Nexus Innovation Challenge - Program Resources

Achieving the Optimal Interprofessional Clinical Learning Environment, symposium proceedings of the National Collaborative for Improving Clinical Environments (NCICLE), outlines the value and characteristics of high-functioning clinical learning environments from the perspectives of patients, learners, health systems and academic medical centers.

The 2019 Clinical Learning Environment Innovation Challenge was a 2-day dynamic, team-based, design thinking experience at the Nexus Summit 2019. This summary document provides an overview of the Innovation Challenge experience, including NCICLE's work on the interprofessional clinical learning environment, an introduction to the theory and use of design thinking to rapidly prototype solutions to complex problems, and case studies featuring the outcomes of the interprofessional team’s application to real-world challenges.

The 2021 Nexus Innovation Challenge was the first longitudinal program based on the short workshops in 2017 and 2019. To view short videos from participants sharing their experiences and the value of the program, please visit the Nexus Summit 2021 page here.
