The 'Capacité de médecine' is a national diploma offered by the Faculty of Medicine, Midwifery, and Health Sciences at the University of Strasbourg. This program is designed for qualified doctors (general practitioners or specialists), whether French or international, who wish to acquire additional competencies or broaden their scope of practice. While not conferring the title of specialist recognised by the French Order of Physicians, these capacities are acknowledged by the order as titles demonstrating further expertise to patients. The program is subject to official authorisation from the Ministry of Higher Education, with the University of Strasbourg holding this accreditation for a four-year period.
For some capacities, a preliminary examination may be required before registration. The details of such examinations are outlined within the specific program descriptions. All registrations require a signed authorisation from the pedagogical coordinator of the formation.
University fees are detailed on the University of Strasbourg's registration page.
National diploma, subject to habilitation by the Ministry of Higher Education.
