Introduction: Patient engagement in the training of future health professionals is on the rise, given that the information patients transmit is immensely valuable to students. In addition, their involvement, alongside health professionals, in the formulation of academic materials should improve the quality of care in the long run. Little is written about good practice in involving patients in teaching, and even less about co-teaching, which is a demanding activity.

Large-scale, mobile and technology-enhanced serious game for interprofessional education: pilot study and lessons learnt.

Recent research suggests that serious gaming is a promising strategy for interprofessional education (IPE). This report describes the design and pilot testing of a large-scale, mobile, technology-enhanced serious game embedded in the IPE curriculum in Geneva, Switzerland. Organized into teams of eight, the students were tasked with finding a young patient who had just escaped from the intensive care unit.

German translation and validation of the Interprofessional Facilitation Scale.

We identified evidence from item response theory (IRT) to examine a German translation of the Interprofessional Facilitation Scale (IPFS). The IPFS was administered to  = 130 mixed-health profession participants in a post-interprofessional education practicum questionnaire. We used IRT analyses to examine the following three aspects of the IPFS: (a) general factor strength, (b) subscale usability, and (c) item bias.

Introduction: Patient safety, quality and efficiency of care can be improved by strengthening interprofessional collaboration and patient engagement at all levels of the healthcare system. From the first year of the interprofessional collaboration training program for health students at the School of Health, the faculty of medicine and the section of pharmaceutical sciences in Geneva, patients are involved in partnership teaching.

Aim Of The Study: The study aims to assess two teaching activities, focusing on patient-caregiver in care, a conference, and workshops.

The pedagogical value of near-peer feedback in online OSCEs.

Purpose Of The Article: During the Covid-19 pandemic, formative OSCE were transformed into online OSCE, and senior students (near peers) substituted experienced clinical teachers. The aims of the study were to evaluate quality of the feedbacks given by near peers during online OSCEs and explore the experience of near-peer feedback from both learner's and near peer's perspectives.

Materials And Methods: All 2nd year medical students (n = 158) attended an online OSCE under the supervision of twelve senior medical students.

Interprofessional educators' competencies, assessment, and training - IPEcat: protocol of a global consensus study.

Contemporary practice in interprofessional education (IPE) has evolved predominantly focusing on the competencies for interprofessional collaboration (IPC) that learners must acquire. Competencies that educators need to successfully deliver IPC have been overlooked. This lack of attention is further confounded by a field replete with inconsistent terminology and standards and no global consensus on the core competencies needed for IPE facilitation.

[Method and tools for the assessment of continuing education in health].

As part of their mandates, health training institutions are regularly called to offer training programs for health professionals. Evaluating the effectiveness of these training courses is an obvious necessity and it is necessary to measure the benefits for users in their care, for professionals in their practice and for institutions in their organization. In this article, we provide a description of the training evaluation method that we have developed.

French translation and validation of the interprofessional facilitation scale for simulation.

This study aimed to translate the Interprofessional Facilitation Scale in French and validate its use for interprofessional simulation training. Experts translated the items into French and then back translated them into English. Data used for the validation were collected from interprofessional simulation trainings.

Providing equity of care for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Western Switzerland: a descriptive intervention in a University Hospital.

Background: The purpose of this article is to describe an interventional project in a University Hospital. It explains the adjustments that were made to provide good care for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities in an acute care setting in Western Switzerland. It is not the exposition of the results of a formalised research or study.

Health of undocumented migrants in primary care in Switzerland.

Background: Undocumented migrants endure adverse living conditions while facing barriers to access healthcare. Evidence is lacking regarding their healthcare needs, notably in regards to chronic diseases. Our goal was to investigate health conditions in undocumented migrants attended in primary care setting.

Auditory local bias and reduced global interference in autism.

Processing local elements of hierarchical patterns at a superior level and independently from an intact global influence is a well-established characteristic of autistic visual perception. However, whether this confirmed finding has an equivalent in the auditory modality is still unknown. To fill this gap, 18 autistics and 18 typical participants completed a melodic decision task where global and local level information can be congruent or incongruent.

Evaluating short-term and working memory in older adults: French normative data.

Short-term and working memory (WM) capacities are subject to change with ageing, both in normal older adults and in patients with degenerative or non-degenerative neurological disease. Few normative data are available for comparisons of short-term and WM capacities in the verbal, spatial and visual domains. To provide researchers and clinicians with a set of standardised tasks that assess short-term and WM using verbal and visuospatial materials, and to present normative data for that set of tasks.

Perceived eye region and the processing of fearful expressions in mild cognitive impairment patients.

Background: The aim of the present study was to assess the possibility of compensating early facial expression recognition impairments in amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment (a-MCI) patients.

Methods: Twelve patients with a-MCI and 17 healthy participants matched according to age and education participated in the study. The originality of the present study was to cue the recognition of facial expressions (happiness, anger, fear, and neutral) by comparing eye region expressions and entire facial expressions.
