Effective interprofessional (IP) experiences in the clinical learning environment are needed to enhance student competence in

communication and collaboration. This talk will describe a core set of activities and assessment developed to optimize the learning

and application of team-based skills in the clinical environment. A team of IP faculty developed a comprehensive model for IP teams

in the clinical learning environment called ILEAP (Interprofessional Learning Experiences and Practice). The model activities

promote the development of collaborative skills through participation of students (typically early learners in year 1 or 2 of training)

from six professions, with the added goals of creating effective evaluation and positively impacting patient care. Student teams are

required to demonstrate knowledge about the patient population, meet with patients at their clinical site, summarize and track patient

interactions, complete team-based skills activities, provide patient information back to preceptors, and summarize their findings at the

end of their site rotation. Presenters will introduce the ILEAP Toolkit and model components of clinical site readiness, student

readiness, a directed onsite curriculum, team coach training and assessment/evaluation instruments. We will outline the incorporation

of the Direct Observation of Team Interactions (DOTI) instrument as a framework for learning, common language, and assessment of

team-focused behavioral skills. We will share unique components of our onsite curriculum which structures activities to foster the

practice of team-based skills during the team’s clinical time. An example of the daily team processes will be presented. Presenters will also share results from the mixed-methods data collection through lessons learned. Attendees will hear ideas on content and tools

to develop clinical IP experiences for interprofessional teams. We will focus on aligning the curriculum content and assessment goals

to document student accomplishment from the IP experience. Supported by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation.
