Learning unit contents
This teaching unit is based on a double refelxive starting point:
1/ Every professional in human and animal health is nowadays confronted with people (patients, relatives of patients, pet owners, etc.) who carry a set of prior knowledge that is inevitably mobilized by the person being treated and therefore has an impact on the practice of medicine or paramedical activity.
2/ In the exercise of their profession, all health professionals experience interdisciplinarity by meeting other professionals whose skills, functions and uses, although complementary, are often subject to mutual disqualification.
Based on this twofold observation, the general aim of this teaching unit is to share conceptual tools and feedback with professionals in order to develop new ways of taking into account the multiple types of knowledge they encounter in the practice of their profession. In doing so, it will also tackle the issue of the status of the caregiver, which is inevitably questioned by the encounters of these multiple types of knowledge.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of this course, the participant will be able to:
1/ [historiographical and epistemological component] understand the relationships between power and knowledge: A historical introduction will allow the participants to understand how the relationships of domination between different medical knowledge, between health professions and between caregivers and patients are the result of an historical processes.
2/ [philosophical component] understand that all knowledge is situated: The concept of "situated knowledge" allows us to relate to the knowledge of others whatever the source (individual, community, private society, etc.) by developing an increased attention to the multiple experiences of the practitioners and the patients, and by questioning in a new way the conditions of legitimacy of the knowledge mobilized by these people.
3/ [communication and media component] analyzing knowledge in a non-hierarchical manner: An introduction to media education will offer health professionals a first critical but non-hierarchical analysis of the body of knowledge circulating on the Internet, as well as to the ways in which non-scholarly knowledge is developed and shared in the relationship between professional and patient.
