What MG FORM does

MG FORM is a French nonprofit association (association loi 1901, registered under N° 11751631175) founded in 1988 to deliver continuing medical education to general practitioners across France. Its core mission is articulated as 'formation de médecins, par des médecins et pour des médecins,' positioning it as a physician-led, peer-to-peer organization explicitly independent of pharmaceutical industry influence. The association operates from Paris (13 rue Fernand Léger, 75020) and serves its customer base through 18 regional branches covering metropolitan France, Antilles-Guyane, and La Réunion. The customer base consists almost exclusively of licensed French general practitioners — both liberal and salaried — including those in grouped practices (MSP, ESP, CPTS), replacement physicians, and medical interns.

The product portfolio is built around a multi-format training catalog of 200+ programs spanning over 25 thematic areas (emergencies, chronic diseases, women's health, pediatrics, geriatrics, oncology, dermoscopy, ultrasound, and practice management). Delivery formats include in-person sessions at hotel venues, synchronous virtual classrooms via Zoom, asynchronous e-learning modules, integrated multi-session programs (e.g., Cycle Sommeil with parts 1-7 and one-year recall), weekly Tuesday evening FAF-PM classes (Les Mardis soirs), Friday in-person Paris sessions, and the international EVAD&VOUS training-plus-travel concept. The underlying technology is a conventional learning management stack: Zoom for video, Kahoot for engagement, MailChimp for email, Calameo for content publishing, Google Analytics/Ads for web analytics, and a web-based registration system integrated with the official ANDPC mondpc.fr platform. The network is supported by 700+ affiliated trainers (250+ actively delivering), one scientific council, and 18 regional antennas.

MG FORM's revenue mechanics operate through three channels: DPC-funded programs reimbursed via ANDPC, FAF-PM-funded programs requiring proof of URSSAF contributions (with €150 indemnization for some courses), and direct self-funding by participants or employers (€180 for 1.5-hour virtual sessions, €400 for 3.5-hour half-day, €665 for full-day, up to €1,600 for 4-day international immersion). Pricing is publicly disclosed and per-participant. The organization holds Qualiopi certification, which is required for French state-funded training eligibility. Distribution is primarily self-serve via mgform.org, supported by the national ANDPC platform and 18 regional branches. In 2025, MG FORM delivered approximately 300 training sessions with 4,000+ physician participations and 300+ training files validated by funding bodies, up from 1,800+ doctors trained in 2022.

Revenue model

1. Government-funded DPC training: Training programs financed through the Développement Professionnel Continu (DPC) program administered by ANDPC. Physicians register via mondpc.fr and receive compensation within their annual DPC budget limits. EPP obligation training remains mandatory.
2. FAF-PM funded training: Training funded through the Fonds d'Assurance Formation des Professions Médicales (FAF-PM). Participants provide proof of FAF-PM contribution from URSSAF. Some programs include additional indemnification (150€ for specific courses).
3. Self-funded training: Participants or their employers cover training costs directly when not using DPC or FAF-PM funding. Cost varies by program duration and format (e.g., 400€ for 3.5h session, 665€ for full day, 1,600€ for 4-day immersion program).

Broad incumbents

• Pri-Med: Large CME provider in North America and Europe offering live meetings, online courses, and point-of-care resources for primary care physicians. Comparable audience (primary care) and multi-format CME delivery model.
• CME Outfitters: US-based accredited CME provider delivering live, online, and outcomes-based education across multiple specialties. Comparable in offering accredited, outcomes-focused CME, though operating at a different geography and scale.
• Medscape: One of the largest global online CME providers for physicians, offering free accredited continuing education across specialties. Competes directly with MG FORM's virtual and e-learning offerings through scale, brand, and free pricing.
• UpToDate: Wolters Kluwer's clinical decision support platform with embedded CME/CE credits widely used by French physicians. Competes with MG FORM as a reference and learning resource, especially for self-paced, point-of-care learning.
• BMJ Learning: British Medical Journal's accredited online CME platform covering a broad range of clinical topics. Comparable on the virtual/e-learning side and increasingly relevant in francophone and European markets.

Direct peers

• UNAFORMEC: French national union of medical continuing education associations serving physicians. Closest structural peer to MG FORM in terms of DPC/EPP mission and association-based model, though operating as an umbrella rather than a direct training provider.
• SFMG (Société Française de Médecine Générale): National learned society for French general practitioners that also delivers CME, EPP, and training programs. Comparable GP-focused audience and DPC-integrated training activities, differentiated by its society vs. association governance.
• Prescrire: Independent French organization producing evidence-based medicine content and accredited CME programs for healthcare professionals. Comparable pharma-independent positioning and DPC-eligible training portfolio aimed at French physicians.

Emerging players

• DocCheck: European healthcare professional community and medical education platform with strong presence in German-speaking markets. Emerging competitor in continental European CME and physician networking, with overlap in European markets.
• Doximity: US physician network with expanding CME, news, and clinical education features. Increasingly adjacent as a peer-learning and CME destination for physicians, primarily in North America but with growing international reach.
