Abstract
Aim – to evaluate the effectiveness of the continuing professional education program “Multidisciplinary approach to managing patients with a confirmed diagnosis of 5q spinal muscular atrophy” (36 hours; hereinafter referred to as the SMA5q CPE Program) as a tool for improving the level of competence of doctors within multidisciplinary teams providing medical care to SMA5q patients.
Material and methods. The study used the materials completed by course teachers and students who had completed training under the SMA5q CPE Program. These materials included entrance control forms, final certification forms, and certification reports, which were provided by the Institute of Higher and Continuing Professional Education of the N.P. Bochkov Medical Genetic Research Center.
Results. As of January 2025, 136 students from 39 administrative entities of the Russian Federation had completed the training. During the final certification of the training program, all students demonstrated a relatively high level of competence in completing test tasks: 70-80% correct answers were given by 96 students, 81-90% by 36, 91-100% by 4. At least one control question was answered by 42 students, two by 85, and all three questions, by 9 doctors.
Conclusions. The SMA5q CPE Program has proven effective in improving the competencies of doctors who make up a multidisciplinary team. The implementation of this SMA5q CPE Program can increase the availability and effectiveness of high-cost pathogenetic therapy for patients with SMA5q.
