[edit] Overview
The LERTIM Laboratory is part of the Faculty of Medicine, a division of "Université de la Méditerranée" including several campuses in Marseilles and Aix-en-Provence, France. The Faculty of Medicine, the Faculty of Pharmacy, and the Faculty of Odontology are located on a common campus next to the largest teaching hospital in downtown Marseilles. LERTIM was created in 1986 by M. Fieschi.
[edit] Activities
The group is approximately 20 strong, 2 secretaries and 5 PhD students included. Some of the LERTIM members (6 in all) have two sets of responsibilities because of the way French medical schools and teaching hospitals are organized: they have teaching and research activities both in the Faculty of Medicine and the teaching hospital. Their faculty activities deal with research on medical informatics topics and fundamental aspects and their hospital activities with practical ones.

Teaching activities proceed within the framework of compulsory studies and cover University degrees within the teaching hospital and in continuing education facilities.
