Résumé
The initiative from patients suffering from cancer or having had the disease in speaking about their illness to medical students during an internship in a cancer control center of the faculty of medicine and to pharmacy students at the university of Strasbourg was implemented in 2014. This action was coordinated by the French Cancer League as part of the National French cancer plan 3. After training, ten patients teachers were able to freely and spontaneously explain their diagnostic and therapeutic journey as well as their feelings about the disease and their relationship with their oncologists in front of 187 medical students and 131 pharmacy students. A moderator, often a former cancer teacher, helped coordinate the discussions. Questionnaires were given to students, patients teachers and moderators in order to assess the merits of the action and the expected benefits at the end of the training. A second questionnaire was sent to the students six months after the interviews. The assessment was made by an independent firm. The students' responses were very favorable and this training met their expectations in almost 98% of the cases and 1/3 of the students were destabilized by this training. Patients teacher were very satisfied with their intervention and felt that they were able to convey a message. Six months later, the 30% of student respondents said that these testimonies had or could have an impact on their practices. This is the first assessment of the interest of resource patients in teaching cancer patients about medical and pharmacy students.
