Overview:

Interprofessional Education (IPE) is recommended to help promote collaborative patient-centered care.  Various external accreditors in the health professions have integrated IPE competencies into their standards, but there is limited information about integrating IPE into graduate curricula. Many of the IPE initiatives are based in medicine, pharmacy, nursing and other well-established health professions. However, professions such as psychiatric mental health nursing and athletic training are not always included.  This webinar will present, and give examples of, how these professions can be included to add value to IPE programs. 

Objectives: 

• Describe the philosophical overlap between interprofessional education competencies and recovery concepts

• List barriers and solutions as well as advantages of  distance delivery of IPE content

• Discuss results of the first two cohorts of RIDE students, and how those results will inform future IPE offerings

• Describe the profession of Athletic Training and the interprofessional nature of education and clinical practice in the field.

• Describe how inclusion of Athletic Training faculty and students can enhance IPE initiatives.

• Describe specific examples of how Athletic Training programs have included Interprofessional Education into the professional preparation of their students.
