Professional Education in Co-occurring Disorders: Some Considerations towards Practice Development

The aims of this paper are to provide a brief overview of the types of education and training as well as a framework for co-occurring disorders courses at foundation and advanced levels. Mental health nurses encounter substance abuse problems as part of their workload and should be prepared adequately to work with individuals with the co-existence of mental health and substance abuse. However, co-occurring disorders are not often picked up by substance abuse or mental health services, indicating a need for improvement in ongoing professional development. The targeted audience for education and training in core competencies should be staff working in community mental health teams, inpatient services, assertive outreach teams, early intervention teams, crisis resolution teams, primary care, mental health services for older people, independent mental health projects, accommodation services, day care services, statutory drug and alcohol services, independent drug and alcohol service providers, and those working in hostel accommodations, housing, prison health care probation, and others in the criminal justice system. The theoretical and skills-based training will need to adopt a two-tiered approach as individuals working within mental health services will by definition need a higher emphasis on training around substance misuse and vice versa for individuals working in substance misuse services. One of the agenda items for interagency training is to challenge negative attitudes and prejudices around both mental health problems and substance misuse.     

Laparoscopy training in United States obstetric and gynecology residency programs.

OBJECTIVES: To assess laparoscopic training curriculums in US Obstetrics and Gynecology residency programs. METHODS: A list of E-mail addresses was obtained for the accredited Obstetrics and Gynecology residency programs in the US from the CREOG Directory of Obstetric-Gynecologic Residency Programs and Directors. An E-mail survey containing 8 questions regarding laparoscopy training was sent to all residency directors with current E-mail addresses. RESULTS: Seventy-four residency directors responded to the survey for a response rate of 41%. Residency programs from all sections of the US were included in the study. Results of the survey indicate that 69% of residency programs had implemented a formal laparoscopy training program. At least half of the program directors surveyed stated that lack of faculty time and funds were the main barriers to laparoscopic surgery training. Seventy-two percent of those surveyed thought that in the future the health-care industry would demand proof of competency in laparoscopy as standard of care. CONCLUSIONS: Most US Obstetrics and Gynecology residency programs have implemented a formal laparoscopy training curriculum, use more than one method to train their residents, and involve almost half of their faculty on average in training residents to perform laparoscopic surgery.

The workload of trainees in general practice

During their first training period in general practice the authors felt that they did not encounter the balanced workload which is the foundation for learning to be a GP. Previous studies confirmed the existence of differences in overall and specific workload between trainees and trainers. From their own experience and from the relevant literature they addressed several factors which might affect the workload of trainees. A study was undertaken to determine differences in workload between trainees and trainers, and to investigate whether certain characteristics of practice and of trainees affect the workload of trainees. Details of surgery consultations with 34 trainee-trainer partnerships were recorded in the north of the Netherlands over 2 weeks. Questionnaires were filled in by trainers, trainees and practice assistants from these 34 general practices. The total number of contacts recorded was 10,103. It was found that trainees see fewer elderly and female patients, less chronic and oncological conditions, but more minor illnesses. They see only 30% of patients with problem behaviour. Factors that influence the trainees' workload, as compared to their trainers' are: list size; selection in the allocation of patients; trainee's experience prior to starting the training stage, and the trainee's sex. Except for problem behaviour, trainees generally see a cross-section of their trainer's practice population. Selection would provide a more balanced workload for trainees.
