The university degree “Rémédiation cognitive” (Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1) first opened in 2009 and has been held every year since. It trains cognitive remediation therapists in one year.

Educational objectives:

• provide information on cognitive remediation techniques available in French and validated for schizophrenia
• teach how to use these tools as part of a comprehensive patient therapy, accompanied by a thorough evaluation
• train each participant on one of these techniques through lectures, tutorial classes and internship

Educational manager: Prof Nicolas Franck
