This interactive workshop (materials freely downloadble and editable) has 4 modules that follow an older adult in the outpatient setting, focused on Mobility, Mind, Medications, What Matters/Multicomplexity. 

Evidence-based education that helps clinicians improve care.

Online modules: Available to all health professionals and community-based organizations, these modules developed by CATCH-ON educate about normal aging, managing multiple chronic conditions, dementia and working with interprofessional geriatric health care teams as well as the 4Ms of an Age-Friendly Health System (What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility). A version of these modules, aimed at older adults and their families, is available in English and Spanish.

This teaching strategy from the National League of Nursing's Advancing Care Excellence for Caregivers series uses a case study approach to engage students to think through a complex situation involving an older adult who is starting to decline and a concerned family member who is becoming a caregiver. The use of technology to assist the aging adult to live safely at home, commonly referred to as aging in place, is emphasized. Learning objectives, learner pre-work, and suggested learning activities and readings are included. Files are downloadable/printable.

OHNEP's new Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities Interprofessional Oral Health Clinical Experience Guide brings students from different health professions together for a team-building clinical rotation where they learn to more effectively provide whole-person care for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). This guide is a model used by NYU College of Dentistry and NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing for Dental (DDS) Students and Pediatric Nurse Practitioner (PNP) students.

OHNEP has developed three innovative interprofessional oral health experiences for students across health professions. These model oral health simulation and live clinical experiences are designed to operationalize the IPEC Core Competencies while building oral-systemic competencies.

In collaboration with the National League for Nursing (NLN), OHNEP has developed several teaching-learning strategies for oral health integration across care settings. NLN's Advancing Care Excellence Series (ACE) initiative includes programs with free curricular resources that focus on improving care for vulnerable and underserved populations. We encourage faculty and educators to incorporate these strategies into their curricula and build awareness of the importance of inteprofessional care and oral health in primary and acute care settings.

This resource is an interactive 3-hour didactic and skills practice workshop designed to train faculty to conduct a peer-teaching observation and provide feedback focused on interprofessional teaching. The didactic portion of the workshop focuses on the ways that interprofessional teaching differs from uniprofessional teaching, discusses elements of effective feedback, and reviews the critical steps of a peer-teaching observation.

Developed by the Information Dissemination Core of the Johns Hopkins Older Americans Independence Center, FrailtyScience.org is a state-of-the-art online resource for clinicians and researchers that focuses on the science of frailty and resiliency, and how it may impact the health and wellness of older adults. The overall goal is to improve the understanding of how frailty develops, how to best assess it, and how to best treat and prevent frailty-related decline.
