Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, the student knows: the pedagogical categories of health, care, lived body, professional reflexivity and accountability; the key features of communication between care professionals and patients/companions; the techniques of video analysis and analysis of social interaction in care settings.
She/he will be able to: critically reflect on the educational role of care professionals; apply autonomously the techniques of video analysis and analysis of social interaction in different educational and formative settings; critically reflect on the application of pedagogical knowledge in medical education; design autonomously a training program for care professionals.
Course contents
The course is comprised of different parts.
The first part is aimed at illustrating the key concepts of pedagogy of health and healthcare contexts such as the notions of health, care relationship, lived body (vs. biological body), professional reflexivity and accountability. Furthermore, the biomedical and biopsychosocial models of care as well as the normative model of “patient-centered care” will be critically discussed.
The second part of the course will focus on communication between healthcare professionals and patients/companions. The following core aspects of communication in healthcare contexts will be examined: the features of institutional interactions; the epistemic, deontic, and social asymmetries at play in medical visits; the doctor’s “hidden agenda”; the structure in phases and the relative institutional goals of doctors and patients. Furthermore, this part will address the crucial issue of medical education with a particular emphasis on the video-microanalysis of interactions as a powerful heuristic educational tool.
The other subsequent sections of the course will focus on: communication and interprofessionality in medical visits of unaccompanied foreign minors; communication in pediatric care; narrative medicine and the case of ICU diaries.
