{"title":"Canadian medical student knowledge and attitudes toward female genital mutilation","authors":"Marisa Market, Melanie Grondin, DominiqueM Boucher, Claudia Malic","doi":"10.4103/efh.efh_18_22","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4103/efh.efh_18_22","url":null,"abstract":"Background\u0000Despite female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) practices being an illegal form of gender-based violence in Canada, this practice impacts many Canadians. Lack of education and training among Canadian health-care providers has resulted in systematic barriers to care. Awareness and FGM/C-related education among Canadian health-care providers must be urgently assessed.\u0000\u0000\u0000Methods\u0000Canadian medical students were recruited to complete an anonymous survey via E-mails distributed through their schools' student organization between January and March 2021. We evaluated student understanding of FGM/C, attitudes toward medicalization and legislation, and prior clinical experience using multiple choice, Likert scale, and open-response questions.\u0000\u0000\u0000Results\u0000Respondents (n = 135) performed poorly on knowledge assessment questions (mean percent correct <50%). Only 10.4% of respondents indicated knowing how to involve appropriate authorities when necessary, and most never evaluate FGM/C in patient history (86.7%) or clinical examination (57.1%). Subgroup analysis revealed that prior education significantly improved knowledge scores and influenced students' behaviors and attitudes. About 92.2% of respondents supported the integration of FGM/C curricula in undergraduate medical education.\u0000\u0000\u0000Discussion\u0000This study reveals that Canadian medical students have a poor understanding of FGM/C and are not prepared to identify affected patients or intervene when necessary. These results provide rationale for the implementation of FGM/C-learning modules in undergraduate medicine.","PeriodicalId":46742,"journal":{"name":"Education for Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135913565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Education and training for most health-care providers to deliver nutrition care to patients have been inadequate and on the decline in the past several decades. This gap needs to be addressed by increasing the knowledge, confidence, and abilities of health-care professionals to deliver nutrition care and work as an interprofessional team for patients. Having a registered dietitian nutritionist as part of the interprofessional team can lead to better-coordinated care, using nutrition at the forefront. We describe the issues with a disparity in online nutrition-focused continuing professional development (CPD) and propose an avenue and strategy to use CPD to deliver nutrition education and training to providers, ultimately to boost interprofessional collaboration.</p>","PeriodicalId":46742,"journal":{"name":"Education for Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9862124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A task force team consisting of the district health office and the corresponding hospital implemented an interprofessional peer mentoring for improving maternal-neonatal health initiative involving various health professionals and community members.
