URPS - Médecins Libéraux d'Occitanie

What URPS - Médecins Libéraux d'Occitanie does

URPS Médecins Libéraux d'Occitanie is a regional professional union (Union Régionale des Professionnels de Santé) established in its current form in October 2016 following the merger of the former Midi-Pyrénées and Languedoc-Roussillons regional unions. It holds a statutory mandate to represent more than 12,000 liberal (independent) physicians, including general practitioners and specialists, across the 13 departments of the Occitanie region in southern France. The organization contributes to organizing the regional health offer, analyzing healthcare needs and care supply, and preparing and implementing the Projet Régional de Santé (PRS) in coordination with ARS Occitanie, Assurance Maladie, and other institutional partners. Its leadership includes President Jean-Christophe Calmes and Secretary General Dr. Laurence Safont.

The organization's core deliverable is the Méd'In Occ platform (med-in-occ.org), a non-commercial support platform built by and for liberal physicians, offering practical fact sheets, territory analyses, management advice, and nearly 80 podcasts covering practice management and professional transitions. Supplementary tools include the Cartographie de l'accès aux soins (an interactive healthcare access mapping tool covering 13 departments and 13 indicators sourced from Assurance Maladie data), the DROP (Drive Ressources OPérationnelles) document repository, the physician directory (Annuaire des médecins), and thematic programs such as DALIA (innovative ambulatory care access), Cabinet écoresponsable (eco-responsible practice), and Forfait structure (financial aid information). Communication channels include a monthly newsletter (La Lettre du Président, 100+ issues), LinkedIn, YouTube, and in-person seminars.

URPS operates as a non-profit funded by statutory professional contributions from liberal physicians rather than commercial revenue. With approximately 15 employees distributed across a Montpellier headquarters and a Toulouse regional antenna, the organization maintains low operational overhead relative to its representational scope. There are no disclosed funding rounds, no external shareholders, and no parent company; governance rests with elected physician representatives. Revenue and financial details are not publicly disclosed.
