The Tourette OCD Alberta Network (TOAN) supports mental health therapists to improve the delivery of care to patients with Tourette syndrome (TS) and OCD in Alberta. We evaluated the professional development needs of health care workers to develop a continuing professional development (CPD) webinar series. Health care workers demonstrated an urgent need to access a CPD program grounded in evidenced based knowledge about TS and OCD. While 80% of health care workers treated children with TS and OCD, 50% had no formal training. A curriculum consisting of a series of twelve live, online webinars was developed and delivered between September 2020 and June 2021, covering a range of clinical topics. The webinars were attended on average by 63 attendees, with the outcome of a positive knowledge gain. In future, the educational program will need to reflect the ongoing developing clinical understanding of TS and OCD.
阿尔伯塔省图雷特氏症强迫症网络（TOAN）支持心理健康治疗师，以改善阿尔伯塔省图雷特氏症（TS）和强迫症（OCD）患者的护理。我们评估了医疗保健工作者的专业发展需求，以开发一个继续专业发展（CPD）网络研讨会系列。医疗保健工作者迫切需要获得一个以 TS 和 OCD 的循证知识为基础的 CPD 计划。虽然 80%的医疗保健工作者治疗患有 TS 和 OCD 的儿童，但其中 50%没有接受过正规培训。我们开发并在 2020 年 9 月至 2021 年 6 月之间提供了一个由 12 个在线实时网络研讨会组成的课程，涵盖了一系列临床主题。网络研讨会的平均出席人数为 63 人，参与者都获得了积极的知识增益。在未来，教育计划需要反映对 TS 和 OCD 的不断发展的临床理解。
