Type of Diploma

DU DiplŰme d'Universitť Santť

Presentation of the Formation

This DU is a means of teaching good practice recommendations, disseminating supports edited by the French Society of Vascular Medicine and the Cicat Occitanie network, and setting up a regional network of medical and paramedical teams (public and liberal) trained in wound healing and lymphology.

Knowledge

• Identify the different aspects of vascular ulcers, allowing for targeting their etiology and therapeutic actions.
• Identify the different aspects of other trophic disorders, escarres, diabetic foot ulcers, allowing for targeting their etiology and therapeutic actions.
• Identify the different aspects of lymphatic pathology, their etiologies, clinical situations of primary or secondary affections affecting the lymphatic system, and targeting therapeutic actions.
• Know the physiopathological mechanism of lymphatic and venous insufficiency and its treatment, and target therapeutic actions.
• Identify the different aspects of edema, their etiologies, clinical situations of primary or secondary affections affecting the lymphatic system, and target therapeutic actions, particularly compression by bands.
• Ensure the acquisition of a theoretical basis through a common core that allows validating knowledge in each module.
• Identify risk situations, set up or direct standardized care protocols, and practice network care activities.
• Sensitize caregivers to therapeutic education in wound healing and lymphology: prevention actions, educational messages, patient empowerment.

Modalities

Pedagogical Methods and Means Used

The pedagogical methods aim at acquiring practical professional expertise. During theoretical teachings, a large place is given to clinical presentations and exchanges with participants. Theoretical teachings consist of three parts: essential theoretical-clinical information, illustration by one or several clinical situations, and open discussion with participants during workshops. During each course, one of the DU coordinators is present and plays the role of discussant and animator of the session, also making the link between the different sessions. Courses and targeted bibliographic references are accessible on a dedicated internet site, updated by teachers and the coordinator. This site allows for interactive exchange between students and teachers. The practical part is one of the strengths of the training, with a deep involvement of trainees in patient care. They also participate in multidisciplinary discussions of complex case files and vascular exploration consultations. Clinical cases are carried out in e-learning and face-to-face.
