Résumé
Contexte : La responsabilité sociale (RS) prend une place importante dans les exigences d’accréditation des programmes d’études des facultés de médecine. Nous avons analysé l’évolution de la RS dans le programme de doctorat en médecine de l’Université de Sherbrooke depuis la mise en place de la délocalisation complète de la formation médicale dans deux sites distants.
Méthodologie et objectifs : Par le biais d’une approche qualitative séquentielle ancrée dans le cadre conceptuel de Boelen, nous avons effectué une analyse documentaire des plans stratégiques et des documents d’agrément entre 2005 et 2023 pour identifier les actions en matière de RS du programme de doctorat en médecine et générer un premier document sous forme de narratif et ligne de temps. Suite à trois entrevues individuelles et trois groupes de discussions avec des acteurs clés de chaque site de formation, nous avons élaboré un portrait final de la RS avec sa ligne du temps.
Résultats : Le portrait décrit comment la Faculté et son programme de doctorat en médecine ont planifié leur engagement en lien avec les besoins de santé de la population (conceptualisation), ont mis en œuvre des actions pour répondre à ces besoins (production) et ont vérifié que ces actions « ont eu le plus grand impact possible sur la santé des personnes » (utilisabilité). Cette approche a permis de démontrer le temps requis pour observer une augmentation des actions en lien avec l’utilisabilité.
Conclusions : Cette étude a permis d’identifier le travail accompli depuis 2005 en faisant émerger les forces et les défis. Cette compréhension du chemin parcouru sera partagée avec les partenaires afin d’identifier les prochaines actions selon les besoins en santé des communautés desservies. Cette approche et les constats qui en découlent pourraient inspirer d’autres facultés de médecine à faire une analyse de leurs actions en responsabilité sociale.
Abstract
Background: Social accountability (SA) takes an important place in the accreditation requirements of Faculties of Medicine. We analyzed the evolution of SA in the undergraduate medical program at the University of Sherbrooke since the implementation of a complete curriculum in two distributed medical campuses.
Methods: Using a qualitative and sequential research design anchored in Boelen's conceptual framework, we conducted a document analysis of strategic plans and accreditation documents between the years 2006-2023 to identify the SA actions of the medical program and generate an initial narrative with a timeline. Following three interviews and three focus groups with key actors at each campus, we developed a final portrayal of SA with a timeline.
Results: The portrayal describes the way in which the faculty and its medical program planned their commitment in line with the identified health needs of the population (conceptualization), implemented actions to meet these needs (production) and verified that these actions “have had the greatest possible impact on people’s health” (usability). This approach demonstrates the time required to observe an increase in actions related to usability.
Conclusions: This study made it possible to identify the work accomplished since 2005 by highlighting the strengths and challenges. This understanding of the road traveled, and the challenges encountered, will be shared with partners to identify further actions in response to the health needs of communities served. This approach and the resulting findings may serve as a source of information for other faculties of medicine interested in undertaking an analysis of their social accountability actions.
