Area of Science:

Health Professions Education
Patient-Centred Care

Background:

Patients with chronic conditions possess unique expertise valuable for interprofessional education.
Current patient involvement in educational design and delivery is minimal.
A theoretical model for patient-centred learning involving patients and students exists but lacks practical implementation.

Purpose of the Study:

To identify challenges and outcomes associated with creating an educational intervention designed and delivered by patients.
To evaluate the feasibility and impact of patient-led educational initiatives.

Main Methods:

An advisory group guided the development of interprofessional workshops.
Community educators (CEs) with lived experience were recruited.
Workshops were planned by diverse stakeholders and delivered by CEs, with evaluation via student questionnaires.

Main Results:

Workshops were delivered by CEs experienced in epilepsy, arthritis, HIV/AIDS, and mental health conditions.
CEs maintained control over planning and delivery, with identified roles and responsibilities.
Ten workshops were highly rated by 142 students from 15 disciplines, closely aligning objectives and learning with patient-centredness.

Conclusions:

The study demonstrates the feasibility of an educational intervention led by patient educators.
Faculty facilitation, without direct control, is effective in supporting patient-led education.
This approach positively impacts patient-centred learning in health professions education.
