First French-speaking interprofessional training course: "SUSTAINING PATIENT ADHERENCE TO TREATMENT".

This training, supported by the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region and ESPACOMP (International Society for Drug Adherence), is the result of collaboration between the RESHAPE laboratory (INSERM-UCBL U1290) and the Universities of Geneva and Lausanne.

This training course is led by research professors from Lyon: Teddy NOVAIS, pharmacist and researcher, Doctor of Public Health, and Marie Viprey, pharmacist, Doctor of Public Health.

• Seminar/summer school, 3 days of 7 hours: basic training in motivational interviewing applied to therapeutic adherence, with the participation of patient partners for the training;
