has an active partnership with this institution for a co-diplomation professional Master in neurovascular pathologies, making it the most directly comparable peer.
• Faculté de Médecine de Sfax: One of the four public medical schools in Tunisia, offering parallel medical education programs under the same national framework. Closely comparable in mission, structure, and student services to FMT.
• Faculté de Médecine de Monastir: A public Tunisian medical school providing the same national medical curriculum cycles as FMT. Directly comparable in mission and operating model.

Emerging players

• Mohammed VI University of Health Sciences (UM6SS): A private Moroccan health sciences university offering medical education and continuing professional development. Comparable as a North African peer with a parallel mix of medical degrees and CPD programs, but with private-sector funding flexibility that FMT lacks.

Others

• African Alliance for Women's Global Health in Oncology (AWGHO): A partner organization with which FMT co-hosted the 1st Scientific Meeting on Women's Health in Oncology in May 2026. Included as an ecosystem partner rather than a competitor, representing FMT's outreach into African health networks.

Broad incumbents

• Université de Tunis El Manar: The parent university under which FMT operates, encompassing multiple faculties beyond medicine. Comparable as the broader academic ecosystem hosting FMT and providing shared administrative and research infrastructure.
• Université Paris Cité – Faculté de Santé: A major French medical faculty with strong francophone medical education credentials and international partnerships. Comparable as a francophone peer with continuing medical education and Masterclass offerings, though at a much larger scale.
• Université de Montréal – Faculté de Médecine: A large Canadian francophone medical school accredited by the same CIFA-CIDMEF network. Comparable as a francophone medical education institution with continuing professional development programs.

Regional players

• Faculté de Médecine d'Alger: Algeria's leading public medical school operating a parallel francophone medical education model. Comparable in scale and mission but serves a different national market.
• Faculté de Médecine et de Pharmacie de Casablanca: A Moroccan public medical school delivering comparable PCEM-style medical training in a neighboring francophone North African country. Relevant regional peer for cross-border student flows and francophone accreditation comparisons.
