The CPTS, funded to the tune of 242,000 euros per year by the CPAM, is also presented as a tool of attractiveness in the territory. “The coordinated exercise is not the solution to the problem of medical demography, but it can make a professional want to settle here because a dynamic has been created”, assures Bernard Servaud.
