Using the HEADSSS guide to teach students diagnostic skills in adolescent health Views from students participating in interprofessional courses.

Over the past few years, an interprofessional team of lecturers in Geneva has developed courses entitled « adolescent health and development ». These courses are open to students in medicine, nursing and nutrition, as well as to other interested health professionals. Using vignettes, students who participated in the courses present their thoughts on the use of the HEADSSS interview guide in the diagnostic approach with adolescents. These optional courses provide an opportunity to explore infrequently taught domains of the curriculum in a creative way. They give students the chance to develop common practice skills providing the basis for improved inter-professional collaborations in the future.
