Background:   Interprofessional education (IPE) at our institution extends outside of a typical classroom environment through an annual student-led IP health fair that benefits members of the community who might not have adequate access to health care services. During the health fair, student volunteers from different health professions programs collaborated to provide education regarding common health issues and preventative measures for conditions including hypertension,…
Background: Clinician engagement in interprofessional teams is an effective strategy to improve care delivery. The IGNITE (Improving GME-Nursing Interprofessional Team Experiences) program engages residents, nurses, and other health professionals together in performance improvement activities at our large academic institution, and has resulted in improvements in quality of care. However, the financial value of enhanced interprofessional communication is difficult to quantify. We sought to…
There is strong evidence for taking an interprofessional, team-based approach in the treatment and management of obesity. Less clear is the training received by different health professions and how well prepared teams are to provide high-quality interprofessional care in obesity treatment and management. The purpose of this study was to explore which professions make up obesity treatment teams, these healthcare professionals’ roles, training received by different team…
Background: Research shows only 30% of Americans have advance directives (ADs). The lack of ADs may create challenges for families and health care professionals (HCPs) who must make critical, medical decisions on a patient’s behalf with limited information. HCPs are particularly suited to lead advance care planning (ACP) conversations. However, inconsistent implementation of ACP material in academic curricula may contribute to HCPs’ perceptions of low self-efficacy and discomfort in leading…
Background: Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) improves patient outcomes and reduces healthcare costs. The Crimson Care Collaborative (CCC) is an interprofessional student-faculty collaborative of 7 clinics throughout Boston. Our objective was to assess change in CCC students’ IPC skills after participation in a novel interprofessional escape room.   Methods: We obtained a license agreement from the University of Minnesota to run a pilot session of their beginner…
Background: Interprofessional education (IPE) is recommended by the IOM and mandated by most accreditors to promote competencies that will enable health professional learners to become effective health care team members. In addition to required IPE activities, students may have opportunities for electives, including global health trips that provide direct medical care and healthcare education to underserved, rural populations outside the US, where teamwork may differ from the US healthcare…
Background: UNC Healthcare Rehabilitation Therapies hosts hundreds of students on an annual basis from physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, child life, rehabilitation counseling, and recreational therapy programs across the state. A primary goal of the department is to introduce these students to interprofessional collaborative practice and the importance of this practice for improving quality patient care through interprofessional practice. The purpose of the project is…
Recent updates to health care education accreditation standards and best practice guidelines suggest that health care practitioner education needs to evolve to provide meaningful interprofessional education (IPE) opportunities for students. As a university, Touro University Nevada took on this challenge using a unique and creative approach, the creation of an accessible carnival for children with developmental disabilities. This IPE experience provided future graduates with the opportunity…
We started our journey to learn about moral distress and moral injury in early 2019. Our impetus at the time was to understand the experience of community health teams who felt they were not doing all they could for their patients. We had no idea that this work would take us from our emphasis on providing strategies for care teams working with vulnerable populations to supporting healthcare providers on the frontlines of a global pandemic. Moral distress and moral injury…
The impact of introductory experiences on student attitudes about IPE has been demonstrated in a variety of institutional settings and health science professions. Typically, the effectiveness of IPE experiences has been assessed within a single cohort. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential effect of cohort on student attitudes about IPE following an online introductory IPE course delivered to different student cohorts.   At the University of Michigan, an…
