Abstract:

Background Remedial education is crucial to help struggling students meet the complex requirements of a health sciences curriculum. For this reason, a remediation process was developed by the Centre Ostéopathique du Québec (COQ) for students enrolled in its osteopathic training program. This remedial process focuses on four axes that represent the foundations of effective clinical practice. Aims A study was conducted to describe the motives, interventions and outcomes of COQ's remediation process. Four aspects were assessed: 1) information about students who have benefited from the remediation process; 2) main reasons leading to remedial education and types of intervention used; 3) students' academic outcomes after experiencing the remediation process; and 4) students' perceived effects and satisfaction levels of the remedial program. Method Data was gathered by self-administered survey and students’ educational files were reviewed. Results Remedial education was mainly initiated in response to students' request or following students' poor outcomes to theoretical, and/or practical, and/or clinical reasoning exams. Different types of intervention were used such as solving clinical cases, knowledge organization activities, supervised clinics, palpation workshops, and broadening learning strategies. This program yielded positive outcomes both in terms of students’ academics results and learning processes. Conclusion Despite globally positive results, best-practice pedagogy needs to be further defined.
