Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Complex problem solving
The integration of ARPc sessions within the professionalization process has specific objectives: to allow students to measure the complexity of medical action, the interest of working in a network and of using other health professionals. . At this stage of the training, the objective is also to underline the limits of medical action and the necessary management of doubt imposed by the management of complex situations.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Complex problem solving
knowledge and internships between BAC 1 and Master 2
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Complex problem solving
The students are divided into working sub-groups accompanied by a tutor from the discipline.
The ARPc begins with a "role play" type sequence during which the tutor takes the place of the patient.
During this 20-minute sequence (Sequence 1), which is usually very lively, students explore his complaints and the context in which they occur.
Sequence 2 is devoted to scenario analysis. A document containing all the anamnestic data, the results of the clinical examination and additional explorations is distributed to the students. The group is led by a volunteer student and operates autonomously. The tutor's role is intended to be limited, essentially ensuring that all the educational objectives are met in the form of formulated and listed questions.
During Sequence 3, the members of each group of students separate and divide up the task of meeting with experts empowered to answer their unanswered questions. The tutor attends, without intervening, one or the other meeting with the experts.
The objectives of the fourth sequence are to synthesize the information received and to develop avenues for the overall care of the patient, and the reconstituted groups operate autonomously. However, the tutor plays a more active role: supervision, correction of certain misunderstandings or inaccuracies during reports from meetings with experts, contribution of his expertise when a consensus is difficult to develop within the group
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Complex problem solving
Face-to-face mode. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the ARPc sessions take place remotely via Collaborate, always in small groups of students accompanied by a tutor from the discipline.
Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
Complex problem solving
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the ARPc sessions take place remotely via Collaborate, always in small groups of students accompanied by a tutor from the discipline.
Integrated therapy
All course modules are delivered remotely, using the e-campus, collaborate and wooclap teaching tools.
The resources are made available remotely via e-campus 10 to 14 days before the synchronous session. A QRM is made available to each student on this subject, on e-campus.
The day of the course itself is divided into two parts
- work in sub-groups of 10 students: analysis of clinical vignettes, communication to a tutor and answer to a QRM on each of the clinical vignettes via WOOCLAP (identification via the uliege address necessary to validate its presence).
- plenary session for debriefing in synchronous videoconference with teachers of different disciplines, via collaborate
Recommended or required readings
Complex problem solving
Some ARPc offer additional non-compulsory reading. These resources are posted on eCampus
Assessment methods and criteria
Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.
Complex problem solving
the system participates in the basic medical training of medical students and in the integrated end-of-cycle assessment.
The ARPc sessions alone are not concluded by an evaluation.
Participation in ARPc sessions is compulsory. The deliberation jury takes this into account.
Integrated therapy
Any session :
- In-person
written exam ( multiple-choice questionnaire )
- Remote
written exam ( multiple-choice questionnaire )
- If evaluation in "hybrid"
preferred in-person
Additional information:
Examination material: the resources (video clips, PPT slides, articles, addenda) made available for the 5 integrated modules (gynaeco-obstetrics, paediatrics, internal medicine 1 and 2, geriatrics) and the psychiatry module and the material discussed during the debriefing of each integrated module
The final grade, as announced at the beginning of the year:
25% related to your activities in each module: 2 points for QRMs answered remotely on e-campus (pass threshold at 70% before the module, or 90% after the module or in case of failure at the first attempt) and 3 points for attendance and completion of analysis concept maps (remotely with validation from module coordinators); 75% related to a written exam: 55 QRMs with 4 proposals covering the subjects concerned by the examination (above), on the same model as those offered throughout the year in preparation for the modules on e-campus
At the end of each module, you will be informed of your activities (QRM and presence in group work) by the provision of a summary excel file for these 2 activities, with the possibility of reacting to them; it will not be possible to return to them at a distance from the modules
A personalised message will be sent to each student so that he/she can find out, before the written exam, the points obtained via the activities carried out during the integrated modules.
Work placement(s)
Complex problem solving
the internship experience is a plus to be integrated into the reflection of the comprehensive and complex care of the patient submitted during the ARPc session.
Organizational remarks
Complex problem solving
Students must be punctual at the various stages of the ARPc. In fact, the tutors and experts who support students' learning are professionals who take time away from their function to benefit the students.
