Résumé

Contexte : Alors que les diplômés internationaux en médecine immigrants (DIMI) contribuent de manière significative à la main-d'œuvre médicale en Amérique du Nord, des travaux ont mis en évidence le fait que des défis socioculturels peuvent de manières diverses entraver leur réussite. Les processus complexes par lesquels les DIMI réussissent à affronter les défis socioculturels sont peu compris sur le plan conceptuel. Pour combler cette importante lacune, la présente étude a exploré les façons dont les DIMI affrontent avec succès les différences socioculturelles pendant leur résidence.

Méthodes : Nous avons interrogé onze médecins résidents étrangers d'origines diverses qui suivent ou qui ont récemment suivi une formation dans le cadre d'un programme de résidence multi-sites au Canada. Nous nous sommes basés sur la théorie socioculturelle de l'apprentissage pour mieux comprendre les processus employés par les DIMI pour faire face efficacement aux défis socioculturels.

Résultats : Le récit dominant des participants est d’être aux prises avec des luttes intérieures, des émotions et des vulnérabilités, sans savoir ce que l'on attendait d'eux, une leçon d’humilité. Les thèmes principaux qui en ressortent et qui résument la manière dont les DIMI conceptualisent et gèrent avec succès les défis socioculturels sont les suivants : 1) réussir les transitions ; 2) résister ou revoir des éléments des normes socioculturelles qu’ils respectaient par le passé tout en adoptant de nouvelles normes; 3) participer à la vie de la collectivité et avoir des réseaux sociaux de soutien ; 4) prendre le risque de se faire entendre et de chercher activement de l'aide.

Conclusion : Comprendre les points forts et les stratégies positives employées par les DIMI pour faire face aux défis socioculturels complexes serait fort utile pour les établissements d’enseignement médical. Nos observations plaident en faveur de la mise en place d’une assistance pratique, efficace et continue dans les programmes de formation pour mieux soutenir les futurs DIMI confrontés à des défis socioculturels.
