Background Most universities and university colleges provide interprofessional (IP) courses for their students, and many countries have regulations requiring higher educational institutions to provide IP courses. While described learning outcomes are often similar across the institutions, the course design varies considerably from site to site. The aim was to compare students’ learning outcomes as measured by the Interprofessional Collaborative Competencies Attainment Survey…
Background: Emerging models of care highlight the importance of interprofessional collaboration (IPC) and research demonstrates the bidirectional relationship between oral health and systemic disease. This is an ideal opportunity to incorporate oral health into interprofessional education (IPE) learning activities. Focusing on preventive health through oral care in IPE activities improves patient outcomes, decreases medical costs, and improves the health of the population. …
Background: Dental professionals have been strong advocates for interprofessional education (IPE). At the University of Florida College of Dentistry, all first-year dental students participate in a required interprofessional service-learning experience, Putting Families First (PFF). During PFF, students in diverse, interprofessional teams of four, are assigned a local volunteer family during the first academic year. Teams conduct four home visits and implement a…
Background Education across health professions, rather than in silos, is essential to preparing future healthcare providers for team-based healthcare. A major challenge is how to involve distance learners in IP team activities. This poster documents progress and challenges encountered in engaging an interprofessional (IP) design team of students and faculty working in partnership, to develop an on-line IP Collaboratory course.   Design Students, faculty and staff…
Background: Most pharmacy student experiential IPE occurs in a naturally occurring and non-deliberate fashion. Opportunities for interprofessional teamwork may be limited to the rotational environment and access to other disciplines and their students. The purpose of this project was to provide a diverse series of intentional IPE experiences to increase exposure to a greater number of pharmacy students in their APPE rotations during their final clinical year. Design: Intentional IPE…
Background: Currently, aspects of ergonomics, including how different health professionals work to prevent musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), are taught to first-year dental students (DS1s), occupational therapy students (OTs) and physical therapy students (PTs) uniprofessionally at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UT Health San Antonio). Opportunities exist for these students to learn ergonomics together in didactic and clinical settings, which promises to…
Background   The University of Colorado-Anschutz’s Interprofessional Education (IPE) Program emphasizes teamwork and collaboration and its critical role in safe and effective patient care. Building on these concepts, School of Dental Medicine (SDM) faculty recognized a curriculum gap regarding safe patient management for individuals who experience significant difficulty with mobility, specifically transfers. Therefore, SDM faculty collaborated with Physical Therapy (PT)…
Background and Objective: Use of gaming has been shown to have a positive impact on higher education; however, data on the use of gaming activities in interprofessional health sciences education is lacking. The objective of this study was to describe the development and implementation of an interdisciplinary gaming activity to enhance learning and develop teamwork skills.   Methods: Faculty members created an innovative, educational game, which focused on two “gaming” strategies…
Background   Building on a previous IPE workshop where nurse practitioner (NP) students learned oral examination techniques from dental medicine (DM) students, faculty identified an opportunity to scaffold in a new learning activity in the Family NP/Adult Gerontology NP curriculum by incorporating a case study for the interprofessional groups of students to work through. These IPE activities address several nursing education competencies and dental education accreditation…
BACKGROUND: The next generation of health care workers will require interprofessional education (IPE) to prepare for interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP). To date, IPE growth and development in the United States has been primarily preclinical. Leading organizations recognize, however, that IPE must move meaningfully into clinical learning environments to improve health outcomes. The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UT Health San Antonio) is dedicated to…
