Notions de l’AFMC sur l’approche biopsychosociale aux dépendances Cyberapprentissage sur les dépendances

L’AFMC et la Palix Foundation ont formé un partenariat pour financer et appuyer l’élaboration d’une série d’outils de cyberapprentissage sur les premières étapes du développement cérébral et biologique et les dépendances aux fins de l’éducation médicale prédoctorale. Cette série de ressources inclut des patients virtuels, des notions de base (cybermanuel) et une série de balados. Parmi les sujets couverts, on peut mentionner les concepts fondamentaux du développement dans la petite enfance.

 

En 2010, l’Association des facultés de médecine du Canada, forte d’un financement de la Palix Foundation, a procédé à une analyse contextuelle des ressources pédagogiques relatives au matériel prédoctoral.

 

Veuillez noter que ces ressources sont disponibles en anglais seulement.

Cybermanuel sur les notions

Les Notions de l’AFMC sur l’approche biopsychosociale aux dépendances mettent l’accent sur les concepts de base de l’aspect scientifique fondamental et social des dépendances, notamment les concepts-clés, le volet scientifique et la recherche. Elles traitent également de la médecine spécialisée sur les dépendances, y compris la pratique réflexive, les principes de base de la gestion clinique et les éléments des soins et des traitements de qualité.

 

Destiné aux étudiants en médecine et à leurs enseignants, ce cybermanuel sera également utile aux résidents en médecine, aux étudiants des autres professions de la santé et aux professionnels de la santé intéressés à parfaire leurs connaissances sur les dépendances. Les concepts discutés dans le cybermanuel sont liés aux objectifs de l’examen d’aptitude du Conseil médical du Canada.

 

Vous pouvez lire le cybermanuel à partir du début, ou passer au chapitre qui vous intéresse. En plus de présenter des concepts de base sur les dépendances, chaque chapitre renferme du texte supplémentaire comprenant les définitions de termes qui peuvent être nouveaux pour les lecteurs. Des encadrés réservés aux bollés ou aux passionnés, renferment du matériel qui intéressera les lecteurs dotés d’un esprit curieux ainsi que des liens vers des ressources documentaires supplémentaires. Plusieurs chapitres comprennent des études de cas ou des liens vers des patients interactifs. Nous avons inclus un glossaire de définitions pour référence rapide.

The Association of Faculties of Medicine of Canada (AFMC) developed the virtual patient cases as part of the Addiction e-Learning for Undergraduate Medical Education (UME). The virtual patients include a set of self-directed, interactive cases designed to highlight intergenerational issues related to addiction. There is a point-of-care reference tool with streetwise phrases and virtual patient cases for group based study with teaching guides. These virtual patient cases were developed by e-learning, clinician educators and addictions experts from across Canada and the United States with sponsorship from the Palix Foundation. 

À propos des notions

L’AFMC, de concert avec des éducateurs médicaux et des spécialistes des dépendances, a élaboré une série d’outils de cyberapprentissage sur les dépendances et leurs racines dans les premières étapes du développement cérébral et biologique. La série comprend des balados, 18 cas de patients virtuels et ce cybermanuel sur l’approche biopsychosociale aux dépendances.

 

Le cybermanuel a été conçu pour fournir aux étudiants en médecine du premier cycle et à leurs enseignants les ressources qui aident à constituer leurs connaissances fondamentales du domaine, notamment une nouvelle recherche qui a changé la manière dont nous envisageons les sources et les facteurs des dépendances. Tous ceux qui ont collaboré à l’élaboration de ces Notions espèrent que les apprenants et les éducateurs, en plus d’apprécier les aspects liés aux sciences fondamentales et sociales de la médecine axée sur les dépendances, trouveront également utile la section sur la pratique clinique. On y explique pourquoi tous les médecins devraient s’investir dans le domaine de la médecine axée sur les dépendances. On encourage ainsi les étudiants en médecine à lutter contre les préjugés et la stigmatisation associés aux dépendances et on leur offre les principes fondamentaux de la gestion clinique, notamment l’anamnèse, le dépistage, la détection et l’examen physique. Le cybermanuel traite des troubles concomitants et du traitement ainsi que du continuum des soins pour les personnes touchées et leurs familles. On y trouve de l’information sur les interventions pharmacologiques, le modèle de gestion de la maladie chronique et le rétablissement.

Contexte

Le portail a été créé à la suite de deux analyses contextuelles liées aux programmes d’études et aux ressources sur les dépendances dans le domaine de l’éducation médicale prédoctorale au Canada qui ont été mandatées par la Palix Foundation. Exécutées en 2009 et en 2010, ces analyses ont révélé le peu de contenu sur les dépendances dans le programme d’études. Elles ont aussi découvert l’écart entre les connaissances découlant des activités de recherche nouvelles et émergentes sur les dépendances et les programmes d’études existants.

 

Au moment de l’étude, les activités identifiées dans le cadre du programme d’études étaient souvent limitées aux dépendances associées à la consommation de substances (alcool, tabac, etc.). La formation et les renseignements sur les dépendances comportementales sont extrêmement limités, la dépendance au jeu étant plus susceptible d’être soulevée que toute autre dépendance comportementale ou liée aux processus, comme les dépendances à la nourriture, au sexe, à l’internet, aux jeux vidéos ou au travail. En outre, les procédés développementaux sous-jacents présents dans l’ontologie de la dépendance, comme les stratégies de prévention, le dépistage, le traitement exhaustif et le contrôle des cas, n’ont pas été abordés de façon importante dans les programmes d’éducation médicale prédoctorale. En conséquence, la Palix Foundation, en partenariat avec l’Association des facultés de médecine du Canada (AFMC), a lancé le projet de développement des ressources de cyberapprentissage sur les dépendances pour l’éducation médicale.

 

Les objectifs du projet consistaient à :

  • harmoniser les compétences en éducation médicale avec la recherche émergente sur le développement cérébral et biologique fondé sur l’expérience en rapport avec le développement dans la petite enfance et son impact permanent sur les dépendances;
  • appuyer les experts en la matière au Canada;
  • établir des liens entre les chercheurs, les experts en la matière et les spécialistes du cyberapprentissage dans les facultés de médecine canadiennes;
  • créer une ressource nouvelle et innovante pertinente pour les éducateurs du niveau prédoctoral et les apprenants au Canada.

Introduction

This is the first episode in a podcast series on Early Brain Development and Addiction for Undergraduate Medical Education.

 

The Neuro-Developmental Pathway Origins of Addiction is the first in a series of podcasts on early brain and biological development and its connection to addiction. As such, it introduces the themes that will be addressed throughout the series, including adverse childhood experiences; brain architecture; the neuro-developmental origins of addiction; and the prevention, intervention and treatment of addiction. The podcast provides a definition of addiction, which includes substance and process addictions, and begins to explore the impact of adverse childhood experiences on the reward system of the brain.

This podcast series is based on lectures from the Alberta Family Wellness Initiative, a knowledge mobilization initiative designed to translate scientific research into policy and practice. The podcasts were developed by the Association of Faculties of Medicine of Canada with guidance from a project advisory committee, and produced by Hugh Kellam and Colla MacDonald at the University of Ottawa. Narration was done by Hugh Kellam. This project was sponsored by the Palix Foundation.
