Collaborating with Families: Exploring Family Member and Health Care Provider Perspectives on Engaging Families Within Medical Education

摘要

Objective With 40 to 65% of mental health patients being cared for by family members, nearly 500,000 Canadians are serving as caregivers. Yet family members are often excluded from daily clinical interactions and the development of mental health continuing medical education (CME). This qualitative study aimed to understand how best to involve families in mental health CME and how to advance their meaningful and equitable engagement in such initiatives.
