Presenting at the Nexus Summit:

This seminar will explore how signature pedagogies of health professions education shape learning and potentially interfere when learning interprofessional collaborative practice skills. Through interactive dialogue, we will stimulate a knowledge community committed to developing a new signature pedagogy for interprofessional education (IPE).   Participants will: 1. Explore a professional signature pedagogy through the lens of teaching-learning strategies for person-centered care and teamwork. 2. Propose important elements of an interprofessional signature pedagogy. 3. Compare and…

At present, there are limited distance teaching materials designed to orient students and clinicians together for optimal team performance. In this seminar, we share findings from our research on student and clinician…

Keeping team members focused on common goals and working toward high quality, value and a great patient and provider experience (Quadruple Aim anyone?) is not for the faint of…
