The advancement of health education requires specific training. Despite legal requirements, initial training in health education for healthcare professionals receives little attention in France. Following a pilot phase, a national survey exploring HE instruction was conducted by telephone in 2005. It covered 527 initial training institutions across ten healthcare professions (dietitians, pediatric nurses, midwives, physicians, pharmacists, dentists, healthcare administrators, physical therapists, podiatrists, and nurses). Of these, 79% responded, and 60% offer specific PE courses. The main teaching methods they use are lectures (93%) and tutorials (78%). These courses, which are most often graded (70%), primarily address issues in physical education (96%) and health determinants (91%). Factors that promote the implementation of physical education courses include their inclusion in the official curriculum (49%) and the fact that they fall within the scope of healthcare professionals’ responsibilities (26%). Two major constraints limit their expansion: overloaded curricula (75%) and a lack of teacher training (49%). The results of this survey provide guidance for the development of PE training and can serve as a reference for evaluation purposes.
