Listening to Cancer Patients' Narratives During Residency: A Pilot Study on a Communication Skills' Workshop Involving Patients-Partners.

The field of cancer care still lacks best practices in communication. Few postgraduate training programs offer formal training to develop such skills. The patient partnership has been used in medical education to increase the sensitivity of the subjective experiences of patients.

Changing relationships: how does patient involvement transform professional identity? An ethnographic study.

Objectives: To understand identity tensions experienced by health professionals when patient partners join a quality improvement committee.

Design: Qualitative ethnographic study based on participatory observation.

Setting: An interdisciplinary quality improvement committee of a Canadian urban academic family medicine clinic with little previous experience in patient partnership.

Assessing and promoting partnership between patients and health-care professionals: Co-construction of the CADICEE tool for patients and their relatives.

Context: Partnership between patients and health-care professionals (HCPs) is a concept that needs a valid, practical measure to facilitate its use by patients and HCPs.

Objective: To co-construct a tool for measuring the degree of partnership between patients and HCPs.

Design: The CADICEE tool was developed in four steps: (1) generate key dimensions of patient partnership in clinical care; (2) co-construct the tool; (3) assess face and content validity from patients' and HCPs' viewpoints; and (4) assess the usability of the tool and explore its measurement performance.

Perceptions of Emergency Medicine Residents of Multisource Feedback: Different, Relevant, and Useful Information.

Study Objective: Multisource feedback is a process through which different members of the care team assess and provide feedback on residents' competencies, usually those that are less often addressed by traditional assessment methods (ie, communication, collaboration, and professionalism). Feasibility and reliability of multisource feedback have been addressed in previous research. The present study explores emergency residents' perceptions of multisource feedback provided by teaching physicians, nurses, and patients they have worked with during a rotation in an emergency department (ED).

What Do Clinical Supervisors Require to Teach Residents in Family Medicine How to Care for Seniors?

We assessed clinicians' continuing professional development (CPD) needs at family practice teaching clinics in the province of Quebec. Our mixed methodology design comprised an environmental scan of training programs at four family medicine departments, an expert panel to determine priority clinical situations for senior care, a supervisors survey to assess their perceived CPD needs, and interviews to help understand the rationale behind their needs. From the environmental scan, the expert panel selected 13 priority situations.

[Mental health in primary care: applying psychiatric knowledge to primary care or a whole different practice?].

Background: In Canada and several other countries, large cohorts of patients who used to be followed in psychiatric clinics are now steered toward primary care. To support this new reality, measures have been taken and investments made in service organization, collaborative work arrangements, and teaching geared toward primary care clinicians. However, these initiatives were implemented when little was known about GPs' needs.

[THE APPLICATION OF AN INTEGRATED MODEL OF PARTNERSHIP- PATIENT IN THE PROFESSIONALS OF THE HEALTH TRAINING: TOWARDS NEW ONE HUMANIST PARADIGM AND ETHICS OF CO-CONSTRUCTION KNOWLEDGES IN HEALTH].

This article presents the "Montreal model", offering the patient, if he wishes, to become a patient partner for all the decisions that concerns him. We are presently witnessing, presently, major transformations in western societies. Chronic diseases affect a growing proportion of the population, leading a transition from the ascendancy of acute care to an ascendancy of chronic care.

[The Montreal model: the challenges of a partnership relationship between patients and healthcare professionals].

A promising approach to improve the population's health and the quality of care and services provided by the health system consists of patient engagement at all levels of the health system together with training of health professionals. Since 2010, a new rational model based on the partnership between patients and healthcare professionals has been developed at the University of Montreal's Faculty of Medicine. This patient partnership model is based on the recognition of the patient's experiential knowledge gained from living with a disease, which is complementary to the healthcare professional's scientific knowledge.

Patients as partners: a qualitative study of patients' engagement in their health care.

To advocate for patients to be more actively involved with the healthcare services they receive, particularly patients living with chronic illness, the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Montreal and its affiliated hospitals developed the Patients as Partners concept where the patient is considered a full-fledged partner of the health care delivery team and the patient's experiential knowledge is recognized. This study aims to show how patients view their engagement with healthcare professionals regarding their direct care. Using theoretical sampling, 16 semi-structured interviews were conducted with patients with chronic illness who were familiar with the concept of Patients as Partners.

The patient-as-partner approach in health care: a conceptual framework for a necessary transition.

The prevalence of chronic diseases today calls for new ways of working with patients to manage their care. Although patient-centered approaches have contributed to significant advances in care and to treatments that more fully respect patients' preferences, values, and personal experiences, the reality is that health care professionals still hold a monopoly on the role of healer. Patients live with their conditions every day and are experts when it comes to their own experiences of illness; this expertise should be welcomed, valued, and fostered by other members of the care team.

The future of medical education: a Canadian environmental scan.

Objectives: One hundred years after the Flexner report remade medical education in North America, many countries are reviewing the purpose and organisation of medical education. In Canada, a national study is being undertaken to define important issues and challenges for the future of medical education. The objectives of this paper are to describe the process of conducting an empirical environmental scan at a national level, and to present the research findings of this scan.
