Introducing Collaborative Care: Teaching Basics of Interprofessional Education in an Online Environment
This chapter describes the development and implementation of an innovative course in interprofessional education (IPE), which ensures a large number and variety of health professions students have the appropriate foundations to collaborate. A description of the institution and the process of implementing interprofessional education is followed by a presentation of challenges and then solutions to address them in the creation of the course. Future research avenues in interprofessional education will be explored.
Interprofessional Education and Experiences Within Therapeutic Recreation Education
Interprofessional education (IPE) has been defined as two or more students or professionals from different disciplines learning from, with, and about each other. It is anticipated that through a collaborative environment of interprofessional education, professionals gain the proficiencies to assure improved patient safety and quality of care. The purpose of this manuscript is to introduce the concept of IPE and highlight IPE in therapeutic recreation/ recreational therapy education.
Developing and implementing interprofessional faculty development programming at academic medical centers: Identifying strengths, barriers, and opportunities
Strategic planning, typically used in business settings, can also be useful in developing and implementing interprofessional faculty development programming. Using the SWOT analysis, a strategic planning technique, educational leaders can identify the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats to interprofessional faculty development at their medical centers and plan innovative programing to address this need.
Objectives:
The Irreducible Needs of Interprofessional Education – Creating and Sustaining an Institutional Commons for Health Professions Training
Leaders in health professions education schools and programs are under pressure to respond to new accreditation requirements for interprofessional education (IPE). The work of creating and sustaining an IPE program at an academic health center is in many ways analogous to the challenge of creating and sustaining a “commons”—a set of resources shared by many, but owned by none.
Interprofessional Education: What Measurable Learning Outcomes Are Realistic for the Physician Assistant Profession?
This multi-institutional study examines changes in physician assistant student attitudes at program entry and at graduation, using the RIPLS and IEPS, and discusses implications for IPE curricula and theimportance of role models for IPE.
