Wendy Rheault, PT, PhD and Susan Tappert, PT, DPT
In 2004, Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science (RFUMS), in response to the Institute of Medicine’s recommendation that healthcare care professionals work in interprofessional teams, created a course to educate all first year students from distinct healthcare programs to work together in interprofessional teams of 14 to 15 with a faculty/administration facilitator. In this webinar, Wendy Rheault, PT, PhD, and Susan Tappert, PT, DPT, will share the experiences of the University over the last 10 years while presenting a primer for universities and colleges who are new to interprofessional education. Topics such as assessing your university’s readiness for interprofessional education, developing a start-up plan or plan to redesign your current program, designing the interprofessional program, faculty development and leadership are among the topics that will be presented. | October 30, 2013
